I think that was the old game, the Pit of Magic, where I assembled a public wordlist.

Damn you useless magic rolls!


Enact counter strategy.

[Bigf00t]

As bummed out as I am that Magical Plan Magma didn't smack him in the face/torso, at least it co... kill-blocked him.
...
Now that I think of it, if I fired it at him, and only upgraded the burns on his arm, therefore there couldn't have been much magma, how did it block the whole bridge? Exactly how thin is this bridge? I feel nervous standing on it now

Syvarris, I DID warn you Turns out going for easy souls that day didn't exactly help you much, did it

EXECUTE MAGICAL PLAN: EXECUTE.

PM'ed Tomcost, I updated my character sheets.

Stuff that happens right now on the bridge:
-Successful dodging makes the dodger roll for balance, using dex. This is an absolute roll where standard RTD rules apply.

Stuff that I intend to add once the fight is over:
- -1 to most dex rolls over the bridge.

You are over a bridge over an endless abyss, you should feel terrified, actually

Now, some exposition on game mechanics:

How do I calculate damage with these weir elements like fire and magma?
1) The difference between the dodger's dexterity roll and the other appropiate one is calculated. I call this number "exposure"
2) I select the amount of damage based on the exposure value. The damage is higher in relation to physical damage.
3) I apply special effects, considering the dangerous substance*.

*)How do I differentiate between magma and fire, if they both burn? Well, damage is calculated the same way, but the diference is the distribution of it. With fire, the exposure is distributed along the entire body, prioritizing the torso and arms most of the times. With magma, it is almost completely focused on the part it hits, only burning other parts if the exposure is too much and context allows to do so.

Hey, I have to adapt things so that the game becomes playable. I know that you would get burned by standing near lava, but that takes out some of the fun.

Also:
I don't really care if you do so. The souls of the players are free to be enslaved by whoever they allow to do so.

If you want people to be REALLY terrified, you could put a portal to TVTropes under the bridge.

WHY ARE YOU HELPING HIM!

[Toaster]

Terrible and foul scheming is part of the indoctrination of a Perplexicon GM.

[Bigf00t]

My god, if he DID put the portal there, "SPARTAAAA" kicking someone into the abyss would seem oddly self-referential (You have just been kicked with a common media meme into a website based on disseminating, recording and linking common media memes. Or something). Or have their browser auto-redirect them there. Taunting them. I'd expect one heck of a Big NOoO!

And creating paranoia. But that's more like a PW touch, I think.

I would link a meme here, but that would increase the derail.

Actually, heat from mere proximity to lava isn't all that dangerous.  It's like being near a fire- hot, but just uncomfortably so.  The real danger is the toxic gas that it releases.
