Not a sign up thread at the moment, just a place to put down some notes for some playtesting:
Story: The year is... not really sure, no one really knows what year it is, all they know that is for some reason, civilization as it was known was mostly destroyed about a century ago, followed by the uprising of strange hybrid monsters and abominations, the world quickly became a rather dangerous place to live. Thus people decided to get together and try to stake out their own claim to the land, and because of the vast desert land, a lot of old wild west type societies were created, alongside of that was the rise of men and women alike that tried to create large mechanical fortresses to try to rule the land. Others decided that with the lawless land to become raiders and bandits, while still others became researches, out to try to figure out what happened to this world and if it's possible to change things back to the way they were...

Starting Abilities:
Angel of the Battlefield [5 Uses]: Choose one item that you have, you may apply one use of the item for every ally you have provided you have enough uses of the item (ie: If you want to use a healing capsule on 4 allies including yourself, you must spend 4 of the item)
Medical Training: All healing items used by you are 20% more effective, as long as you are conscious, all allies use healing items at 10% more efficiency.
Artist
Even in the Wild West, there is always room for entertainers, and when not entertaining or trying to create works of art, these people are hard at work creating various concoctions and ammunition...
Abilities:
Craft: Choose a recipe you know, attempt to make an item
Play Dead: Fall over dramatically and pretend that you are dead, and pray that enemies will not attack you. If you have no allies that are alive, 50% chance enemies will simply go away. Upon getting up, if you attack on the same turn (cannot get up on the turn where you used this ability), add a 10% damage bonus on this turn. Most enemies will not be fooled twice.
