City 17 RP — Text-Based Half-Life 2 Roleplay - mIKe - 03-03-2026 ★ City 17 RP — Text-Based Half-Life 2 Roleplay ★ Getting Started When you first visit, you'll be asked to create a character. Pick a name and write a short physical description — this is what other players see when they /look at you. Everyone starts as a Citizen at the Train Station with 100 HP, 100 Hunger, and 0 tokens. You only get one character per account, so choose your name wisely. Not ready to commit? Guests can spectate the Train Station without logging in. The World The game spans 55 rooms across three regions:
Use /map at any time to see an ASCII map of discovered areas. Unexplored rooms show as [???] until you find the exits yourself. Basic Commands Moving Around Use the direction buttons below the command input, or type directions directly: /go north — Move to another room (or just: n, s, e, w, u, d) /look — See the current room, exits, items, and who's here /exits — List available exits (also shown in direction bar) /map — ASCII map of discovered areas Some exits are hidden — explore thoroughly! Hidden passages, grates, and tunnels connect areas you might not expect. Talking /say Hello! — Say something to everyone in the room (shortcut: "Hello!) /yell HELP! — Shout — heard in adjacent rooms too /whisper Bob Hi — Private message to someone in your room /me smiles — Emote — displays as * YourName smiles * /it rains — Narrate the environment /ooc — Out-of-character chat (global) /looc — Local OOC (room only) /roll — Roll 1-100 (for RP decisions) Your Character /stats — View your HP, hunger, faction, level, and playtime /desc — Update your physical description /name — Change your character name /inventory — Check what you're carrying (also in sidebar) /examine item — Inspect an item's description Items & Interaction Items are scattered around the world — scavenged supplies, contraband, lore terminals, and more. /take crowbar — Pick up an item from the room /drop medkit — Leave an item on the ground /give Bob medkit — Give an item to another player (same room) /use medkit — Use a consumable (food heals hunger, medkits heal HP) /read terminal — Read a lore terminal (can't be picked up) Contraband items (crowbar, weapons, resistance gear) are illegal. Civil Protection can /search you — if caught carrying contraband, expect consequences. Contraband also drops when you die. The ACTIONS panel in the sidebar shows context-sensitive buttons — Take, Read, Attack, Shop, etc. — based on what's in the room. Use these for quick interaction without typing. Combat City 17 is dangerous. Hostile NPCs roam the Canals, Sewers, Ravenholm, and Highway 17 — and other players can be a threat too. /attack zombie — Attack an NPC /attack Bob — Attack another player (not in safe zones) /defend — Brace — 50% damage reduction for 30 seconds /surrender — Give up — if CP is present, you're auto-arrested /heal Bob — Vortigaunts only — heal another player for 30 HP Weapons & Damage
Safe Zones: The Plaza and Nexus Lobby — no combat allowed. Death: When you die, contraband drops in the room. After 30 seconds you respawn at the Train Station with 50 HP and 50 Hunger. Hunger: Actions drain hunger (moving -1, attacking -2, working -3). At 0 hunger, you take 1 HP damage per action. Eat food to recover. NPCs: Zombies, headcrabs, fast zombies, poison zombies, zombines, antlions, and Combine soldiers spawn in their respective regions. They fight back — watch your HP. Killing NPCs drops loot and earns EXP. Economy & Jobs The currency is Combine-issued tokens. /balance — Check your token balance (aliases: /bal, /tokens) /jobs — List available jobs /job scavenger — Take a job (must be in the right room) /work — Clock in — earn wages based on playtime /transfer Bob 50 — Send tokens to another player (same room) /ledger — View your transaction history Jobs:
