Roll To Dodge / Re: By the Unwritten book turn 0: So it begins

I've started writing the turn, but Person still needs to post his action, hopefully he does so soon.

« on: April 10, 2013, 07:54:53 pm »Each player will have a 50-calibre bullet at eye level moving towards them at killing velocity.I'm really sorry, but I am going to HAVE to veto this one, because reasonably anyone without extremely good dex would die, for the entire game, please, please, please chose something else.
Duck.
I don't want to limit people, but please don't break the game on purpose, doing that breaks the game, quickly... obviously.

« on: April 10, 2013, 07:45:58 pm »Can I choose where the item is moving on spawn, and at what velocity?
sure, but that will happen every. single. time. someone spawns. and it will happen 8 times in the first turn, and it needs to be a specific direction, not in the direction of any particular person.
EDIT: mind you, it would be funny as hell.

« on: April 10, 2013, 07:25:27 pm »If that grow pad tears a hole in the roof, can I fly out?I never said there was anything above the room except more solid concrete. the arena will remain boring until people make scenery or change it completely.
Can my item be moving?Yes, I intended vehicles to be in inventory/items, when somebody changed the world to something more open, which may happen someday. You can make an army jeep, a turret, something like that, but please don't make something like Panzer tank. Keep in mind that your choice is only one level higher than a random, non-weapon tool. Also keep in mind that it will be spawned in with each player, and every player afterwards.

Turn 0: So It Begins
MinMaximus:
[power:5; category: 1]
As you mysteriously appear in this mysterious room, you realize that your mysterious attire, appearance and personality (so mysterious that truly nothing is known about it. You also realize that you are faced with a mysterious decision, but at least it's clearly explained:
You may chose any item, of any kind, and each player will receive that item. It need not be real or logical.
John Maynard Keynes:
[power: 3; category: 3]
Seeing that there is no economy or unemployment to be fixed, you feel rather useless, but then you realize that if you create an economy (and some unemployment for fun) you'll have something to do. Clearly, the first step is to become king of this room, and your well on your way when the future of it is at least partially handed over to you:
You may moderately change human anatomy, basically anything short of adding a new appendage or major body part (changing one is fine.)
Hobo Joe:
[power: 5; catergory: 2]
you're not sure where you are, but it isn't that much better than where you were before, though it is definitely weirder, judging from the people around you.Somehow, though, you realize that you can make it even wierder, and the power brings a dirty, wide grin to your face.
You can create any magical power you want, and all players will be able to use it, at least those with any intelligence.
Joe Bridger:
[power: 3; category: 4]
You are torn away from your tower and find yourself in a large room, you instantly try to use one of your old spells, but find that it is impossible, frustrated and confused, you wait for the coming onslaught... that isn't coming that quickly. You do sense, however, that an outside force is giving you some help, even if it is odd:
You can add any piece of scenery, anywhere you want so long as it can fit in a 10 ft wide cube.
Rand:
[power: 2; category: 4]
You find yourself in a large concrete room with a severe lack of suffering and blood, you decide that this is a serious problem and you should fix it as soon as possible. You do have a bit of help in your horrifying journey, but not much. In fact, you feel instinctively outdone.
You can add any piece of scenery, anywhere you want so long as it can fit in a 2 ft wide cube.
Easter Bunny: ((odd first name, if you ask me.))
[power: 5; category: 5]
Finding yourself in the middle of a dull, sad room you feel very out of place. You also see many odd people and... things around you, and while you want to give them all eggs filled with candy, not all of them look like they would, or could, enjoy it. You do realize the chance to make a "friend" to help you in your travels, though.
you can make an NPC, any NPC, anywhere, but it won't automatically be your friend.
That One Guy:
[power: 3; category: 1]
Your reaction to suddenly being ripped out of your universe is extremely average: utter terror. Your power to change the game is pretty average too:
You can add any tool not designed to be a weapon to the inventory, cannot be a vehicle or armor of any kind, each player will receive it.
Blob:
[power: 4; category: 1]
You plop into the universe with a resounding squish, that is just about it. Oh, and there's this thing you can do, not that it will help you much:
You can choose any conventional item, (something from reality that isn't obscure) all players will receive it.
((you can use any item or magic power the turn you create it, everyone else has to wait a turn, I will add that to the OP. post your turn with your decision.))

Stats do have to be balanced, I added that to the OP, although it is a rule which can be changed. Sorry, Persus13, you'll have to take some negatives for that high intelligence.
Also, started a player list.
Edit: My last RTD died when I got so sick that even getting up from the couch and going to the computer was a difficult proposition at best. This one won't die, and I plan on making it !!FUN!! at all costs

Roll To Dodge / By the Unwritten book turn 3: FORCE Feed [PLAYERS WANTED]
« on: April 09, 2013, 07:53:58 pm »By the Unwritten Book:
Laws are made to be edited.
Laws are made to be edited.
Concrete rules are overrated, so heres a game where they nearly dont exist. This will be a simple Arena RTD, until, that is, every single player gets his chance to mess with it! multiple times! Thats right, as the game continues the rules themselves will be changed by the players, I will roll to see what sort of thing the player can change, and then I will do my best to implement their choice into the game while keeping the game fun. This is extremely experimental and possibly unbalanced, so the rules are open to change. Oh wait, Thats the point!
the few, necessary unchangeable rules:
There will be 8 active players at any given time.
When a person gets the chance to change rules they will roll on the following chart:
Spoiler: RANDOMNESS CHART (click to show/hide)
The stat range is -5 to + 5, because that way not specializing in a stat does not mean you will instantly win or lose.
Which rules cannot be changed cannot be changed.
From this point on, everything is up for grabs!
Health is Chunky Salsa (no Hit points)
The original 8 players get a chance to make changes (all power rolls of 1 will be rerolled)
Anybody who kills someone else gets a chance to change the game.
You can use any item or magic power you create on the turn you create it, everyone else must wait a turn.
Character Creation:
Name:
Appearance:
Stats: must be balanced
Strength
Dexterity
Endurance
Intelligence (used for any magic, might also become useful if battling becomes math based, or some such nonsense.)
Optional: your biography, interests, beliefs, favorite color, anything, but it wont affect gameplay.
Battling will be done similarly to just about every other RTD: roll + stat modifier vs. roll + stat modifier
The arena is a large circular room with concrete floor, walls, and ceiling, about 200 ft. across and 25ft high, all surfaces are smooth.
