DOTH ART WELCOMED TO THE MEDIEVAL FODDER, LAD!

In Medieval Fodder, all you have is DESIRE TO SLAUGHTER!

For the glory of the Empire! Or Republic! Or the Union! Or whatever you're fighting for.

It is RTD which has minimal amount of roleplay, basically only two rolls:

Hit roll, and damage roll.

Damage roll depends entirely on the weapon.

Hit roll (1d6) is more complicated:

The person who wins the roll deals damage to the player who lost the roll.
The roll, however, is modified by actions. Each player can ATTACK or DEFEND in his turn.

DEFEND'ing player doesn't retaliate in the same turn.
DEFEND'ing player gets +1 against ATTACK'ing player, but only if ATTACK'ers roll is higher.
Player who DEFENDS can use that to cover his ally from one attack.

Shields give a bonus to DEFEND'ing player just as if above rule is applied.
Shields benefit the ATTACK'ing player, with a -1 modifier.

WATCH OUT, because the defend/shield bonus will only equalize the rolls - you will never get higher roll than attacker.
The maximum of the Parry bonus is +4; if you rolled a 1 against a 6, sorry - better luck next life!

Example:
Hargh rolls a hit of 6. Phargh rolls a 3.
But, Phargh DEFENDS (+1) and is wielding a Small Shield (+2).
Thus, both rolled a '6', and the whole melee ends with few clanks instead of a gush of blood and pain-filled screaming.

In case of operating a wheel or doing something, a standard 1d6 roll will be applied as well.

THOU ART WHOM?

In Medieval Fodder, no backstories are needed. No multitudes of labels and bonuses.

All you need is:

Name: pretty obvious
Side: which side you fight for (A or B)
Skill: one of the skills, look below
HP: You start with random of 4 to 7 HP*. Rolled by GM.
Weapon: You start with random weapon*. Rolled by GM!
Armor: You start with random armor*. ROLLED BY GM!
Shield: You start with random shield. GUESS WHAT!? YES! ROLLED BY GM!

*-Those are modified (at least partially) by skill you choose!

THY FATHER TAUGHT THEE WHAT?

Skills of the game:

Agile: +1 for Parry/Block rolls.
Axemaster: +1 DMG when holding Hatchets/Axes/Battleaxes. Starts with an random Axe-type weapon.
Bluntmaster: +1 max.DMG when holding Flanged Mace/Morning Star. Starts with a random Blunt-type weapon.
Commander: Starts with weapon of his/her choose. Restricts Armor Roll to Chainmail/Plate Armor.
Healthy: Changes HP roll from 4-7 to 7-10.
Swordmaster: +1 DMG when holding Short/Long/Two-Handed Swords. Starts with a random Sword-type weapon.
Spearmaster: +1 DMG when holding Spear/Halberd. Starts with a random Spear-type weapon.
Two-handed Mastery: +1 DMG and +1 to Parry rolls when using two-handed weapon. Starts with a random two-handed weapon.

THY LEADERSHIP SHALL PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO THE MEN!

Commander can issue 'Commands' instead of attacking/defending (one command per turn, obviously). These commands are:

Command: Rally - Forces Commander's allies to attack/defend choosen target instead of whatever they want to do this turn. Outcome determined by a dice roll:
1: Nothing happens.
2: Like above.
3: One random ally's turn is overriden by Command: Rally.
4: Two random allies' turns are overriden by Command: Rally.
5: All allies' turns are overriden by Command: Rally.
6: Like above.

Command: Inspire - Commander tries to rouse the spirits in his warrior's hearts. Outcome determined by a dice roll:
1: Nothing happens.
2: Like above.
3: One random ally's hit/parry roll will be increased by 1.
4: Two random allies' hit/parry rolls will be increased by 1.
5: All allies' hit/parry rolls will be increased by 1.
6: Like above.

If Commandewr will be attacked during Issuing a Command, he will retaliate as if he ATTACK'ed this turn.

THOU ART ALLOWED UNTO THE ARMORY!

Damage: obvious
AP: Armor points, how much damage is nulified when you get hit.

Swords:
Short sword: 1-handed, 1-4 damage, +1 to Parry/Evade

Blunts:
Flanged Mace: 1-handed, 1-4 damage, 1 point of damage guaranteed to pass through armor.

HEAVENS, THOU ART BLEED- AWW SHIT, HE'S A GONER, GUYS...

If you die, your adventure doesn't end!
Just tell the GM if you want to play again, and you will be tucked right on the bottom of waiting list!
Pick a new name, maybe a new skill, GM will roll equipment, and back into slaughter you go!
This will happen all the way until one of the 'sides' is victorious.

...You're arguing with the GM? Why don't you argue with Jesus about how much Peter liked clams?
Because each player's delicious tears are fuel for the continued torture that is the Warrens of Oric the Awesome.
