Roll to Be Doomed
« on: Today at 08:08:29 pm »

Time for a Halloweeny October game!

A horrible curse falls over the Kingdom of Light. The evil Lich King has cursed each and every inhabitant with a prophesied death! One that comes sooner than normal, that is. Unfortunately you are one such cursed soul. Your date with death is sealed, but perhaps you can use what time you have left to defeat the Evil Lich and save the Kingdom, and yourself!


Rules

Upon character creation your character will have 1d6 turns left to live. 1 turn is 1 day. No matter how well you roll, you will die when your date with date comes up. Or sooner!

You get 3 rolls per turn. This includes rolling for proactive actions like exploring or crafting items and reactive actions like defending yourself. Once you've used your rolls, you won't perform any additional actions and you won't protect yourself!

The game ends when the Lich King is vanquished, or on Halloween, when the Kingdom of Light will be swallowed forever!

Updates nightly in the evening EST. Remember to post! If no action is posted, your character is safe for the turn but you still lose a turn of life.

There's no limit on players, and you may make a new character immediately after death.

Use the character sheet:

Please post your updated sheet with your action. Since I have to post from phone right now, it help a lot!

Monsters have their own attack and defend stats, which act as a malus to your own roll.

These are the roll results when defending:
6+: No negative effects.
5: You immediately counterattack, without using one of your rolls.
4: No negative effects.
3: You have a negative reroll on your next roll.
2: You lose a point in in a random rolling skill.
1: You lose a day of life. More is lost on a worse roll than 1.

These are the roll results when attacking:
6: The monster is slain.
5: The monster is slain and you get loot.
4, 3 or 2: Next time you roll this the monster is slain.
1: The monster immediately counterattacks!
