 'In the space where worlds meet there is a gap. No, not a gap. An overlap. Like that bit of a Venn diagram. They have those in your world right? Well, anyway, the void is kind of like that. It's the place where the socks that vanish in the wash go. It's the gap down the back of the sofa. It's the place the bag of holding leads to. Here, anything goes. And I do mean anything.'

This is a fairly lighthearted RTD, whereby the entire game is generated using a Random Adjective Generator. Mechanics will most likely be made up on the spot, depending on the adjectives, but will consist of modifiers applied to d6.
 Taking around 6 characters for now.

Spoiler: Rolls (click to show/hide)

1 = painful level failure. results in pain.
2 = Failed.
3 = Close enough. Maybe.
4 = Success! just.
5 = Success! truly success.
6 = Overshoot. results in pain.

Modifiers cannot take the total over 5, unless applied to a 6. Then god help you.

Name:
Description: This is your appearance, personality, world, whatever. Almost anything goes. It just won't make any difference mechanically.
Perk: Choose an adjective. Try to keep it sane.
Flaw: Choose an adjective. Feel free to over disadvantage yourself.

'As we watch the void a portal pops into being. A rather proper looking young man steps through, looking bashfully around to make sure no one is watching. he steps neatly through the portal as it closes behind him, drawing a worried glance backwards. His gaze is drawn back forwards as a man in a silver foiled jumpsuit bursts out of thin air in a shower of slime. He wipes the visor of his helmet clear, and glances at the other man.
 'Is this Bromulus Beta? Or did I take a wrong turn in that swamp. that's what you're meant to do, right?'
 'Ummm.......,' comes the reply.
 Now, as we watch, a room shimmers into being about them. The floor and walls are covered with tiny holes. A small teddy bear sits in one such hole. now, just let me switch on the mic.
 Testing, testing.
 'The hell?'
 Ah, yes, that works. now where, was I. Or more importantly, where are you? I, the presenter, can answer that! This is the room of SUDDEN MYSTERIOUS CUDDLY. So let the mystery begin!
 The bear leaps down the hole, and pops his head out of the other wall. It sticks it's tongue out at the players.

The darkness that is the void seems to collapse in on itself. it draws closer and closer together, taking the form of a tall, lanky bearded man in a janitor's uniform. He glances around, wise enough not to panic. The he sneers as a rather large and oddly dressed peasant appears in front of him. How..... uncouth.
  Welcome to the POWERFUL ABHORRENT UNNATURAL ROOM! Enjoy you stay!
 Tentacles emerge from the shadows, wrapping together to form barriers. A single eye floats in the middle of the room, glaring with malice as the tentacles twitch towards the players ankles!

[Harry Baldman]

What page in the Unusual Situations Compendium does this remind me of? How can I get out of this POWERFUL ABHORRENT UNNATURAL ROOM?

[Pancaek]

Think of a way to reach the eye. Dance to avoid the tentacles

[Joben]

Leap deferentially away from the tentacles, politely ask the eye if there is anything I can do for it.


Oops

((Ooops.))

"Err hello."

Look down the hole the bear jumped into.

(3+1) And Huang pulls out The Big Book of Knowledge. it tells him this.
 '*cough* Welcome to The Big Book of Knowledge! I am allowed to inform you that the tentacles are part of the eye! May I ask you if you have seen our sponsored post advertising our resort on Sigmus 8?'
 (3) Huang narrowly dodges a tentacle!

Think of a way to reach the eye. Dance to avoid the tentacles

(5+1) At first, there was a beat, then there was a groove. A groove so irresistible even the tentacles start waving to it. Roland boogies his way through the writhing mass until he stands beneath the eye.

"Ah, it's one of the Sigmus 8 Bear people!" Attempt to communicate in the language of the Stalkers of Sigmus 7

(2+1+1[Playing to your weakness? Merely a typo? Who cares!]) A voice rings out into the holes.
 'Um.... hello? My name is Steven. I've met your kind on Sigmus.....8? Anyway, can you take me to your leader?'
 The bear pops it's head out of a hole on the ceiling and speaks.
 'Leader? Um.... well I can't do that. But I suppose you can take yourselves.' he nods towards the wall, where his original hole begins to swell and opens into an archway big enough for a man.

((You are in the other room (of SUDDEN MYSTERIOUS CUDDLINESS!) ))

((Ooops.))

"Err hello."

Look down the hole the bear jumped into.

Basil looks down the hole, only to jump back in surprise as it begins to swell and widen. (5) A swift step back prevents you falling down the emerging slope.
