Hello There, Welcome to Silent Hill RTD. This will be my first ever RTD so please bear with me.

Spoiler: Backstory (click to show/hide)

 You don't know how. you don't know why. But what you do know is you, and four other people have arrived in this town..if you could call it that. It seem's abandoned, and a heavy fog blankets it. All you remember is you were taking your usual drive, when you noticed a detour sign, as well as the road ahead of you being blocked. You thought nothing of it at the time and took the detour. After driving for awhile, something...just jumped out of nowhere. You swerved, and crashed. You awoke here, in this diner, with four other's.

Did I do this correctly? 

[Grimmjow6th]

Yes i do believe you did that right. Can others let me know if i should just forego the stats though?
Also, as a pianist, add 2 to your agility.

[NRDL]

Eh, depends if roles are really going to depend on the physical and mental fitness of characters.  I suppose, since this is Silent Hill, you need mental stats to determine your sanity. 

[Grimmjow6th]

Well the way i see it, not everyone is gonna see the small key situated on the dresser. And not everyones gonna have the strength to move large pieces of rubble.

Ah okay.  My guy sucks at both of that 


EDIT: Also, added 2 agility without taking from any other stat.  Done.

[Grimmjow6th]

The idea of having stats is fine, but for your sake, I suggest minimizing the amount of things you have to keep track of. 1-2 stats for physical abilities, 1-2 stats for mental ability and possibly something to keep track of sanity, but you could just roleplay that bit by having the characters hands shake/vision blur/have headaches/start having minor hallucinations etc. That would also get the players sucked in more as well and help form a bond to their character.

You don't really need to go in depth for good gameplay in an RTD and having less things to maintain is good for both players and GM. Also, if you really want to minimize the load on yourself, then maybe you should try having the players maintain their own status in their posts, like the Sky Tower RTD? That seems real interesting and as far as I have seen, it does look like it works as long as players stay honest.

That is a wonderful idea Zako. Allow me to edit then.

Edit:hmm. that seems much tidier i do believe. Like i said originally, first time running so help is much appreciated.

In his truck, he had a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun, a lever-action .30-30, a bolt-action .30-06, and for handguns, a .44-Magnum and a .45 Colt M1911, and plenty of ammo for all.

Correct, Zako is. Depthness doesn't matter unless people have fun doing it. Sky Tower is an amazing RTD, and from my own experience as a GM, as long as the RTD is fun and the players have a goal to do, then it will succeed.

[Talarion]

Interested, definitely. Working on a sheet.

Since i didn't explain it properly, the [points=00/10] are bonus points to go into your skills. Im sorry if i didn't explain this correctly.

[Tiruin]

Could you edit the OP. It seems that we're missing some essential pieces of the character sheet...
