Hi all, I'm new to the BYOND system, but I'm familiar with the concepts and practices of programming and such. Not much on the C side, most of my experience in Javascript, PHP, and Ajax.

So I'm looking to implement the entire d20 system into a world. Basically to input the entire D&D 3.5 (Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 edition) system into a MMORPG style game. I honestly think there is enough of it that 98% of the DMs tasks could be automated with basic AI and Bots.

The game concept is to having a living world, with bot NPCs and PC running around completing quests, going after their goals, etc. I think that once players get established a social strategy system would takeover and the 3.5 system would just be the platform.

I know that this task is massive and my programmer friends that I talk to about it tell me that I'm taking on a task that is pretty large, but I'm up for the challenge.

So where do I start? Any tips, advice, offers of assistance, knowledge of already created platforms available etc. are much appreciated.
