[Urist Arrhenius]

Dominic Dunnely, Baron of Tradebridge, has had trouble with his peasants after a harsh winter. In his rage burnt both village and field, leaving an entire population destitute, and with nothing to lose. This rabble took up arms, such as were available, and started a rebellion so clumsy, it could only be described as a Rabbellion.

Spoiler: Intro and Gameplay (click to show/hide)

This game is inspired in part by a game that used to be on here, Defense of Valorand by Nirur Torir, but I plan to take it in different directions. Basic concept: losing individual encounters makes you grow quickly.

+1 max HP every time you lose your maximum (or +10%, whichever is more favorable)
You can survive to -(2 + 20% max) below zero, but you will be unable to fight, and will be exceeding vulnerable to attacks
You can take a turn to rest and regain 1 HP or 20% max, whichever is more favorable
Fighting uses opposed attack rolls. The winner deals the difference in damage, minus armor soak, to the defender's HP.
Losing a round against an opponent of equal skill gives a 50% chance of a skill increase. Winning has a 16.67% chance of a skill increase.
Losing a round against an opponent of double skill gives two 50% chances of a skill increase. Winning has a 50% chance of a skill increase.
Losing a round against an opponent of half skill gives a 10% chance of a skill increase. Winning gives nothing.
Sparring gives half skill gain

Killing an opponent will earn you valor and honor. For now valor is what matters, and it is used to 'purchase' skills. Skill cost will be dependent upon GM judgement. Just ask about a skill you're interested in, and I'll let you know.

All noncombat skill rolls operate on a d6 scale (typical RTD rating), but you start off rolling 1d4. Rolling a 1 will give two 20% chances at skill gain, rolling your highest value will give one 20% chance

The first six sheets will start. There will be a waitlist. Dead players can reapply to be on the waitlist the turn after their death.

It's all cyclical. I stole the idea from another game that happened a few years back.

Kill a cow, use its leather for armor, and horns for daggers. Meat for food.

[origamiscienceguy]

I think only the first 6 get in.

[Urist Arrhenius]

I think only the first 6 get in.

((Actually, it was first six sheets with first action, so I'll waitlist Andres for now. Though that may be a mere formality...))

Turn -2: A Champion Emerges: The Cow!

Find myself a weapon!

[1d4=3] You find a green glass bottle that presumably held alcohol in it. It’ll shatter after a single hit of course.

Take a club.

[1d4=2] You take a club from the brutish looking fellow to your left, who promptly pushes you into his friend, the ogre, to your right. A brief game of pong ensues before the two men walk off. With the club.

Action: Find myself a weapon.

[1d4=4] You find the hammer of some sort of craftsman. [10] Scavenging +1

Find woodcutting axe.

[1d4=3] You find a hatchet, but the head appears to be loose.

find some sticks and a string, make a bow

[1d4=4] You make something akin to a bow. You wouldn’t brag about it to a bowyer though. [3] No skill gain.

Kill a cow, use its leather for armor, and horns for daggers. Meat for food.

[1d4=2] vs. [1d5=5] You throw a punch at a cow, which only incites it to kick at you, winding you and breaking more than a few ribs. You now recognize an openhanded slap is not the pinnacle of martial achievement.
