ok, now i know this is your game and you are the gm and all, but i REALLY think you are giving away WAAAY too many bonuses. but i guess you are free to do as you wish. you probably have some plan to negate or surpress these bonuses anyways :)

I think the cobblestones will count down to 0, after which all our bonuses will be well accounted for. :)

Oh yeah, forgot to include this:

Swarming:
Swarming is defined as multiple creatures attacking a player in one turn. After the first time a player is attacked, every successive dodge/parry/block roll has a cumulative -1 penalty(so the fifth attack would cause four -1 penalties, of -4. You die, basically).



@Sean: Why else would they be counting down, if not to cause something at the end of the countdown?

Furthermore: 60/15=4

You could have given us a bit more time than 3 turns to prepare though, considering the overall success chances. ;) I'm not complaining though, the chaos and death is where RTD excels, pretty much like DF. :)

 I try to pick up some armor. Despite bleeding, I must make sure nothing else gets to me.

This thread gets the Strife Seal of Selection (S^3) for being the least annoying of the RTD's.

I was actually thinking this. You really ought to avoid giving out +2's or -2's. The reason is that once you have a +2 defense, you cannot fail. At all. If everybody were to get a +2 to their defense, this game would take forever to finish, and quickly become boring.

Just my 2cp.

On the other hand, with swarm tactics rules...  Since consecutive dodge rolls during the same turn become more and more reduced, I suppose even the bonuses can work, as long as they don't go over +3.

We really need defined rulesets for RTD.

Or better, we can make an official ruleset and variations thereof(like my rules, more bonuses but more penalties as well).

I actually like how you, and some of the other RTD mods, are handing out bonuses to specific actions, rather than the blanket bonuses I was using. I think specific bonuses is the direction we should start moving in.

We do this long enough, and we could make our own multiplayer browser based roguelike.  ;D
