Roll To Dodge -- Histories of Rooms Upon Rooms

Keep up with it here
Or you can see the action by scrolling down.  But the rules and stuff (and a formatted history) are all there.

Will you be using my "excessively detailed stat system"?
If so, I will play, and my action would be to gain th ability to pass through aluminum at will...
Otherwise I will wait a while to see what it is like and then make a decision to play or not.

I'd like to join this. It's at least semicooperative, right?

Anyway, aluminum is valuable, and I like value, so I try and pull my chains out of the wall.

Perhaps..  If I knew what it was.

I'll join up, another RTD sounds like fun!

I use the sheer force of my will to transform the chains into an awesome sword (which doesn't attach me to the wall).

All generalizations are false....including this one.

In my thread, "Roll to Dodge - Another one?" I started a method of stat exp.
A stat could be anything.
Any related action would improve the stat.
A stat would be displayed like this:
Sleeping||||||||||
With the green bars representing experience, and the red showing experienced remaining for some bonus.

It is surprisingly good at making people specialize in certain actions.

Also, my RTD is a 3D maze :).

That sounds nifty.  Adopted.
For simplicity's sake, I'll only put in a bar for those who actually have any experience in whatever stat is involved.
For bonuses:
In the case of a 6+x, a special "Multiple Overshot" occurs.  Specifics for that will come when it is required.
As for the actual playing field: We haven't explored any of it yet.
There could be all sorts of hidden traps, puzzles, fun stuff...
(My way of saying: I don't design the areas until we reach them)

Four players in, so I'll start it (Still four spots open, late joiners are free to do so, there may be a late bonus or there may not)

Also, I'm not chained any more.  :P

Nope.
Also keep in mind: Updates will not be this fast later -- I have work just like anybody else, and so, even if all turns are placed, it may be some time before I update, depending on the time of day.  Only your first post will count, so if you decide to change, stealthily edit that post before I can see it :P
These stat bars are quite frustrating to make with any speed.
I think I'm going to migrate to a more traditional "Statname: EXP/10; Level LVL" system (of course, it'd still be your system, just an easier way of showing it)

I understand. I won't be going so fast either. It's just the first few hours where everyone is frequently checking the topic.

That was more meant to the others, who'd be checking this topic and seeing all this thinking it's going to be some really fast game that's over before you even knew what happened...
In any case, uh...
FOUR PLAYER SLOTS STILL OPEN!
