Roll to Somehow Win a Brutal Grimdark Dungeon Crawl
« on: August 17, 2014, 12:46:17 pm »

Non-minimalist! Hooray!

Expect your characters to lost a lot.

YOU ARE FOUR HEROES, THE MOST STEREOTYPICAL ONES IMAGINABLE: THE BEATY-UPPY-PEOPLEY GUY, THE MAGICKY GUY, THE PRIEST GUY, AND THE THIEFY GUY. YOU HAVE TO RETRIEVE THE HOLY GRAIL/SWORD/KING/SHIELD/HELMET/AMULET (OR MAYBE IT WAS THE GRAIL/SWORD/KING/SHIELD/HELMET/AMULET OF RODNEY, I DUNNO) FROM SOME DUNGEON NAMED SOMETHING LIKE "THE MAZES OF MENACE" OR "THE ETERNAL PIT OF DARNATION" OR "THE BAY12 GAMES FORUM" OR SOMETHING. IT WILL BE VERY PAINFUL AND YOU WILL PROBABLY LOST.

BE WARNED THAT THIS IS USING MY OWN RTD RULES, WHICH CALL FOR A D8:


BEATY-UPPY-GUY STARTS WITH EIGHT SMEERPS, PRIESTY GUY STARTS WITH 6 SMEERPS, THIEFY GUY STARTS WITH 4 SMEERPS, MAGICKY GUY STARTS WITH 2 SMEERPS

IF YOU RUN OUT OF SMEERPS YOU LOST AND THE BAD GUYS DEFEAT YOU

CASTING REALITY-BENDING SPELLS IS A 50/50 CHANCE ACTION, ODDS=GOOD/EVENS=BAD, YOU CANNOT HAVE TWO DIFFERENT REALITY-BENDING SPELLS IN EFFECT AT THE SAME TIME OR YOU LOSE ALL SMEERPS

MAGICKY GUY GETS THESE REALITY-BENDING SPELLS:

-AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ALL ENEMIES' ACTIONS 3 FOR 3 TURNS
-AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ALL ENEMIES' ACTIONS 2 FOR 1 TURN
-GIVE ENEMIES SMEERP LOSS ON ANY ROLL FOR 3 TURNS

THEY ALSO GET A LOT OF CASTS OF THINGS LIKE FIREBALL AND LIGHTING BOLT AND COLOR SPRAY AND CHARM PERSON, BECAUSE THEY OFFSET THEIR SMEERP LEVELS

PRIESTY GUY GETS THESE REALITY-BENDING SPELLS:

-AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ALL ACTIONS 4 FOR 3 TURNS
-AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ALL ACTIONS 7 FOR 3 TURNS
-NEGATE SMEERP LOSS FOR ROLLS ABOVE 4, NOT INCLUDING 8

THEY ALSO GET TO CAST CURE LIGHT WOUNDS (RESTORE SINGLE SMEERP) ONCE EVERY TWO TURNS

NOTE THAT NORMAL COMBAT CAN END WITH SMEERP LOSS OR TRADITIONAL ROLL-TO-DODGE KILLING PEOPLE MECHANICS, YOU'D BETTER PRAY TO [insert deity here] THAT YOU ROLL AN UNCANNY STRING OF 5s

THIEFY GUY CAN TAKE 4 WITH TRAPS AND STEALING THINGS AND SOMESUCH BECAUSE THIEFY

GOOD LUCK MY HEROES

OK THEN.

You are all at the entrance of the abandoned halls of Bay12. You must retrieve the, erm, thing (it was either a sword, a shield, a chalice, an amulet, or a king) of Yatod, the legendary king.

WHAT DO?
