Yeah, but that's a purposeful death. Totally different.  :P Besides, if this is like Perplexicon: The New Age, you can still fail miserably on casting if the dice hate you.

Yay, another Perplexicon!

Name: Derm
Appearance: I put on my robe and wizard hat.
Background: Totally not an imposter

STR - 1
DEX - 3
SPD - 3
END - 1
WIL - 1
POT - 9

You have 1 more point.

Edit: Now that I thought about it some more, 19 points might be a bit too much. If you guys think so as well, I'll lower the starting amount to 10. Or 12.
He changed it already. And 19 is fine. It's fun. More murder, less accidental death from botched rolls.
No matter how much I count it's still 18.

More points does mean there will be no lung kittens though.

And to answer your question, Derm - you guys decide whether you want 19, 12 or 10.

Can we choose our point amounts on an individual basis?  :P

Nope. It's a vote thing.

So far I have 3 for keeping it at 19, and 1 for 15.

Edit: 19 points at start stays, it seems. Going to sleep now. Turn 0 coming in ~16h. Should be 8 players by then.

There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

Perplexicon: A New Arena (Caution! Newbie GM): It has begun!
« Reply #27 on: September 11, 2014, 03:12:42 pm »

Turn 0

Everyone

You all awaken in a place you don't recognize.

Derm, Derm

You get up and find yourself in a large, circular room. There appear to be two levels in here. Above you, you see a small platform, somehow not breaking off the bridge leading to it, even though there are no pillars supporting its weight. There appears to be a staircase up to the west, a hallway leading south - you can feel the heat radiating from that direction, which is thankfully dissipated by periodical gusts of wind from the eastern hallway. After looking at the area around you, you finally notice yourself. Wait, what?

Beirus, Hregar

You pick yourself off the warm stone you were lying on. You seem to be in some sort of cavern and it's pretty damn hot in here. Apparently you've been napping right next to a lava pool and managed to not burn yourself to death somehow. It looks like there is one exit out of here, to the north. Hopefully it's cooler over there. Finishing looking around you see someone on the other side of the cavern.

Thrakor, Varee

You stand up from the cold ground and notice that you're in a mostly dead forest. The trees are withered and the ground is devoid of grass. Apart from the cool wind and two exits - one to the west, leading to some kind of structure, and the second one to the south - there is nothing of interest here. Well, maybe with the exception of that guy over there.

Stanislauss Y. Hurt, Simon

You rise from the ground and find yourself inside a small cavern. Looks like a pretty normal cave, aside from the GIANT GODDAMN HOLE in the ground that you nearly fell into while getting up. You see an exit to the north, from which you see some light, and a ladder to the west. On the opposite side of the GIANT GODDAMN HOLE you spy a man, who also just got up.

Thrakor looks around.  Why does this seem familiar?

"I think we're in one of THOSE again."

Why not start with some SCIENCE?
