Title: Roll to Become a God
Post by: Custom Critical on November 21, 2017, 02:33:40 pm
Some are leaders. Some are heroes. Some are legends.

Then, there are those who crossed the threshhold into something greater. Those who have become . . . GODS!

TURN 01

>Go hunting for curative plants and animals. Set up shop in town, selling them.
[...] The plans you end up finding turn out to be poisonous rather than curative. Before you can even set up shop you take ill and are bed-ridden for a week.



>Destroy the most deadly machine created by man to destoy my fellow loaves of bread, the toasters
[...] The first toaster you find manages to see you coming and flee, leaving it free to continue charring your brethren to a crispy finish.



>Work on creating a pocket dimension generator.
[...] You get the basic components necessary to build one, but can't figure out how to assemble the parts. Well, you got the parts at least, right?



((If anyone knows the code for hovertext, please let me know. Thanks!))

Can I reserve a spot and sign up tomarrow ???

((Sure. Why not?))

Title: Re: Roll to Become a God
Post by: Custom Critical on November 22, 2017, 03:32:40 pm
>Search for bad guys to kill.
[...] Deciding to find some 'bad guys' to kill, you elect to take to the streets at night. You eventually find a group of armed bank robbers. You sigh as you lean against an adjacent wall, eavsdropping on the chatter. It appears they want to blow the main vault open and make out with the cash real quick like. Fortunately, you've found them at an opportune time! One of them was getting their explosives from the van while the rest of the goons idle inside the bank.



>Look for that toaster and bring a strong magnet with me to make sure that i can catch him
[...] You prepare yourself for a second encounter, bringing a magnet with you to immobilise the toaster and surely bring about a swift end. You find it, and the magnet works for a second. It manages to bring the toaster just close enough to burn half of your grainy, loafy body. Sadly, you now visibly burned and you're likely to suffer further impairments. Meanwhile, the toaster from before has gotten away. Again.


>Try and find any pieces that seem to fit together and go forward from there.
[...] You manage to find two pieces, then two more, and then more, that fit together. It's a slow, but sure process, and eventually, you have your machine! Er, what was it called again? You seem to have forgotten. Also, you missed a couple of important wires and so the machine, while in functional order, will only grant you two uses. After you visit and return twice, it will overheat. Darn.



>Recover and sell the herbs as poisons.
[...] You make a full recovery on the 8th day, and are back in working order. However, when you attempt to sell the herbs you end up catching the eye of the law, and you're now on their radar. You're being watched. Be careful!

It's a pocket dimension generator. And it needs to work better than that.

>I want a permanent pocket dimension that I can access easily. Fix up my machine so it can do that.
[...] The machine is fixed and will now function perfectly!



>Prepare special armour to defend me aganist the fiery attacks of the toasters
[...] You quickly forge some armour, but you're short some materials and it only covers the upper half of your body (arms included).

>Regardless of above, jump the guy with the explosives. Note the license plate.

[...] You attempt to sneak the shit out of the guy getting the explosives prepared. You made a note to look at the license plate on the van, but in the ensuing scuffle you forgot to thanks to your adrenaline pumping. You also end up breaking his bones a little too loudly, as one of the other goons are walking back outside to check on their explosives guy. Things will get sticky when they find him out cold and possibly paralysed!



>Go back to foraging, craft something that can serve as an antibiotic.
[...] Too bad. You head back to the wilds to forage for some medicinal plants. You don't quite find what you're looking for. Only one leaf from a new breed of plant that you have no idea about. Maybe you can try it and see? Risky business though.

((Also, apologies to Doomblade for missing their action!))

Great.

>Go to my new pocket dimension and begin exerting my will. Specifically, I want the place to have an endless forest as the lower level, interspersed with mountains, rivers, and other such features. Above, there will be an archipelago of floating islands; the largest one will be at the center, and will be attached by chains and bridges to the closer of the many surrounding islands. Other islands can be found floating around the mountains.

4=IIII
5=IIIII

There are only 4 people. And if you can't count because english isn't your first language or something, atleast waitlist the people who can't currently play because the game's full.

Edit: I even double checked, there have only been 4 actions in each turn so far. You also missed Paxie by the way.

My mistake. Your action has been added!

Climb out of my cave and go searching for where I put my spear.
[...] You find your spear as soon as you leave your cave. The bad news? A random barbarian has his mitts on it, thinking it to be a blessed weapon given from the gods. Whether it is or isn't doesn't matter; you obviously want your spear back. The question is, how will you get it back from him? He seems to be alone and unaware of your presence.

Tap him on the shoulder and politely ask for it back by informing him that there is nothing special about the spear except for the fact that I made it, mention that if he trades me something I would be willing to make him another.
