The last one died ):
Lets try this again!
Standard 6 sided die rule: 1 is 'complete fail', 6 is 'overdid it'.
Example:
I revive Roll for the player above you
[1] Your attempt gets annihilated on the way to the server.
I always roll a 6
[4] Somewhat successful. It only counts in another universe.
I attempt to revive Roll for the player above you.
-
[3] Well, it's here. No way of knowing how long it'll last.
Create some kind of proper RTD; a dungeon crawl, for now.
-
[6]
You are succesful, you have a decently sized group of people who are interested in playing, possibly to many for you to GM, and it has custom species and classes with randomly generated but thematically appropriate abilities
However in doing so you notice a trend with your worlds events that leads you to believe you may in fact be living in an RTD. This taxes your mind heavily, knowing that even the most inane action could have dire consequences, and that you exist only for anothers entertainment.
be the most rascally street urchin to ever live
-
[2] you become a gnome urchin, which is to say you live in someone's garden begging for money and food. It's a hard life, and you're fed up of it. You are far from rascally too.
become the first boss of the dungeon crawl RTD, a giant insectoid that summons zombified people via parasitic larva planted in their heads.
-
[6]
Congrats! You are the first boss.
Specifically, you're the tutorial boss.
Your zombies are weak, and their sole purpose is to provide predictable enemies that new players can test out the mechanics on. You yourself are an easy fight, too; your HP is low, your only attack is summoning more of these weak zombies, and so on and such forth. Players just strong enough to complete the tutorial take to farming you for money and summoning items. The zombies they can make with these are at least twice as strong as your own.
Now, create the dungeon! It will be infinite - in fact, it will be set in the Infinity Mansion (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=165000.msg7520342#msg7520342)! Yes! It's perfect!
Get lost, my players! Get hopelessly lost!
-
[1] You make a very finite hut. A boss in the form of a 1 hp goblin gimmick lives inside. Getting lost is literally impossible
Build a bandwagon for people to jump on. give it a time machine.
-
Well, since I've been replaced by a goblin, I guess my becoming a tutorial boss is invalidated.
[6] your bandwagon time machine turns out to be a bandwagon reality-hopper. As such, one of the first things you do is land in my boss room (which is in an actual dungeon where I am not a tutorial boss) and end up with me putting a maggot in your head, which starts eating your brain and turning you into a zombie.
Level up a couple of times and learn some fighting moves since 1hp goblin dude took my place as tutorial boss.
-
[2]
Eh. Well, you didn't die, but you've had to run from the fights you've found yourself in. You're going to need to find a lower-level area if you want to level up... which is probably going to be hard. May I suggest whaling on the goblin for a while?
Try salvaging my failing RTD. Maybe we can try a more Undead Hunt (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=164517.msg7485151#msg7485151)-esque game this time?
EDIT: Just so you guys know... first post? I fudged the roll. :p
Didn't have a die-roller available, and it just seemed to be appropriate for the action.
-
[1]
The attempt fails in a dramatic fashion that forever discredits you in the eyes of the Forum. The resulting avalanche of hate forces Toady to assign moderators and push back the next DF release.
I end this game.
-
[2] you fail to stop the game, as you are not the one who started it.
farm the 1 Hp goblin for levels using my zombie minions to help!
-
[6]
Well, the goblin's been farmed alright. Problem is, you used your zombie minions to farm it... and they were the ones that got the XP.
They don't want to be your minions anymore.
Pass the RTD off to someone competent (not Ghazkul) and make a character myself.
-
[5...]
The person you hand it off to turn out to be Tiruin! Your character is nice and rounded.
I learn RTD and Mafia knowledge from somebody.
-
3
Hi I am thereal Tiruin. Life is too short for worries.
She I teaches you how to run a Mafia game, but not an RTD.
Power up the Tiruinmobile and do normal real Tiruin things like be from the Philppines and play RTDs.
-
[Auto-1]
You are not Tir. Begone from here foul imposter-dragon.
Look for loot.
-
5
You find a lot of dragon themed loot and a new party member
Smoke Mirrors has joined the party!
Begin learning Magic
-
[6]
You learn magic, and turn out to be a prodigy! You quickly become very skilled at it, but at a cost: turns out that characters need balancing! Your natural prowess in magic is a detriment to all your other stats! Many are at 0 or even -1, with your charisma being your main dump stat at -2
Learn from Tiruin how to branch out onto the rest of the forum from FEF!
-
o/ Eyo Jerila
[6]
You go all over the forum! People see you everywhere, doing everything!
Unfortunately, that takes up a lot of time... time that you should really be spending doing homework. Oops.
Using my dragon equipment (confirmed real because roll of 5), defend Smoke Mirrors to allow for stat growth.
-
[4] Using your Draconic Gear, you go visit Smoke Mirror. Your awesome appearance turns out so inspiring that Smoke Mirrors starts brushing his teeth and taking good care of his skin, restoring his charisma. Then filled with inspiration, he works with such dedication that he overcomes his detrimental stats!
Visit the grave of the previous game. Smoke a cigarette, pour a bottle of whiskey on it, and says:
"That was a fun ride. Rest well ol' friend."
And then roll a die.
-
I'm actually supposed to be doing homework. Either way, heyo \o
[5]
The grave is peaceful and there is a light drizzle. Perfect for setting the mood, but not harsh enough to make your cigarette difficult to light. Its spirit appreciates your visit and gift of whiskey. It can truly rest now.
Nonetheless, there's rolling to be done! You roll a die. For what purpose? It's only known by you, and the PM sent to Tiruin.
[4] Not too shabby.
Hop in the RTD as a charisma based person!
-
6
You get into a game and you have incredible charisma, you are capable of bluffing your way out of anything. Unfortunately, all the enemies are non sentient, and can't be bluffed.
Work on stat growth.
-
People seem to be rolling a lot of sixes in here.
(6)
You work incredibly hard to bring your other stats on par with your magic level, but in the process you forget most of your training in spellcasting and wizardry and whatever. Now you have all-around amazing stats, but you can't control your innate magic powers, which creates a trail of chaos and destruction in your wake. Oh, and Glass is in mortal danger right now because he's your party member.
Work to make Estratia a better RTD.
-
[5]
It's perfect! Everything about it has been made great! There's something for every player that might conceivably play and RTD!
That said, I'm not sure 100% what or who Estratia is. But the game you made/improved is absolutely awesome!
Now. Split off from SM and go work on finding him some magic-controlling artifacts. I don't think that anything is going to attack him while I'm out; there's a couple small hurricanes made of fire and poison and stuff revolving around him and they look dangerous.
-
Estratia is my RtD. It has gotten rather inactive in the last few months, although that's mainly my fault. Anyway, back to the game...
(1)
You search high and low for something that could inhibit or control smoke mirrors' destructive magic, but find absolutely nothing. Nobody seems to have ever heard of such an artifact, nor can you find any trace of one and to top it all off, you get lost in a large cave that you've started searching recently. You can hear a roar coming from the depths.
Get surgery for eye laser implants then go on a quest to find a very specific dwarf called Holfi.
-
No clue who Smokescreen is, but good thing that roll didn't effect me in the slightest. Hello new party member.
6
You get the implants, but unfortunately, the lasers shoot from behind your eyes, blinding you. You begin your quest.
Use my amazing int and wis scores to make an artifact that will help.
-
Ouch. Also, sorry for the typo.
(1)
Unfortunately, you manage to create a crystal that instead amplifies your magic powers even further, making everything around you an area of literal death and despair. To make matters worse, the artifact binds itself to your right hand permanently.
Stop my quest for now and go find a healer to cure my blindness and maybe fix my eye lasers.
-
Okay guys, please try to wait for at least 2 people to post before posting again yourself. At least, that's the standard that I've been using, and it's been better in my opinion.
Anyway...
[3]
You stopped your quest, and you're looking for a healer. Kind of hard considering you're blind, but you've heard of who can help. Now to find your way there.
Now, search that roaring dungeon for useful stuff. If it's dangerous, it should have good loot.
Can I get a +1 for high-quality equipment?
-
2+1
You manage to find a strange orange crystal that sucks in light and nothing else. Well, it is loot.
(To clarify, that means you find nothing else, not that it does nothing else.)
Search for some demons that feed on negative emotions and bind them.
-
[4]
Despite the fact that all around you is a ridiculous amount of wild magic, you manage to find some demons and not kill them straight away. You quickly think of the death of your old pet fish from when you were a child. It's not sad enough to make the demons stronger, but you can tell from their expressions that they're feeding off of it. Time to bind them! Your magical capabilities certainly help you out here.
[5+1 from super strong magic]
The binding goes off without a hitch! ...Well, almost. At first glance, the demons seem perfectly fine, but the strength of your magic is too much! The bindings are killing them! Well, they're not exactly alive, so you can't be killing them... Either way, they're soon gonna be unresponsive forever.
You get 2 actions before the demons are vanquished!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Start bluffing the players to be ACTUAL tanks for me!
(Smoke, it's a different Meta-RTD than the one you and Neo are in, right?)
-
I don't believe I'm in another meta RTD with Neo.

You try, but instead, they turn against you, and you loose your voice at the same time.
Create a tiny village in a snow glove where the people are constanstantly being gruesomely killed by a terrifying murder (Saw like fashion) and then returning from the dead without their memories in order to provide constant fuel for the demons so they won't die.
