Endless Field (8/8)
« on: August 27, 2017, 08:35:40 pm »

A minimalism game which so far has no clear rules on pretty much anything, except that the die is a d6.

Some rules have begun forming, such as multiple possible types of magic. Oh, and strength buffs, apparently.

You, uh, study magic. You sit down in the grass and feel the wind and the threads of the world tying and untying themselves constantly, an endless dance of creation and destruction.
You can't interact with them yet, but feeling is the first step to interacting.

You do all of the above, somehow. You are now stronger. +1 to physical rolls.

Introduce myself to magic. Ask magic if it would like a cup of tea. If it does so, procure a cup of tea using magic.

Grappling with the task of utilizing the threads of reality, you attempt to conquer interaction through a nonlinear method. You offer magic tea, and get the feeling that yes, it would like tea. You summon a cup of tea using magic, bending the threads of reality, but you accidentally create it above your head, and it cracks open on your skull, covering you in shards of pottery, cold tea, and bruising your head. Although you are not really sure how you made tea, you did, however, manage to discover that each different thread represents a different concept. Small, minute threads combine into bigger ones, combine into bigger ones, creating objects of molecules or grains of dirt, and their level of brightness indicates how hot they are. You haven't figured out how to heat up or cool them yet either.

You look through the grass and fine some wild onions. Not the best meal, but they will do.
5 wild onion bulbs acquired

(1)
In attempting to see through your blind eye, you successfully catch a brief glimpse of something, but that something so powerful it blinds your other eye, as well.
Status gained: Blind

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Build fire, fry and eat onions.
(2)
You try to build a fire, but there is no wood to be found. Only the grass. The grass, and the others. Now that you think about it, you realize you don't know any of them, or how they got here, or how you got here.
You eat an onion after brushing the dirt off.
-1 wild onion bulb
You are full.


Summon a magical loom and weave these threads together myself, damnit.
(6)
Again going for a nonlinear approach, you attempt to create a loom and "weave" the threads together.
Dragging threads from the nearby grass, you manage to create a loom entirely out of grass, before it crumbles to dust.
Still haven't gotten that heat thing down.
However, before it crumbled, you managed to create a... boat?
It might be magic, is made entirely out of grass and looks like a small sailing boat.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that your loom was extremely cold, you got frostbite on your hands.
You feel you aren't going at this quite right.
+1 (magic?) grass boat
(1)
You somehow manage to cut yourself on the mostly dull shards of pottery.

Name: Nathaniel
Appearance: So average that eyes tend to slip past him.

You pray to the Old Gods for power and they grant you power.
Knowledge of unpower gained. Limited localized entropic action on objects nearby possible.

Name: Mraus L'teesr
Appearance: A judge. Hmm..how about the one from Phoenix Wright?
Goal: Enforce laws and limits upon this world

Create a hammer that damages those it hits proportionally to how much they break rules.
(2)
You attempt to somehow create a hammer that does damage to those who break the rules. Unfortunately, this universe seems to have very few rules, almost no discovered rules, and grass doesn't make a good hammer.

Name: Jeb
Appearance: A small and bold human
Goal: Space
You just sort of stand there awkwardly in the grass and watch the others do stuff. Come to think of it, who are they? How did they get here, how did you get here?

Attempt to develop psionic powers that will allow me to see without eyes.
(2)
You attempt to channel the power of the mind to change how the rules work. You fail to do so, but feel it might work somewhat if you keep trying.

Spoiler: Character sheets (click to show/hide)

I hope this is all making somewhat sense. I literally started this with the only rules being look human and d6, and the magic system is being made on the fly. I won't tell you exactly how they work, but there are three separate magic systems:
Creation,
Destruction,
and Change
Guess who is learning which path.
