From the minds that brought you the once critically acclaimed but now abandoned "Roll to Rap" comes the most authentic middle school slumber party experience this side of the Internet...
Roll to Slumber Party!!
The Story
The year is 2017 and you're in the sixth grade. Hair grows all over you as great red zits dot the cratered and oily landscape that is your face. It is also the twilight era of calling slumber parties "slumber parties." You and several others have been invited to one such party by your mutual friend, Stan Dudley, the star of the school baseball team and all-around cool dude. Stan's lavishly wealthy parents have decided, from what must have been sheer apathy, that this slumber party can be co-ed, so don't restrict yourselves when creating characters. You decide to bring the essentials in your backpack for the slumber party, so you prepare yourself carefully.
The Rules
1. Actions are to be posted in Bold.
2. Speech is to be posted in "quotes."
3. Typical D6 odds with 6 being the overshoot, 5 being optimal success, 4 being partial success, 3 being partial failure, 2 being failure, and 1 being a critical failure.
The Family Situation
Henry Dudley: Father of Stan, Rex, and Richard; Husband to Gloria. Henry is a bearded, old man who has a penchant for drinking that he picked up after his duty in 'Nam. When he isn't drinking with his friends or his wife to forget about his kids, he is drinking by himself wondering what went wrong with his kids. Apart from his apparent alcoholism, he has an equally unhealthy obsession with firearms, given that he has an armory in the basement. Stan tells you that he last saw him going into the armory with a few crates of liquor and advises that everyone leave him alone for the evening.
Gloria Dudley: Mother of Stan, Rex, and Richard, Wife to Henry. Gloria is a contemporary to Henry in terms of age, but her lifestyle is quite different. Rumor has it that she runs a heroine smuggling operation out of the house and that her family's wealth comes from that, but no one has seen anything suspicious, yet. She is tall and is almost always wearing a nice business outfit. Despite her ice-cold demeanor, she too is disappointed in how her first two children ended up. Tonight, she has been in her bedroom making call after call and yelling loudly.
Richard Dudley: Firstborn to Henry and Gloria, elder brother of Rex and Stan. Richard is a laughably overweight ball of feelings. Not much is known about him, for he is rarely seen except for when he makes excursions to find better computer parts. His parents are disappointed in him because he spends almost all of his time playing some game about fortresses and dwarves, or was it dwarves in a fortress? Anyway, he lazes around consuming nothing but pizza rolls and mountain dew, constantly muttering about his "special creation" in some ungodly tongue. Tonight, he is in his room, having been in there for twelve whole days. Flashing lights emanate from beneath his door.
Rex Dudley: Son to Henry and Gloria, younger brother to Richard, elder brother to Stan. Speaking of "ungodly," we now have Rex, the typical middle child. He is a lanky, tall freshman that is socially withdrawn like his older brother. Ever since he saw devil sticks on TV when he was 9, he decided that he would become a conjurer. He recently started a cult based on sacrifice and summoning demons to the Earth realm so that they can be the most powerful people in the world. (Un)Fortunately for you all, they happen to have a meeting in his room tonight, of all times.
Stan Dudley: Son of Henry and Gloria, younger brother to Richard and Rex. Stan is the crown jewel of his family. He is short, but incredibly muscular. He is a star athlete, pretty smart, and a social animal to boot. You all have "fond" memories of how you met Stan and how you became friends. There was no doubt in your mind that you wanted to go to his legendary slumber party at least once. He has told you that there will be beer, pizza, and video games and that anything goes tonight! He greets you at the door and welcomes you to his abode, asking that you make yourself at home.
The Goal
Survive the night with his crazy family.
The Map
Coming maybe!
I'm not sure if an actual map would be effective on a RTD game such as this, I'll see how things go.
The Dudley compound has 4 floors: The basement, where there is a den, an armory, a manhole cover with a rug over it, and the typical amenities one would expect in a basement; the first floor, where the kitchen, home theater, fireplace, foyer, and dining room can be found; the second floor, where Stan's room, Rex's room, and Richard's room are located; and the third floor, where the master bedroom and other closets are found. Each floor has a bathroom and each bedroom has its own bathroom. There are a couple closets on each floor as well.

Background: Mike is one of the top 3 players on the school basketball team. Mike is determined to be the best at what he does. He is competitive and driven.
How you met Stan Dudley: One day at school, Mike was talking to his friends about whether or not he should join the basketball team. His "friends" were skeptical and didn't think he'd be good enough. Just then, Stan walked up and told Mike that he believed in him and told him to try out for basketball. Mike was still indecisive, but after Stan gave a speech about never giving up on your dreams, Mike finally got the courage to apply. Mike has been thankful ever since.
Items in Backpack: Basketball
Name: Steven Boyd
Appearance: 6'3, brown hair, blue eyes. Wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap for (insert rival sports team.)
Background: Boyd is from a decently middle-class family, and was always particularly good with words, writing long, pithy reports and getting great grades. He wanted to join the school newspaper, but found, to his surprise, there wasn't one. So, he founded his own newspaper, and started writing about events around the school.
How I Met Stan: Eventually, inevitably, Stan read the paper. It wasn't half bad, but Stan noticed in the sports section that, when talking about the baseball team's last season, the reporter had called Stan. "overrated" and "not a star." Stan tracked down Steve, and asked for a meeting about this. To his surprise, instead of getting angry, Stan asked for an explanation. Steve went into detail about the flaws in Stan's playing style, and he took it to heart, improving greatly afterwards. They've been friendly ever since, although neither of them spend much time together.
Items in Backpack: Notebook, pen.
Name: Janet Stone
Appearance: 5'6", white jacket over a black shirt and a white skirt, black hair, hazel eyes.

Name: Charles "Bad Juju" Greenbergsteinowitz
Appearance: He is in his twenties, is black, and is about six foot ten.
Background: Born in the most stereotypical black jewish family, Charlie managed to run away before they cut off most of his valued body parts and was later educated by his aunt. She was an even more stereotypical voodoo lady and our hero had learned some tricks of dark magics from her, while avoiding becoming yet another nameless mook, and to make things right and change his life, he stated rapping. He knew he could kick ass, and he soon got all of his money and left. He is currently 24 years old.
How you met Stan Dudley:
Stan appreciates good rappin',
and without mad tag slappin',
Bad Juju ain't bad at rhyme dappin',
and when his disc came out cappin'
ass, Stan liked his tune scribblin' pal
and promised him not one fine gal,
if he only got with him into business with a .50 cal.
Items in Backpack:
A boombox, a mix of all previously made songs by Bad Juju, a mic and a bit of grass.
Name: Geraldo Stephani
Appearance: Italian, brown hair, overweight, wearing a sloppy-looking shirt and pants.
Background: Geraldo is a talented chef, despite only being in sixth grade. He is very passionate about food, so much so that he neglects things like hygiene and personal health. He is absurdly proud of his skills and tends to look down on others.
How you met Stan Dudley: After winning a cooking competition, Geraldo was approached by Stan. Stan offered Geraldo the chance to become his highly paid personal chef. Geraldo was flattered, but of course he declined. A sixth grader of his caliber could never restrain his talent to benefit only one person. Geraldo planned to be recognized worldwide! Still, Stan's offer did give him a big ego boost. Even now, Geraldo still brags about how he turned down such an amazing offer and stuck to his lofty ideals.
Items in Backpack: Autographed photos of himself, a portfolio containing photos of his best creations, and beef jerky that he made himself
