So. An introduction
This is going to be an RTD that is loosely based off of multiworld madness, for citations sake here is said RTD -
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=24188.0. The idea of having "multiple worlds" is borrowed (though in a different way) as well as the general lack of restrictions on actions. I am still quite new to running RTDs so I went with a concept that has been proven to have worked and added my own little twist, detailed below.
So. The title says that this is a competitive RTD, let me explain how this is going to work.
Once in world, you guys will find instructions regarding green doors, and instructions to stop or kill anyone attempting to follow through with said instructions with another colour door.
In another forum, somewhere on the web (where I doubt any will find it) there is another group of players who are attempting to complete the same set of instructions relating to the orange doors. You will almost certainly bump into them over the course of your adventure and thus come into conflict with them, in addition to the fact that you will be competing for the prize. While both you and they will know of the existance of another group, neither will be told where they are, or what they are doing or given any more information. As far as you would know, they are just another group of NPCs. There will still be plenty of true NPCs to deal with.
Since the other group is a tiny bit ahead, I'll probably fudge the roles here a little, especially to help you build up a little bit of power.
The setting will vary from fantasy to scifi over the course of the adventure, so try to make a character who has a bit of a generic class you will pick up plenty of weird abilities and powers later.
If you want to play, make and post a character below, a character needs to involve...
Name:
Gender:
Class:
ONE Special power/ability: (subject to my approval/balancing)
Traits: Any special personality traits your character has
NOTE: YOU WILL NOT START WITH ANY WEAPONS/OTHER ITEMS. However there is nothing stopping you attempting to materialize some our of thin air, yes you can do this
HOW A TURN WORKS:
Everybody posts an action, you are allowed ONE action per turn (except actions that take little to no time, I will be final arbitrator on what actions are free, in the event of several actions posted I will use the first one).
After everyone has posted their actions I will roll a six (6) sided dice for each action to decide the results
1 - epic fail
2- fail
3 - basic success
4 - great success
5 - amazing success
6 - overshot, action is success but with drawback for excessive zeal
Actions may have modifiers based on your current state, the environment, how easy the task is and other factors, I will include the modifiers visibly into the dice roll
the three actions currently not allowed are becoming immortal, or a god, or messing with time. this list may expand. ANY OTHER ACTION IS FAIR GAME, though level of success will be determined by me and may require modifiers to have a chance of succeeding.
Permadeath is not in effect at the start of the RTD
OTHER RULES
Inactivity:
If you don't think you are going to be here for a while, let me know and I will NPC you, your character will only perform basic, non game changing actions (if anything) for the period (this is for if you go away). after a few days (lets say two, basically any time after 24 hours when I decide to post another turn) of inactivity you will automatically be NPCed until you post another action again.
DM rule: My word is FINAL, on EVERYTHING. I don't plan to be a megabitch DM but when I need to put my foot down or change the rules around a little for the enjoyment of the many over the few It will be final.
START OF TURN ZERO: To join in, just post a character and your first action and I will include you in the next turn
You wake up in a large, Victorian style bedroom, lying on a huge purple poster bed. a wooden door lies closed against the opposite wall. a small bed stand sits next to the bed with a sealed envelope resting upon it and a chest of drawers lies on its side in front of the door. oil lamps burn at various points around the room.
Edit; I should note, you all have no equipment on you nor any clothes except underwear (for the moment)
(lack of instructions is intended)
