Roll To Dodge / RTD: Human Factory
« on: June 09, 2012, 04:53:58 pm »
You open your eyes for the first time. You remember nothing. But then maybe that is because there are no memories to remember. You are wet. Around you on the floor is broken glass and a strange fluid. In front of you seems to be some kind of conveyor belt. On the conveyor belt are glass containers, inside are humans suspended in some kind of liquid. You recognise one of the humans immediately. It's you. How is that possible? Then you realise that 1 of every six humans going past you on the conveyor belt is you. The word clone immediately springs to mind. Then you notice that around you on the floor are five other humans. They also have identical clone counterparts moving past on the conveyor belt. You appear to have some memories at least, because you find you can walk and talk, and you know what things are called and do even though you don't remember having seen them before... This is too much. What the hell is going on?
Ok great, so that's the start to this RTD. I'm looking for six volunteers to step into my world of madness
Standard RTD rules:
1=Epic fail
2=Fail
3=Minor success (depending on the difficulty of the action this may be a fail.)
4=Success (world bending actions will still fail here however)
5=Awsome Success (world bending actions will succeed here but game bending actions won't e.g mcstupid posts "my action is to win the game". This obviously will fail.)
6=Overshot (you probably achieved what you wanted but not quite in the manner you expected)
In terms of skills you start with none. You are literally a blank sheet to begin with. To gain a skill all you have to do is post an action involving that skill and roll a five. This way you won't get -1 to rolls for using that skill. To improve the skill you have to roll a 5, five times while using that skill. This will grant a +1 to the roll.
Items: you all start butt naked. That's right. Back to nature baby
Character Sheet
This RTD is meant to be totally open ended. I have some stuff worked out in my head that I want to happen to you, and sometimes I will drive you towards these things. However you are free to do what you want as a group.
A recommended starting goal:
Finding out where you are, who you are.
Rules:
Post actions in bold please. It's just easier for me that way.
Have fun!
EDIT: Damn, I knew there would be something I forgot to write down...
There is no wait list! When/if characters die, they die, no sudden appearance of random others into the game. However, if someone just forgets to post an action for their character lots of times in a row (we will decide how many later) then if someone wants to they could "take over that character".
