End of the Fall: A Dragon RTD [Chapter 0: A Summons]
« on: August 16, 2013, 11:48:03 am »

Welcome.  You are a young dragon.

This is going to be a fairly number-lite RTD that emphasizes flow and storytelling.  Minimalistic stats and a world to be shaped by the godlike powers that your characters may one day wield will hopefully make this a game of tales, not of numbers.  It is not designed to be a game that rapidly chews through characters, though you can always run into terrible luck.

Current player limit is 5, for the sake of me keeping up with everything. I may open this up more in the future if I feel like I've got a good handle on it and can deal with some more.

Spoiler: Story (click to show/hide)

The Game.

You begin as a dragon of roughly 40 years of age.  This is quite young for a dragon, and so you are vulnerable and nowhere near as powerful as your parents.  You can choose any one of the listed Dragon Types in the second post.  A note: Dragons in this universe are not reptiles. They are their own class of animals, their closest relations being birds.  They are warm-blooded.  Calling a dragon a "lizard" is a human thing to do and is considered a slur.

Rolls will be done on a d6 per expected.  A 1 is a disastrous failure.  A 6 is an over-effort and can have terrible consequences.  However, plusses to skills can never put you into over-effort.  If you roll a 5 and have a +1 to that skill, it still is effectively a 5.  A roll of 1 with a -1 after is still a 1; there are no 0s.

Final reserved post for character spillover or other things as needed.  Item descriptions if we get a lot of magic artifacts, possibly.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Hurrah!  Also, I encourage you to write down histories and personalities etc. in your own files. It's not in the character sheets because I want the characters to have to explore each other's oddities without player bias, but it's definitely important.

And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

If you choose to, I'll note it down and use it in case of posts like "talk to so and so" to make your responses more IC.  It's not necessary, however.

Ryzhak a Mountain Dragon was an earthy red with black stripes. Unusual for his breed, he was philosphical in nature, if a bit of a bully. His brawniness is unusual for a forty year old however.

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!
