You should make a GM version of this too. Players asking for updates when their GM goes missing.I think I'll be subject to many requests from this.
If you have and he hasn't responded...check my sig.I've started writing the turn, but Person still needs to post his action, hopefully he does so soon.Did you PM him?
Everyone gets a crowbar.
Finnish Sniper Simo Hayha has arrived in response to the H.O.E.S call to arms!(Norse bros? Norse bros.)
(If you can' tell, it's really late and I can't be bothered to make a full out roleplaying scene)

go to the street and try to sell the book for a halberd or money(You do realize there's almost no one left alive in the town, right?)
Honestly, I think part of the problem with transformations is that most RTD's let them happen too quickly and don't make them all that special. As-is, they're basically somewhat randomized buffs or nerfs that you know most of what you need to know about as soon as they happen.This is reminding me too much of District 9.
Nah, if a mage botched a spell, and it's causing him to transform, don't just tell him that he grows wings. Instead, mention worsening back pain for a few turns, and if he checks for a possible cause, he finds loose flaps of skin that ache horribly. His armor grows increasingly tight, and at one point when he takes it off, there's a ripping noise as partially grown wings tear through the back of his shirt. Of course, they aren't usable right away, and even once they finish growing, he'll need practice to use them at all.
And what's to say that's the end of the transformation? Perhaps he starts growing scales next, and proceeds to turn into a dragon. Also, don't forget that mental transformations can be a thing as well... while he's turning into a dragon, he might be more and more attracted to gold or other valuable stuff... to the point where he has to actively try to resist taking such things for himself.
Of course, the relative rolls should probably be hidden for maximum paranoia.
But yeah, if you can't tell by the above, it'd be cool seeing more generic fantasy RTD's. I'd love something more RP based like the fortress of blood one that Dwarmin ran for a while, but that'd be a lot harder on the GM.
He means physical changes - often the complete change of somebody's form. For instance, you start out as a human, but you become something else in the process of the game, say, a metallic giant or the old favorite, a dragon. Or maybe just have extra arms or eyes added.They can also be unfortunate. Such as - you gain the strength of a dragon! Your arm are now dragon sized and you are unable to move them due to lacking sufficient shoulder muscles.
