I recently have become addicted to this game and so decided to start one.
The rules

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 There is permanent death, you’re dead with no action unless someone revives you. After each death you have a -1 to being revived again which can accumulate. And no ghost stuff without special GM permission(because someone asked).

You have one free action a turn, which can be used to cross small distances, use objects, pick up objects, hand things over, accept things, talk with NPCs, and explore rooms. You will get one regular action every turn which will result in a die roll 1 to 6 going from critical fail to overshoot.

You will be on a skill level system. With successful usage of a skill you will gain experience: on a four or five +1 exp, on a six +2. After gaining 4 exp you will gain a +1 in that skill, then the exp will reset and be 0/8 for +2, 0/12 for +3, 0/16 for +4, and 0/20 for +5.

When gaining skill in weapons and/or armor you can gain no more than a +2 bonus from their use. The weapon and armor rules will now be as follows. Armor exp will be firts out of 0/10 and 1 exp will be awarded each turn you wear it till you get a +1 then exp will only be awarded from its use in battle which is 0/20. Armor will come in many types so what it is made to defend against is what it will defend against eg blunt, stab, slash, explosion, magical ect. If the armor is not ment for the type of attack then its protection is negated and there is a chance that the armor could be destroyed. Weapons will also go by exp level 0/10 for +1 and 0/20 for +2 but exp will only be gained from successful attacks with them. Weapons fall into attack groups blunt, stab, slash, explosion, and magical ect. Weapons do best againt unarmored opponents doing more damage, followed by opponents using armor which does not defend well against your attack type, and finally attacks were bonus' are blocked by the proper armor and only normal damage registers.

Also there will be no breaking of the universe through ascending into a god, warping space and/or time, affecting dice outcomes, or use of parallel dimensions. Also there will be a difference between skills/magic on other and skills/magic on self (e.g. teleport self and teleport other).

There is a points system where points are awarded to those who figure out references, kill bosses, or defeat other NPC contestants. These points will be held on clickers and can be exchanged for prizes at the end of levels.

This match will start with 5 people if i think that more will be acceptable others may join. There is the chance that should I feel it appropriate there will be a deus ex machina roll which depending on the out come may do good or bad things to the party.

Storyline:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You are in a group of travelers who have all been invited to join in an international/interracial tournament. You all have been given instructions to the volcano/headquarters of the competition “the pit of infinite joy and sunshine”. With your invitation came an easily colored white kilt which is your entrance pass and may be any color you choose. It is said that who so ever that completes the tournament will win both a fabulous prize and a chance to use it in the next tournament in an undisclosed location. It is also said that if you reach the final floor wearing your kilt you will get a small prize.

Damage:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

2 light brusings = 1 light bleeding
2 light bleeding = 1 medium bleeding
2 medium bleedings = 1 heavy bleeding
2 heavy bleedings = death
Bones can be broken in the proper circumstances and you can go strait to any of these levels without going through the others if you get attacked properly. When heavy bleeding is achieved you will get a survival roll to not die but 2 heavies still equals death also pain due to injuries my lower thought based action rolls. Burns make it easier to bleed.

spot 1:inaluct kilt color green
spot 2:Cheeetar kilt color camouflage 
spot 3:Yanlin kilt color transparent
spot 4:neo1096 kilt color is iridescent red
spot 5:Will Foley kilt with yellow and orange stripes
spot 6:Wolfmanz kilt color purple
spot 7:Correleon kilt color light blue
spot 8: penguinofhonor kilt dark green
Watch for more spots.

This should probably be in the Forums Games section.

Anyway, I'll join if I can break the no-ghost rule for brief dramatic moments where I warn fellow players of something or other. Like in Hamlet.

[wehtamjd92]

that could be allowed but how do i move it?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Note: this is not meant as an insult.

A GM must have a better level of the "grammar" skill than yours. I think you need to go chop up some monsters and put some ranks in that skill before you can make a good game.

If you can rewrite your rules paragraph to be readable, maybe I'll believe you're capable of making a good game.

As for moving, either wait for Toady to do it, or edit this one's title to include CLOSED, and start a new one in Forum Games.

[wehtamjd92]

Ok Fixed it and sean I will write all posts in word and fix them before posting to avoid this problem happening again. I understand that I do make mistakes, thank you for bringing that to my attention so now I can stop them before I post.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Alright, that's better, but still can be better. E.g. like this:

Not much done there, some spacing, some punctuation, some articles added.
It's still not perfect, but gets the point across much better, especially the experience part.

When you start doing rolls, make sure to at least add spacing, makes reading walls of text much easier.

[wehtamjd92]

Alright done. Also is this an acceptable lay out for rolls.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Player one: I pick up the sword(free action) and attack the goblin.
Roll (6) You swing the sword around in wild abandon cutting it to ribbons, sadly you also manage to give anyone near you light bleeding.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yep, fine by me. Good luck running your RTD, it can be hell sometimes.

[wehtamjd92]

I get by with a little help from my friends.

[inaluct]

Alright, add me. 

[wehtamjd92]

You're in pick a color.

[Cheeetar]

I'm in, with a camoflauge kilt.

[penguinofhonor]

Huh, I thought you'd have more by now.

My advice would be to wait till the end of the day (or maybe even till tomorrow) before starting impatiently. You'll probably get more people when this gets moved to the right section, as there are always people who want to get in on RTDs. Make sure you have all 5 people. It's more fun with more people, though it's harder on the GM.

I'll join if you can't get enough people in time.

[Yanlin]

Me sure why not. Add me. My kilt color is transparent. I am so evil.

[wehtamjd92]

That you are, but that could lead to awkward circumstances or NPCs not taking you seriously.
