Uno momento...

[RoseHeart]

DM: Please describe the first room the party enters.

You have these cards(your eyes only).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Red: create monster(s), play more than one for stronger.
Green: create a trap or trick of some kind, like the door locking. Play more for stronger.
Yellow: Add treasure to a room. More for more valuable. Influences hero behavior.
Blue: Add more branching paths, or make the room larger and harder to navigate.

You have 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, and 2 blue

GM: Please standby.

[RoseHeart]

Oh. Appears Gwolf has been gone for hours.

johiah would you like to be DM? Go ahead and take a turn if yes.

[Shadowclaw777]

Spoiler: DM's turn (click to show/hide)

First room utilizes 1 green and 1 blue, save the rest. Start off with a simple trap and basic branching path

I can rotate for GM, if both of them don't post

[RoseHeart]

They are competing roles, but I am fine with you taking DM.

Go ahead and describe the room you made.

As if the NPCs were human players.

The entrance to the dungeon is a simplified entrance room that has been overtaken by nature. Their is thick grass and shrubbery all around this place that makes moving through it a slow and tedious task. In the center their is a simple spike trap configuration, where if a inept adventure steps on a pressure plate, that is partially concealed by the foliage, than a grouping of spikes will impale them. The dungeon leads has two other crevices and hallways to go through to confuse fellow adventures.

Theirs your description for the entrance.

The party enters, with no apparent dangers they go for the left path.

GM: Please define how this outcome will be determined.

Sorry I was asleep.
Can I be GM then?

[RoseHeart]

Yes.

Ok. So the chance to dodge depends on their speed, ability at spotting traps, and a d6. To successfully dodge they need a 4 or higher, this is lowered by one for being fast, or one for being good with traps. These effects stack. The damage is determined by how badly they fail the roll. 1 below lowers health from fine to injured, 2 below lowers it from fine to moderately injured, as well as adding a "bleeding!" Malus to all subsequent rolls, manifesting as a -1 until health is returned to normal, 3 below is very injured, which includes the "bleeding!" Malus, as well as a -1 called "faint". 4 below is critically injured, and unless they are treated within 5 turns, they will die.
Each treatment raises wound level by 1.
This particular trap requires a 4 or higher to dodge, and a 5 or higher "spotting" roll. The spotting roll can receive a +1 bonus for being perceptive, or good with traps.
Party members can inform those behind them of a spotted trap, providing a +2 to any who attempt to go through.

DM, you can use this or create a "house rule".

The players of the Heroes will vote on it. But if you decide to go with the GM's rule they can't disagree.

Yep the trap mechanic seems fine but I want a minor adjustment. Some traps are more difficult to "evade" or resists. Some shoot magical projectiles or whatever else in your imagination gives you. More difficult traps will add a +1 to their (DC) roll for each level of difficulty and complicated the trap is, at the discretion of the GM and DM.

Simple; Spikes, Darts, etc (+0 to DC)
Complicated; Magical Flames, Poisoned Darts (+1 to DC)
Superior; Spray of Acid, Lightning Trap (+2 to DC)
Ridiculous Insane; Disintegration, Time Manipulation, the ceiling of the dungeon falling on you (+4 to DC)
