GeneriVenture: a 100% completely totally generic RPG of craziness

Blunderbus

Welcome to this land of This Land! In This Land we find the Random Evil Dark Lord trying to take over or something! A group of really not special at all adventurers will set off on a quest to ki-uh I mean "seal away" the Random Evil Dark Lord once and for all! Hopefully.

This is 100% entirely generic, totally, no interesting things at ALL will happen. Totally. 100%.

Gameplay
There will be two different parts to this RPG: in battle and exploring. Exploring works as a more free-form RPG where events will occur, and if you do some type of actions a d20 will be rolled to see if you succeed (e.g. trying to jump over a gap in exploring will use a d20).

In battle follows a grid-based form, that can be found here. Each person has a movement stat that changes how many tiles they can move, and certain types of tiles affect the movement (see the Key for more detail). You move to a spot where you can attack one of the enemies and then you enter combat.
If you don't defeat the enemy in a single round of combat, they get the chance to counter. This also goes for when the enemy attacks you.

There's no permadeath in this RPG, so you don't need to worry about your characters dying. For that reason, however, you're limited to two characters you can control (since I don't want to get a million different people I have to keep track of :P)

Each character can hold up to 3 weapons and up to 3 items. If you have full weapons / items and you pick up another one, it gets sent to storage. You can swap out items with ones in storage at any time out of battle, and there will also be a chance to swap items before each battle.

Statistics

For characters:
HP: Pretty self explanatory. If you hit 0 HP, you die and can't do anything for the rest of the battle. (You are revived at the end, however.)
Power (Pow): Your character's strength. An extra point in this means an extra point of damage you do.
Defense (Def): Physical defense: a point in this takes away 1 damage when you're hit by a physical attack.
Resistance (Res): Magical defense: one Res reduces magic damage taken by 1.
Speed (Spd): How fast your character can move. Affects hit rate, dodge rate and double attacks. You double attack if you have at least 5 more Spd than the enemy, and get doubled if the enemy has 5 more Spd than you.
Luck: Affects your chance to land a critical hit.
Movement speed (Mov): How many tiles you can move in one turn. Some tiles take more than one Mov to traverse.
Level (Lvl): The current level of your character. The maximum level is 30.
Experience (Exp): The amount of experience your character has. You level up once you get 100 experience. You gain Exp from defeating enemies, dealing damage to enemies and through certain events outside of battle.

For weapons:
Type: The type of weapon. Each class has different types of weapons they can and can't equip.
Durability: The number of uses the weapon has left. When this reaches 0, it breaks. The basic weapons are all unbreakable.
Weapon Power (WP): Adds on to your character's natural Power. One WP increases damage dealt by 1.
Accuracy (Acc): Your base chance to hit with the weapon, affected by your and your enemy's Spd and defensive terrain.
Weight (Wt): How heavy the weapon is, and how hard it is to maneuver when holding it. Each point of Wt decreases your speed by 1.
Crit: Your base chance to land a critical, affected by your and your enemy's Luck.
Range: The number of tiles away the weapon can hit.

Classes

Adventurer: Well-rounded travelers skilled in all forms of physical combat.

Fighter: Heavy-hitting mercenaries that are somewhat lacking defensively. Wield axes and swords.

Ninja: Fast and lucky swordsmen who have slightly increased Mov. Low Def and Pow.

Knight: Slow-moving, but can take many physical hits. Can use spears and axes.

Sorcerer: Hard-hitting mages that are lacking defensively. Use dark and elemental magic.

Spellsword: Swordsmen that are also adept in elemental magic.

Weapon types
Swords: Fine weapons with high Acc and Crit, as well as low Wt. Get a bonus against Axes.
Axes: Very heavy-hitting, but somewhat lacking in accuracy. Get a bonus against Spears.
Spears: Well-rounded weapons with good power and accuracy, but don't provide much Crit. Get a bonus agains Swords.
Elemental Magic: Natural magic that is powerful and accurate. Gets a bonus against Light Magic. Some tomes can buff allied characters.
Light Magic: Divine tomes that are light and accurate, with bonus Crit. Gets a bonus against Dark Magic. Some tomes can heal allies or restore status.
Dark Magic: Ancient texts that contain great power, but sacrifice accuracy. Gets a bonus against Elemental Magic. Some tomes inflict debuffs over a distance.

"Defeat... the Random Evil Dark Lord?" Ringo asked, "Gods no, I can't do that, I can't even stay with the rest of the circus without getting lost..." Ringo slammed his head down on the table in defeat.

"I... I won't do it, ok?" Ringo said, "I can't defeat THE Random Evil Dark Lord, please go ask someone else instead... I don't know what you want from someone who's not even sure where he's at..."

((I'm beginning to think it was a bad idea to try writing a more serious character in an RPG that has no fourth wall.))

"...Fine, but as soon as I can get back with my group I'm leaving," said Ringo, "I'm a clown, not someone who would... try to fight Random Evil Dark Lord."

Ringo slowly leaves the tavern.

((Question: Are there promotions?))

"What? Uhh... sure?" Ringo responds.

Crazee Pi leaves back through the fourth wall because he doesn't think he has enough for anything.

Ryasis

"Let's to kill this evil wizard!" Winny yells really loudly which probably attracts some unwanted attention. "Sorry I get really passionate about this because he killed my family. You know, it's personal."
Hi. I'm A. Nube. What's your name?

Odin follows CrazeePi, because he is the only one advancing the storyline.

Winny feels she was meta insulted but continues doing what the meta insult rightfully said she was.
Hi. I'm A. Nube. What's your name?

Crazee Pi pushes Odin away from the fourth wall and tells redgreenandblue that they shouldn't be making their characters follow people who don't actually exist in the game's universe before disappearing.

Ringo watches from a distance, confused as to what's going on.

Blunderbus

Oh hey, apparently I ran out of lines in the OP, that's fun
Guess I'll start using the second post ‾\_(シ)_/‾

"Hey, thanks! Here ya go!"
You buy a map.

ok.

Nobody else really does anything of any importance.
