Signis - once a world much like our own. No longer. Civilizations rose and fell, knowledge spread...... And then the rapture came. Angels and demons alike came forth and claimed the planet as their own. The world descended into lawlessness and danger. It takes someone special to survive in these times.......

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

This is a freeform game with a difference. Each player writes up the action of the previous player. The following system is used:
   1) A d6 is rolled for a challenge.
   2) Skillpoints are gained or lost (for beneficial skills. for penalties, reverse skill changes):
      1 = failure -2pts
      2 = failure -1pts
      3 = failure
      4 = success
      5 = success +1pts
      6 = success +2pts
   3) Skills can be anything. From 'deft hands' to 'fear of wolves'.
   4) A d20 is rolled for a lethal challenge aka. threat. Appropriate modifiers are applied. An end result of 0 or less results in death.
   5) Ideally 2 challenges and 1 threat per update. Note, challenges may also be threats (see eg, turn 2) Please try and accomodate this into your action for next turn.
   6) Please record the skills of the player at the end of your update in a spoiler.
   7) When updating, make an empty post and modify it. This is to prevent ninjas.
              Do not update for the person who last updated you - this is to prevent bias.
   9) Inspiration credit to King_of_the_Weasels

There are limited places for practical reasons. Please PM me an app if interested, with a character sheet. Overall skill balance to be 0. Try to give the character a motive and backstory, as well as name and description.

For demonstration purposes, I will do the first 2 turns with a character that is entirely skill neutral to start
On your turn, write the update for the last person, and the action for your own character. If it's your first turn, also include an entrance from your character.

He reaches the top, panting, only to find himself surrounded by wild dogs (6/20). He fights well, knocking down all the dogs (2/6). Unfortunately, he recieves a nasty bite on one arm, which limits his motion in it. He sees a town in the distance, over a canyon.

I'll throw you a bone, since it's probably MY fault this is failing.

Name: Wesley King
Description: Medium Height, thin but in an unhealthy way. Dirty dark brown hair. Scraggly beard.
Back story: Wesley never believed in silly things like angels and demons, in fact he still refuses to believe in such nonsense. The world was destroyed by corporate greed and fascists.  Clearly.  These so called angels and demons are nothing more then mutants or woman.

 Skeptic: +2
 Smart ass: +1
 Couch Potato: -1
 Gynophobia: -2
 

I'm going to with hold posting an action until I get a better idea of how I'm suppose to roll the previous turn.

[sjm9876]

Fair play. It's only an experiment anyway.
