The Wacky death Races have always been very popular. They sponsored hundreds of new things and have an almost complete control of the economy. Now advanced genetic manipulation, new technologies and other spectacular feats of science will be showcased in a new tournament. Hundred of racers have come from across the spacetime continuum to join in the carnage. New in the series is the idea of simultanous races amongst multiple planets, allowing the WDR to transmit 25 hours a day. 

Spoiler: Building your vehicle (click to show/hide)

Wacky Death races is a game where the first few turns are spend designing and building your vehicles piece by piece. This is a list with the layout of the first turns. Rolls marked with a * are mandatory. Feel free to switch the other rolls around.( Ie you can roll a weapon in a defense system turn. And reroll anytime you like)
Turn 1:
-*Form: What shape is your vehicle. Is it a boat, Is it a dinosaur? Is it something else. This will determine a special ability(Hint: Give me hints what you want)
-*Powercore: Most actions require power, be it firing weapons or racing. Tell me what you want your core to do: More storage or faster energy production. Stable production or dice roll. More health or more power?
-*Engine: This will determine how fast you go, and what your arceleration speed is. There are 3 stats: Power use, Arceleration, and max speed.

Turn2
-Weaponry: This a death race afterall. Weapons have a range, accuracy and damage stat as well as an energy use and/or ammo counter (ammo is stored inside the weapon)
-Weaponry:
-Weaponry:

Turn3
-Defense systems: Wherether you defend your ship with shields, armor or by moving out of the way of incoming bullets, you need something to prevent you from turning into a fireball.
-Defense systems:

Turn4
-Special : Invisibility cloack, oil, sabotage , boosters, boarding teams, orbital death cannons,... The world is your oyster.

Turn5:
-Reroll: For when you failed a critical roll. Can also be used to add extra weapons and such.

Spoiler: Modules and health (click to show/hide)

Every module has 30 hp, except for the power core which has 30. Damages reduce the funcitoning of this module. Repairing damage happens between races or in pitstops and costs 50 per hp point.
Temporary repairs are free and can be done at any time, but last only one race.
0:Destroyed
1-4: Nonfunctionall
5-8: 25%
8-11:50%
11-15:75%
15-20:100%

Spoiler: The Race (click to show/hide)

The race is divided into segments, with one or more important things happening in each segment. Each turn all players move one segment forward. Insegment location is mesured by the location of the camera car. This car moves forward 20 tiles/turn and is always in the middle(ie 50). If you move slower then the car you migh fall back. Move faster and you move ahead. Possible map.

Player A:96
Player B:75
Player C:60
Camera car: 50
player D:31
Player E:11

Player A has a speed of 26. This means that he will move ahead next turn. Ending up on (96+(26-20)-100= 2) in the next segment, one segment in front of all other players. Player E speed is 6. He will fall back and end up staying in the same segment while everyone else moves forward.

Spoiler: Possible actions(1/turn) (click to show/hide)

-Agressive driving (-2 to dodge, arceleration bonus)
-Normal driving
-Defensive driving(+2 to dodge, no arceleration)
-Fire weapons(Driving is normal)
-Repair( Patchup. Driving is normal)
-Search( Look for ammunition for weaponry. Driving is normal)
-True repair(Driving normal. During the repair the part that is being repaired is offline.)
-Ram( Hit someone, need to be within 10 tiles that turn, ramming can result in damage and speed loss for both parties)
-Brake and ram: Special technique where the first person brakes in front of the second, causing a collision which will harm the second party if properly executed. (Second gets -2 to dodge)
-Power Saving mode: Doubles power regeneration: -1 to all rolls, no arceleration
-Other: When I think of them.

Spoiler:  Federation circuit (click to show/hide)

Federation Circuit
This old and prestigious circuit has long seen it's best time. Most of the road is in really bad shape, and everything is falling apart. It was declared unfit for racing several years ago, and therefore has been bought and repurposed by the WDR conglomerate.

Section 1: Start. Broad and clear of debris. Optionall pitstop (Requires complete stop, allows repairs and refueling).
Land vehicles can try to arcelerate quickly on this section. Requires a dodge or armor roll of 3 to avoid driving into something. Gains you 10 speed.

Section 2: The bridge: This magnificent hover bridge used to be the pride of the circuit. Now it's falling apart. ( 2 ways: the bridge or the pylons).
-The pylons: Requires a dodge roll. 4 or more needed. (Failure= Fallback). Unable to be hit by anyone on the bridge.
-Bridge: Use the bridge like normal people do. Sadly it's quite unstable, and being attacked on this section might cause it to collapse [20/20]
-Boats can try to cross the water. This require a dodge roll of 3 or more.

Section 3: The canyon.
-You are unable to pass each other in this section.
-Boarded of section: Leads to the armory. Players can attempt to drive through or blow it up [40/40 hp]
-Airplanes can fly over this section. They can pass others.

Section 4: The caves: Requires a 4 dodge or armor roll or better to avoid the stalactites.(Failure=Damage)
-Boats can try to use the river currents to gain 5 extra speed. This does mean they have to roll a dodge or armor roll of 5(Min). (Failure= Damage)

Section 5: The jump: There used to be a bridge here, but is long since gone. The WDR instead replaced it with a ramp and some anti aircraft turrets. Again there are 2 ways here.
The maintenance way: Slowly decend the cliff, this way will cut your speed by 20% but is perfectly safe.
The jump: Jumping is no problem, but failing to arcelerate will result in plunging your nose into the ground or getting hit by the AA.
Dive: Airplanes can dive to gain 5 extra speed. They need to get a dodge roll of 4 or better to avoid plunging into the ground though.

[adwarf]

Player name: adwarf
Cash: 500
Vehicle name: The Destructor
Bio:
First action:
Form: Mustang (Car not horse): The Destructor was expanded from the Mustang, it was built for pure speed, and agility while totting light weaponry in combat for hit & run tactics.
Powercore: More Power Production, dice roll, more power
Engine: High MAX SPEED is NEEDED

[Tiruin]

Player name: Tyrin Ferric
Cash: 500
Vehicle name: Banshee
Bio: Tyrin was always interested in technology, and as of late, mythology. Venturing across the Timeline, and arriving in this particular era to race once more, he hopes to bring the marvels of mankind to bear. This place was about to meet the future; as far as the future he knew of.

He was a previous competitor in the past WDR, ashamed of his ponderousness, and that he let his friends down, he vows to fix all his mistakes with this one Race. For sure, this one will make it. The design of the old Valkyrie was not to fit his current ideals, technology was not good enough for innovation, it seems.

First action:
-*Form: The Banshee was constructed to be a craft made of titanium, metal and archaic bronze. Hover fans, along the aft and below the fore to help suspension and easy maneuvering. Double wings on each flank to carry weaponry and aid in aerial movement. An Aircraft, to say bluntly.
-*Powercore: Several solar panels are embedded on where the wings would be (four wings to be exact, two on each side and parallel to each other vertically). As solar power has been deigned unreliable at night, it has a back-up generator that runs on Hydrogen in the air and the precise octane bonds in Gasoline; in short: It runs on both gasoline and air-- air being a last reserve backup if anything fails. [Stable Production ; More Storage ; More Power]
-*Engine: [Focus: Acceleration - First priority ;  Power - Second priority ; Max Speed - Third priority]

Back in this.

((Will this be race by PM like last time? And...three other circuits missing a GM, so this is custom made for three others?  ))

[10ebbor10]

The things next to the roll objects are only suggestions. You can exchange for faster regeneration too, for example.
I think we'll go by PM, for various reasons.
As for the circuits missing Gm's, that really depends on how much potential players I get and if I find a co-GM somewhere. In the optimal case then there will be 4 simultanous races, but I highly doubt that. That reminds me of the fact that I have to write out all the rules . I'll do that later.

Also adwarf, Is there anything special about your car( Hint: Give me a hint for a potential ability. This can be pretty much anything, strength depends on d6 afterall).

Added a descriptor beside the form

Vehicle name: Starhopper
Bio: After failing to win the last race, Jack decided to enter again. This time with a slightly more weapon-based vehicle.
First action:
-*Form: Ripsaw, basically a really fast tank on treads.
-*Powercore: Hydrogen, synthesysed directly from the air with a mechanism in the engine.
-*Engine: Power- First. Acceleration- Second. Max Speed- Third.

So your powercore is a high regeneration one. Or something else. As for the tank, do you want something special (Ie a special vehicle based build in attack) or do you just want extra armor.

[Scelly9]

Extra armor. And the power source sounds fine.

[Maxinum McDreich]

Player name: Connor Hasbin
Cash: 500
Vehicle name: The Armadillo MK2
Bio: The Armadillo failed to perform quite as Connor had hoped, but had done a decent enough job. This time, he's perfecting the idea on land only, and vastly different weaponry as a result. But the principle remains the same; Drive steadily and stop for noone and watch his rivals fall to whatever the heck is happening. Still uses old technology though. Losing a race doesn't exactly give you money.
First action:
-Form: Tank, more or less. Heavily armoured, slow, doesn't stop for anything, increased power consumption to race.
-Powercore. Hydrogen (Bought technology, but Connor only got the old model, keeping in-race production low) More Storage. Stable Production. More Power.
-Engine. Internal Combustion. First: Acceleration. Second: Power. Third: Max Speed.

[10ebbor10]

Seems good to me.

I reworked the Federation circuit.

[monk12]

Name: Sky King
Cash: 500
Vehicle Name: Cincinnati
Bio: Having won the first Death Race, Monk changed his name to Sky King, and now seeks to add a new moniker- Horse Lord!

First Action:

Form- The Sky King builds a jet black robotic rocket-powered horse! All the mass and beauty of a Mustang (the horse, not the car) combined with the speed and maneuverability of a motorcycle. A jet booster is available for quick bursts of speed and limited flight capacity!

Powercore- Whereas the Zephyr Cathedral ran on old-school technology, the Cincinnati runs on the most bleeding edge sources of atomic energy. The Powercore provides a balance between regeneration and storage, unstable energy production with a possibility for sudden high gains, and an emphasis on MORE POWER!

Engine- The engine that powers the massive metal hooves of the Cincinnati is optimized to favor High Acceleration, with second priority going to Power and third to Max Speed


This is all based on my hazy recollections of a toy I had when I was like eight year old. Man that thing was cool looking.

[Dariush]

Player name: Dariush the Mad_der
Cash: 500
Vehicle name: WorldConq II Mk.1
Bio: FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU THEY SHALL PAY OH YES THEY SHALL PAY!!!
First action:
-Form: pitch-black, armored aircraft. Menaces with menacing spikes, metal dragon heads, serrated discs, smoke-spewing geysers and stuff. Due to terrifying all enemies gives +1 to dodge by default.
-Powercore: the same, but much improved nuclear core from previous WorldConq. Almost no storage, fast and stable production, more power.
-Engine: Unobtanium propelling the aircraft when heated and directed out. May be used as a weapon (as a separate roll, obviously). First: speed. Second: power. Third: acceleration.

BTW, to prevent voting from alts, I suggest ditching the idea 'votes give you money'.

Ok. I'll increase the winning player bonusses a bit then.

[Tiruin]

Then everyone kills monk.
