((End.  I have two pool, have done a two word action, and ended the turn 1/2.))

Except that with two pool and two words, it doesn't matter. Start with 2 pool from last turn. If you gain pool at the beginning, you have 3 before casting,

Except you wouldn't have three because your max is two.  If you're trying to sneak in one more word than you have the ability to say, it's not going to work.

I was going to say that this could still work if you assume the point goes directly into your spell, but yeah, then you'd be able to say words one longer than your pool without an explicit restriction.

So yeah, it's probably the end.

[Person]

It's the end. I got a pm confirming this.

((I absolutely love this game. When- more like if- it winds down, I'd love to see the list of effects each word has (not necessarily the words, just all the meanings) and run this locally with my friends.))

"Ow. I can't even make a useful toothpick..."
If anyone tries to attack, hit them with my hitting stick.

This. I don't know many people but someone I know has a group I think would like this. I think the diplomacy would be interesting, especially if people still could keep their spells secret.

[Unholy_Pariah]

just write them down and hand the gm your words directly or use instant messaging software like windows live.

What i wanna know is how many of the words have healing effects.

What i wanna know is how many of the words have healing effects.

I'm willing to bet that there's multiple ways to heal. Some things that might work if found and used properly are: Flesh, Life, Energy, Radiation, and any number of solid things to replace lost body parts. This is all speculation of course. Some will probably work better than others. Possible suggestion for the game: Ability to spend points gained from killing to heal yourself.

"Five feet of fun... Shocking, isn't it? Now how to pick it up... My rubber hand's no good, but hopefully someone will find a spell to make flesh sooner or later. In the meantime, let's see about making a shock-proof hand that actually moves."

If nobody tries to attack me, then use Phrase A. If someone does try to attack me, then use Phrase B.

((This is honestly the most fun I've had in an RtD. And I haven't even gotten to really zap anyone yet))

[pot:5]

A pair of human arms, complete from roughly the shoulder down, and made out of solid rubber, drop to the ground in front of you. Well...thats a thing.

((I'm having fun))

Adam mine throwing a spear while picturing a spear being throwed at Yurf saying "wood release: Longinus GWP"

"Gah, shit."
Yurf peered at his foot. This wasn't going well. With a yell he lunged at his opponent, swinging one large fist at him!

>Charge the guy and punch him hard in the jaw. Launch myself off my non-wooden foot so I don't end up falling over.

>Once I (hopefully) hit/stun/knock him down, grab him by the throat and begin to strangle whilst simultaneously bashing the back of his head on the floor!

"Turn me foot inta wood, will yer?! Gonna... Crack ya skull... Like a ripe... Melon!"


((Edited this a bit.
As for comments, this magic system seems very fresh and fun. Usually I avoid magic-based games, and obviously I'm not playing much of a mage here either, but I actually find the system here interesting.))

[adam dex:4]
[Yurf dex:1]
[adam pot:1+1]
Adam yells his word as Yurf clops toward him. A tiny sliver of wood drops onto Yurf's head. He doesn't seem too bothered by it.
[yurf dex;6]
[adam dex:1]
[yurf str:5]
[adam end:2]
Yurf clocks adam in the face with his good fist and leaps on top of the downed man, strangling him and bashing him against the ground with his one hand.
[yurf str:5]
[adam end:4]
Despite repeated blows to the head and an annoying lack of oxygen Adam remains conscious and struggling.

((Oh yes, quite fun. Moreso now that I'm not dying every other turn, but that was quite entertaining as well (if only I'd finished that fool off... ).))

Bide my time.

You tap your foot and wait for your cosmic batteries to refill.

((Again, hell yes I am.  It's got the right combination of puzzle and action to make you eagerly anticipate the next action.  Also, your quick update style helps it not get stale.))

Thrakor peers about.  Looks like no one's actively trying to kill him.

Back to testing!

Magic Plan 8675309!

[pot:3+1]
You feel a sudden pain in your right arm arm and look down to see strange black designs coiling up your forearm, living tattoos moving from your shoulder down to your wrist. In the center of your forearm, surrounded by the tangle of intricate lines, is a circle. Inside that circle a strange symbol glows a sort of dull gold and then dims.

"Maybe peace isn't that far off, not total peace mind you. What's the point of magic without test subjects, eh?"

Call out Generic.

((This could end really badly. If I accidentally kill anyone with this, know that it was not intentional. Your death was in the name of science.))

(hey, is there any reason you keep emailing me these rather then just telling me them through pm?)
[pot:4+1]
Thrakor shimmers for a moment, shimmers in an odd way, you can't quite put your finger on, but nothing seems to happen.

((I absolutely love this game. When- more like if- it winds down, I'd love to see the list of effects each word has (not necessarily the words, just all the meanings) and run this locally with my friends.))

"Ow. I can't even make a useful toothpick..."
If anyone tries to attack, hit them with my hitting stick.

No one appears to be trying to murder you to death, so you just sit and wait.

[scapheap]

Adam will push Yurf off and then yell GWP at him while thrusting his arm at Yurf

[Onyxjew944]

((Didn't even notice I was. I'll check for it next time.))

"That was.... anticlimactic."

Shrug and play with something else. Generic.

((Damn, I was kind of hoping for something a little more murderous or at least interesting. But I guess not all spells end in fire and brimstone.

I think you asked for opinions on the RTD, Piecewise? Loving it. The possibilities for innovation are endless once your vocabulary is built, and !!science!! is always fun.

Edit: Am I the only one who wants to kill the two that are fighting? It kind of feels like the combat is taking too long and a well-placed blast of fire would really speed things along.

Personal greed isn't really helping that decision.))

[Tsuchigumo550]

Point at Yurf, and INITIATE PLAN SCIENCE!
((Don't panic. Unless things go horribly wrong this might help.))

[Toaster]

The hell is that?  Well, one way to find out!

Push the button!

[Person]

Point at yurf and their combat partner. Kallth Donth!

[scapheap]

((Whelp Adam doomed))

[Onyxjew944]

Point at yurf and their combat partner. Kallth Donth!

((I'm not alone! -claps like a child- I think this should become a thing. Murder any group of people who start fighting. Primal instincts are right sometimes. Kill the weakest members of the pack at their most vulnerable. I'm probably going to regret starting this, should it take hold.

Fun.))

[Tsuchigumo550]

((I tried to SAVE him from falling from the push. Then everyone... jumped in. Actually we should clusterfuck our spells on a single point and see what happens.))
