Welcome to my first Mini RTD!  This RTD is designed to be short and have a defined end time, so that neither the players nor the GM get burnt out.  (In this case- 10 turns.)  If it's successful, I may do more!  Without further ado...

Robo Battle!

Standard RTD rolls, 1-6.  You know the drill.

This RTD is split into two phases:  Construction and Battle!

Spoiler: Construction (click to show/hide)

Over four turns, you will design your robot.  Be creative!  The more descriptive you are, the more accurately I can map your design to your robot.  Roll will determine the effectiveness of your part, causing modifiers to be assigned.  A 1 or 2 will not give you a crappy part, but will veer from your original intent instead.

Turns:

Frame:  The general shape of your robot.  Roughly human in size, though not necessarily shape.  How big/heavy it is, etc.

Weaponry:  The weapon systems of the robot, up to two.

Defenses:  How your robot protects itself.

Refinement:  You can attempt to redo or upgrade any one part.  If you're happy with what you got, you can skip this roll.  Better or worse- new roll sticks!

Spoiler: Battle (click to show/hide)

There will be a four-man bracket, seeded randomly.  All fights last three turns.  Each combat turn, you will submit two actions.  A combat roll is broken down this way:

Initiative roll:  Winner goes first.  Ties are coinflips.

Winner's Action roll:  Execute your action.  Combat damage will be:

Attacker's Roll + 1 - Defender's Roll

All rolls are after modifiers.

It will then repeat for the second action set.

And that's it!

The four of you have been selected to participate in the Great Robo Battle.  The fight is soon, so you must work hard to design your robots...

Construction begins!

Design your robot's frame!  This will determine its health, shape, size, and speed, and maybe some more.  Be creative... and go!

[Dave1004]

I will create my frame out of a solution of mixed Fibreglass and Steel. It'll be light, yet powerful and strong. Try and equip it with a protective energy shield as well.

[fergus]

I will create my frame out of thick, polished steel. Heavy and slow, but very strong.

[GlyphGryph]

Someone should build a large, circular, top-like frame.

[Darvi]

My frame will be made of carbon fibers. Light, durable, fireproof. It will also be streamlined so that attacks can just be deflected by the frame instead of hitting it straight ahead.

[Maxinum McDreich]

posting to watch, soooo gutted I missed out on this.

[Toaster]

If it's popular, I can always rerun this gametype.  It'd be expandable to 8 players fairly easy- just more work on my part and three more turns.

[Digital Hellhound]

I will create my frame out of layers of stainless steel. These will not be arranged for looks - I am aiming for an ugly, stocky box that can withstand anything. It will be painted white, just because I can.

[Tiruin]

Posting to watch too. Seems there is no waitlist but anyway 

[Toaster]

I hope this game won't need one, being ten turns long.


The contestants work long and hard constructing the frames of their robots...

[2]  The fiberglass and steel mix seems to be working, but the time it takes to effectively combine them prevents you from adding the energy shield.  Maybe you can make time for it later.

FiberSteel Frame:  10/10 HP

[1]  Damn!  Your supplier screwed up and sent only half the steel you wanted!  The plates aren't nearly as thick as you wanted.  On the bright side, it's not so heavy that you notice any slowness...

Semi-Thick Steel Frame:  9/9 HP.  +1 resistance to internal damage.

Darvi:

My frame will be made of carbon fibers. Light, durable, fireproof. It will also be streamlined so that attacks can just be deflected by the frame instead of hitting it straight ahead.

[5]  Sleek.  It's the only word to describe the result of your design.  This baby will be great at deflecting attacks drawn at it.  It's fireproof, to boot!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Carbon fiber frame:  9/9 HP.  On a 5 dodge roll, -2 damage as the attack is deflected.  On a 6, -4 damage.   Immune to catching on fire, and -1 to fire damage.

DigitalHellhound:

[5]  Well, you got what you wanted.  Your giant steel box has been created, and it's built like a tank.  It'll be hard to crack this can.  You spraypainted it white for giggles.

Steel Box Frame: 12/12 HP.  +1 to rolls to resist internal damage.

Turn 2: Weaponry!  It's time to design the weapon systems of your robots.  The rules permit a maximum of two weapons.
