So I recently got the pricedown font and-in a fit of inspiration-decided to write about 19 pages or so on tabletop version. How much interest is there in developing such a set of rules beyond what I've started out at?

Right. Sorry about that. So for clarity sake, pre-existing systems are a no-go.

Sounds awesome!

Oh I like to think it is. Just so we're clear, anyone who provides a contribution that gets used in the final rulebook gets a credit on page 1. Oh and I've written 3 pages since this thread went up.

How do your rules set it apart from existing systems (like Fate, Savage Worlds or GURPS) that could already run a GTA-style game?

At the moment, I'm able to explain it to you in 22 pages and counting. Maybe. I'm not prepared or willing to do so at any lesser level.

I have a feeling I'm going to look silly for not catching the actual acronym, but by GTA do you mean Grand Theft Auto?

Sounds like you're not looking silly at all, and you've caught the actual acronym :D. At the moment, I've drawn inspiration from the fact that all the literature on the wikia regarding HD verse games has referred to percentages. I don't like working with linear resolution, so I'm using dice pools and target numbers. I don't expect to be changing that any time soon. And as implied by message 4 in this thread, talk about pre-existing systems is off topic.

I'm up to 35 pages, including some sample characters that have appeared at various points in previous GTA games, and a stub of a setting based in the GTA equivalent of Chicago. My interest in this isn't likely to die before I do, so if anyone still cares, I'm still chugging along.

Been working on real estate, and the tedium of coverting weapons from the gtawiki over to the system.
