Timesliders: Turn 0, Blasting into the past.
« on: July 06, 2015, 07:16:47 pm »

"Hello Ladies, Gentlemen, and everything in between, and welcome to... TIMESLIDERS! The best game show in the year 2332! My name is Van Soto, and I'm here with my co-host, Scott Larson! I'll hand it off to Scott, and he'll tell you what we're all about!"

"Thanks Van. If you've just been brought to us, and have no idea what this is all about, then stay tuned for the greatest action you have ever seen! Timesliders is a game show like no other, where our contestants will try to murder each other throughout time and space! Don't worry, they don't actually die. So you can enjoy the action without your conscience getting in the way!"

"That's right Scott, I'm gonna hand it off to our eggheads who will explain how the whole thing runs, while we wait for our contestants!"


Timesliders is a classic fight club RTD, with the twist that during the 'show' the arena moves throughout space and time. Your goal, is to simply murder everyone else before the 'episode' ends. If you die, then you get revived in the observation area. A episode is 60 turns long, each of those representing a minuet. Every 10 turns, you move to a new location, remaining in the same exact stance and keeping everything you have on you. Obviously you may be going, "But Werty, I can kill everyone in 30 turns! This will be easy, and I'll finish your game halfway through!" Not so fast! Remember how I said you have to murder everyone else? Well, when you kill someone, they are added to your list. Whenever you die, everyone on that list is thrown back into the game. So you have to kill everyone, without dying. Not as easy as it seems. Can't manage that? If there is more than one person left at the end, Everyone left is thrown in a bonus sudden death for 10 turns, and whoever has the largest kill list at the end wins, with no revives in the sudden death. The roll system will be a d20 for combat, with you rolling against your opponent, and general actions will be a d6, going by the classic scale.

"Now with that out of the way, let's get ready to meet our contestants!"

I'm befuddled by this already. If you can just explain more exactly, you're fine.

Name: Ulgh Ugh
Gender: M
Backstory: Ulgh the cave-guy was out hunting saber-toothed creatures with his big wooden club. He was trying to impress the lady cave-folk with his hunting skills, since he has always been far too weak to do so with his cave-strength. He tripped on something and landed in a pool of not-cave liquid that shimmered and glowed with colors that hurt his brain to think about. He woke up here.
Color: Silver.

I'd suggest that "surviving like a boss" is different from normal "surviving," and should instead grant a hefty counter-attack if he rolls well on critical con rolls.

Hmm. Good idea. I'll take it.

And yes, Orange is reserved! Change your colors!
