Warning : Beginner GM here! This is my first RTD and I hope I get to learn about GM'ing throughout my time doing this.

Born everyday, Casters are blessed with a choice of what magic they'd like to have within their very palms. Given the opportunity at the age of ten, they are given unlimited choices in which their minds could imagine. Their decision is final, making it a bit more hard to choose. They may want to live the life of a farmer and take Harvest Magic as their choice. Maybe they want to join the valiant and choose re-quip magic as their choice.

You are now born a Caster, congratulations. You will wake up in a random spot in which I will generate with a dice.

Spoiler: Introduction (click to show/hide)

I really don't like talking in first person, so let's wrap this introduction up! This is my first RTD.

Spoiler: This RTD will be using... (click to show/hide)

• The "Roll to Think" system from Sean Mirrsen.
  

  Any character that is not controlled by a player, be it because he is on AI, or insane, or mind-controlled by an NPC, or just about any other reason, will have a roll determine the general aim of his action for the turn. NPCs usually have an aim in mind, but insane NPCs follow this mechanic as well. The roll effects are relative to the players, specifically:
  [1]: The character will do something VERY detrimental to the players. From going on a muderous rampage to destroying something the players need.
  [2]: The character will do something detrimental to the players, and beneficial to him. Attempting to steal someone's item, killing a friendly NPC, pulling a lever that opens the exit and closes the treasure room with all the players, they all go here.
  [3]: The character will do something for himself, without specifically aiming to do anything to anyone. Excercising, gaining skills, picking up equipment, just killing a horde of elves because they happen to be there, all fit here.
  [4]: The character will do something that benefits him and the players both, usually helping in an action or just doing something the rest of the team is doing.
  [5]: The character will do something beneficial to the players most. Finding a hidden button to stop some deathtrap, endangering himself to heal someone, etc.
  [6]: The character will do something good for the team, but will be very excessive in his approach to the problem. Shooting a closed door with a rocket launcher to open it or summoning a nuke to destroy a nearby band of brigands will go here.
  
• The "RTD Standard 1.0 ruleset" from Sean Mirrsen.
  

      The GM (Game Master) posts a situation the players are in. The players then post their actions, according to the conditions GM sets. The GM then rolls for the actions' results, and writes them out in his post. Then the players post actions again, ad infinitum.
  
      The action results are defined by a six-sided die roll:
      [1]: Epic Fail. Your efforts only worsened your situation.
      [2]: Fail. Your skills or luck were insufficient.
      [3]: Meager success: The situation didn't improve by as much as you have intended.
      [4]: Success: Your efforts were sufficient to achieve your goal.
      [5]: Epic Success: Your skills and luck have combined to ensure your success.
      [6]: Overshot: Your efforts were more than required for the goal's completion, and your luck is such that unfortunate side-effects are inevitable.
  
      If at any time something threatens a player, that player may make a roll to avoid the threat.
• The "RTD Advanced Rulings" by Sean Mirrsen.
  

      For each action, any number of rolls may be made, as determined by the GM.
      Primary causes for multiple rolls include, but are not limited to:
  
          * Actions explicitly composed of multiple actions
          * Actions that imply other actions that are not declared free
  
  
      For every dodge roll, any number of additional rolls may be made, as determined by the circumstances, and any skills or special effects applied to the player.
• The "RTD Extended 1.3 Rules" from Sean Mirrsen.
  

      Each successive dodge roll during a turn, unless it is a dodge against the same object or character, will get a -1 bonus.
  
      If you are Stunned, Dazed, or otherwise receive a temporary penalty to overall or individual rolls, this penalty lasts until your next action is resolved, and not through the whole turn.
      If you are Unconscious, whatever penalty you receive will not reduce your roll score below 2, unless stated otherwise.
      If you receive a mortal wound but are not killed outright, you need to pass a roll to dodge Death at the end of every turn. Only bad rolls here will provide penalties to survival rolls.
  
      You can spend your turn to help another player achieve his goal. If your roll is higher, it is taken as the success roll for the action.
      You can also spend your turn to botch another player's action. If your roll is higher, its opposite is taken as the success roll for the action.
      In both cases, individual player rolls determine what happens to the players in the course of the action.

Spoiler: Registration (click to show/hide)

Anything besides the below format will not be accepted. Everything after the ":"'s do not have to be included when posting your registration.
Name : If you fail this part, leave.
Age : This can determine some bonuses/penalties. The younger you are, the more newer you ware to using Magic, inducing statistical penalties in casting magic, but allows for statistical bonuses when using energy. The older you are, the more knowledgeable you are to using Magic, inducing statistical bonuses in casting magic, but giving statistical penalties when using energy.
Type of Magic: The fun part about this RTD. You have an unlimited range, but if it's something "unique", provide a description for specifics. An example of a type of magic that would not need a description is Fire Magic, the ability to manipulate flames, it's specific enough because it doesn't have a ride range of possibilities. However, something like Mechanical Magic would need a description because being a mechanic can mean a lot of things, you could either be a mechanic for foreign objects, or objects that you've already seen worked on before. With this, I will make up certain "evolutions" of that type of magic, in which you can level up throughout your practice with that type of magic. The evolution descriptions will not be given out until you find out what they are. To add on to this, I will also be limiting certain magic capabilities to make them not as overpowered as they should be.

The Player list is full!

[Lytia]

Updated Front Page.


Changed some of your magic, the reasons are listed below:

Sound -> Echolocation Magic : Sound is very powerful when you know how to use it. I had to nerf your capabilities.
Lightning Magic : Controlling the flow of lightning would allow for a lot of destruction. That's a no no.
Curses -> Disease Magic : The magic's idea was too broad, giving it an immense selection of powers.
Boundaries (Metaphysical) -> Boundary Magic : Yeah, become a meta-physician is not something I'd want to happen in such an early period of the game. It could be an evolution.
Earth Magic : I only limited you to the selection of materials you can manipulate.


The first post will be posted soon!

[Dermonster]

I justify it by being around for longer than recorded history.

*Views my front page status* Well shit. Time to get creative with my wording.

[GMArian]

Name: Arian
Age: 25 (In the prime)
Type of Magic: Hyper-intuitive aptitude

[blazing glory]

Will it be possible to change whatever magic we have? Because I'm not exactly going to be happy with Disease Magic.

[Lyeos]

Name: Lilian Klein
Age: 22
Magic: Blood, or, more specifically, shaping blood. Shaping the blood in another living being would require high-tier magic, blood from recently deceased things or splatters on the ground is significantly easier. Capable of using own blood, but requires a cut on the body, and using it for anything large isn't viable, for obvious reasons. If that's not gonna be allowed, I dunno, Ice? Ice is pretty nice.

I just realized it looks like I'm copying TWoOtA. In a way. Dang it. I want this though.
Oh, and welcome to the forums!
Don't worry, we're only mildly insane down here.

[blazing glory]

Also my current abilities seem rather useless,what are the chances that I'm going to fight someone who has a disease?
