Okay, so I recently went back to the TvTropes forums, just to check out what's happened while I was gone, and I noticed a game I had a lot of fun in had been rebooted.
That game was 'Enter the Arena as your Avatar'. And to be honest, it was a pretty fun thing to be a part of. SO, I was thinking I could bring it over here. But I wasn't sure if it would fit better as an RTD adapted to fit the style, or as a general Forum Game, as the original was. If it were to stay a general Forum Game, it would end up being play-by-post, with no dice rolling done, and it being more of an RP, really. Someone tries to attack, the other person says whether it hits or not.
But if it were an RTD, it would end up being a bit different. It could go one of two way: It could be an Arena-Style game, or a game more related to mall fight, in which a group of people keep respawning indefinitely, and it's more of an adventure/RP, but with dice rolls.
In either case, a character sheet would basically just detail the character your avatar is, like so:
Name: Monokuma/Monobear
Occupation: Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy(?)
Stats:
Agility: 5
Strength: 2
Intelligence: 8
Moxie: 6
Toughness: 4
Special Skills:
Post-Mortem Bombing Mechanism: Upon death, Monokuma will explode, possibly doing damage to the one who killed him.
Self-Destruct: Monokuma can explode in a firey ball of death at any time, killing himself, but doing damage to anyone around him. However, if the explosion manages to kill someone, his own death does not count. (3 Turn Cooldown)
Description: (I dun wanna go into detail here because this is a goddamn example)
For the Stats, players get 25 points to distribute through the different ones.
0 in any stat mean a -2 to all rolls with it.
1 means a 50% chance of -2 and 100% chance of -1
2 is a -1.
3 is a 50% chance of -1
4 is no bonus or negative.
5 is a 50% chance of +1
6 is a +1
7 is a +1 with 50% chance of +2
8 is +2
And so on.
These stats aren't what decide everything, though. Like, if someone were to try and Follow someone else, or open a door, a normal roll without bonuses would be done. However, if one were to try to climb a rope, Strength would be a factor, or if they needed to make a sarcastic comment or persuade someone to do something, then they'd use Moxie to alter it.
For the Special Skills, Green skills are passive, and Blue Skills are ones you need to activate. You can choose either 2 Passives, 2 Actives, or 1 Active and 1 Passive. You make the skills yourself, just try to make them similar to ones the character would have.
There would be various pop-culture-centric bosses, after which, the arena will change, if one goes for the Free Roam w/ Respawn game type.
Would anyone be interested in this? Or should it go to the General Forum Games and Roleplaying section?
