Let's build a game system.
« on: February 19, 2015, 03:54:13 pm »

I am curious, what would result if we as a community, built a game system.

Spoiler: Creation Restrictions (click to show/hide)



Mechanic 1: The results of declared actions are a result of a roll of a twenty-sided die.

Amusingly, he's a Marksdwarf, which gives me the mental image of him conducting medical malpractice an appendectomy from fifty paces with a crossbow.
On bay12, a poll option of basically 'nuke the world' named 'Apocalypse Hitler' is like asking an alcoholic if they want some whiskey.
