Roll to Level Up III is, like its previous incarnations, a semi-minimalist (emphasis on "semi-") RTD in which the only obvious goal is to gain levels, though there are plenty of other things to do. Experience can be obtained by killing monsters (and players!), performing actions, and merely surviving; upon levelling up, new skills, traits, and items can be obtained.

This edition of Roll to Level Up will use a new attribute system I've been working on; the gist of it is that you use Attribute Points to perform superhuman actions. This should hopefully strike a proper balance somewhere between everyone being aggressively mundane and everyone ascending into godhood and destroying the universe, both of which are less-than-ideal outcomes of minimalism.

What is your name?
What is your class?
What is your favourite colour?*

* For waitlisters: There's obviously no way to know what colours will be available when you get in, so don't bother.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Wizard Tower: oh dear
« on: August 29, 2016, 11:32:22 am »
Crof, Wizard of Weather
Trait: Vitality
Achievements:
 - Convinced Octis, the local baron, that you stopped the drought
 - Reclaimed one of your late master's items from his debtors
Items:
 - Robe of Rain: Absorbs nearby raindrops, converting them to mana. (Reclaimed from Baron Octis)
Pupils:
 - none, so far
???

This will be much smaller-scale than Haspen's games, since you're just some random wizard with a tower, rather than the ruler of a kingdom.

Roll To Dodge / Roll to Make Lunch
« on: August 26, 2016, 08:40:08 pm »
You are standing in your kitchen. It is 12 PM, a time more frequently referred to as "noon". It is lunchtime, clearly, but what will your lunch be?

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Arena: rip
« on: July 19, 2016, 12:14:50 pm »


Welcome to the Arena, gladiator!

Whether you're seeking fame, fortune, or death, this is the place to be! You'll have to fight beasts, monsters, and sometimes even other gladiators—all more than capable of killing you—but if you come out on top, unimaginable riches will be yours!

Pokemon Tactics

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

One day, Bulbasaur was sitting in his forest home, admiring the trees.



Wow, thought Bulbasaur. I should really get a job!

So he left his ripped background home and left for the city, carrying his only possession: an Oran Berry.

On his way, he encountered a suspicious-looking Weedle. As Bulbasaur would soon find out, this Weedle was one of the Bug Bandits.



"Hey, you!" said the Weedle, who was known to all as Weedle A. To his friends, the A stood for "Awesome"; to his foes, it stood for "Awful".

"Yeah?"

"Your money or your life!"

"I'm flat broke, actually; I'm trying to find a job."

"Well, give me that Oran Berry you're carrying, then!"

Bulbasaur shed a single tear—he was being held up for his Oran Berry, a heirloom from his late grandfather!

"I'll never give up my Oran Berry!" Bulbasaur shouted, believing himself to be more than a match for his nameless opponent.

"Well, we'll take it from you, then! Along with your life!"

This word—"we'll"—had Bulbasaur quaking in his (nonexistent) boots. If there were more of them, they could be hiding anywhere! In that bush; behind those rocks; across the river—

"They are not." And Bulbasaur knew it was true, for, suddenly, he could see all—



"Wh-What? Who are you? What did you do?"

"I am Yrreb Naro, a slumbering god. As you have chosen to protect me, I will deign to give you my blessing: limited omniscience, known by some as Strategic View!"

"Oh, wow! A blessing? Those bandits don't stand a chance, now!"

"Well, my blessing did not actually make you any stronger, so... You might be better off just running away. If that is what you wish to do, go to those yellow-shaded tiles up north."

"Wow, really? I'm not even any stronger? Your blessing is pretty lame."

"It's better than nothing, which is what you deserve—and what you'll have, if you keep talking back! Now, knock out the bandits or flee north; I care not which! But do not let me fall into their hands, or you will pay in the afterlife!"

DF Gameplay Questions / No water source on map?
« on: April 11, 2016, 10:38:19 pm »
My current embark doesn't have any surface water, and the underground lake doesn't seem to work as a water source. I have an injured dwarf demanding water; how can I get them some?

Roll To Dodge / ROLL TO BAND
« on: March 21, 2016, 08:32:06 pm »
YOU ARE MARCHING BAND.

IT IS BIG PERFORMANCE ON MAIN STREET...

...BUT PEOPLE ARE NOT PAYING VERY MUCH ATTENTION!

YOU ARE NOT DRAWING THE EYE (OR EAR)

YOU JUST AREN'T VERY EXCITING!

TO LIVEN UP THE PERFORMANCE, YOU MUST DO SOMETHING.

BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Forum Games and Roleplaying / [ISG] Journey of a Future Hero
« on: February 18, 2016, 09:48:31 pm »


It's time to set out on an adventure! You might not be much right now, but you're sure that (with work and time, of course) you'll become the greatest hero the world's ever seen!

...Or escape Loserville, at least.Maybe you won't end up the greatest hero the world's ever seen...

Of course, before you leave, you'll want to arm yourself with the passed-down weapon you keep in the chest. Maybe take your meagre possessions from the cabinets, too.
If you aren't in a hurry, you might even visit the market!

What weapon is kept in the chest?

Roll To Dodge / Roll to Kill a Dragon
« on: February 10, 2016, 07:58:26 pm »
You were living out a peaceful life in Not-Under-Attack-By-A-Dragonopolis when, out of nowhere, a dragon attacked! With its green scales and fiery breath, it began to raise the town—but, you resolved, it would never finish doing so! On top of a tall rooftop, you and the dragon met for the first time.

What did you do?

Seriously, at least four-fifths of the threads on my list are eternal zombie threads that I no longer care about. I googled around for a browser extension, but couldn't find anything.

Roll To Dodge / Crumbling Dungeon
« on: January 01, 2016, 01:45:13 pm »
You are an adventurer, and you are currently running for your life! In the middle of the night, you were woken up by a loud rumble—and you found your camp crumbling around you! Fleeing as fast as your feet could take you, you were only able to pick up a single piece of equipment. Eventually, you came to a tall tower. Since the rest of the world had seemingly crumbled away—with the obvious exception of the ground under your feet, though that didn't look like it was going to last long, either—you entered the tower, along with the other survivors.

If you don't want to die—by monster or by bottomless pit—you're going to need to use the tricks of your trade wisely.
