Roll to Survive the Game Master's Whimsy
« on: April 11, 2015, 01:51:44 pm »

Roll to Survive the Game Master's Whimsy!!!

One of these days I'm going to make something utterly epic here. I still think I need practice. So...

Roll to Survive the Game Master's Whimsy!

For my practice, I'm starting a six-player RTD called Roll to Survive the Game Master's Whimsy. If you don't know what it's about... check out the title again. You... Roll to Survive the Game Master's Whimsy! And if it wasn't obvious, I am the Game Master.

Semi-Minimalist in comparison to some games... somewhat around the realm of Multiworld Madness' roll system. More or less. You Roll to Survive My Whimsy. I'll be using chunky salsa and my whimsy to calculate damage and whatnot.
And here's the sign up sheet:

Name: Pretty straightforward.
Age: What you might expect.
Gender: And so on.
Appearance: Optional. But you should do it. This describes how your character looks.
Class: And this is the most important bit: your main means of survival. What you choose for this influences the Actives, Passives, and Starting Inventory you get, plus what you get when you Level Up.

If you would like to go against the other players... send me a PM sign up sheet and add the words Fallacy of the other player's existence to the end. I may or may not take you on if you do this, whereas I will definitely take you if you are one of the first six to sign up normally.

Note that this game is governed by my Whimsy. Note that if you happen to be Derm my Whimsy will target you in diabolical manners.

Have fun, and good luck. You'll need it.

Oh, fine. Accepted, but beware of my Whimsy. Might make you an actual cat...  ;)

I'll use this post as the post for characters, dead, and waitlist.

Current Character List:
Name: Blitz
Age: 34
Gender: Male, probably.
Appearance: A pink blob with limbs, wearing what appears to be shoes on it's 'feet'. It has 2 thin, long eyes that somehow shine no matter what at the top right corner and a mouth that leads into...

You can spend up to six extra Charge on this to gain a +1 to damage for each spent. This naturally has a +3 to hit because of its sheer immensity, but you may hit allies also. Firing the Overcharge Cannon means you get a -x/2 to all actions the next turn, where x is the amount of extra charge spent.

Cats generally aren't blobs.
And have necks and a head. And ears.
Which reminds me. Can I edit my sheet a bit?

Name: Nidilap
Age: of Heroes
Gender: Male
Appearance: A sixteen year old lad who found some armor, a Viking helmet, and a sword with "OSHET" on the gaurd. Decided to put em on, and has gone on many adventures.
Class: Tenth.

Nidilap likes Adamantine, Bituminous Coal, Garnets, Cats for their aloofness, Dwarves for their stupidity, and Swords for their Spikes and edges. When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

Go for it, Blitz, but if you make your class too much like Kirby there will probably be an extra mini-boss. Accepted Nidilap. Oh wow, ninjad. So much ninjaing. Accepted poketwo.

Actually, I was just editing his appearance a bit. Needed to make sure he can hear. Might've screwed me over otherwise.

Gm, you seem not as bad rtder as some other newbs that are popping up.

So I hope this rtd is quite excellent, since the last time I tried that character the game had stopped a few updates in. It wasn't an RTD though.
