Looking for a ruleset

Gonna make this short...
I build Web browser RPGs and MMOs. Mostly 2d text style. I try to keep them as RPG as possible.

I have a new game design that will allow players to not only play quests/adventures but make them for other people to play also. Much like NWN but instant click and play and more text based.

What i need is a already made system. Preferably one with plenty of already made content, published or not. I would like the players to be able to download the manuals to the game so they it can be treated like a pen and paper game. Depending on the popularity of the game system and its author would get attention to their work.

I am looking for a system with a ruleset, equipment, spells/abilities, ect.. already made or in the process of being made. It takes long enough to code the game let alone have to write a system and balance it.

Thanks....

Re: Looking for a ruleset

i have a complete rules set and have just joined the forge to see about promoting it. i have a site where i'm uploading the rules at the moment but haven'y made it public yet, i've only let a few friends see it so far and people on a couple of small rpg forums run by other friends of mine. how long will it take you to code a game? working on your own, surely that'll be a long time. years perhaps?

my system is a low-fantasy game as well: i.e. no fireballs, no lightning bolts e.t.c. spellcasters cast protection circles,divinations and such-like, so no truly offensive,damage dealing magic. i'm not sure if this would translate well to a computer game.

do you have any games you've made on the net at the moment?

I may have a ruleset that would work well for this.

Will you be taking any money for the MMO for any aspect of play? Do you plan on paying the person whose system you use for your use of their game system?
