[Lovefool]

Hello all at Bay12, I'm Lovefool. This is an RTD I did on another forum before deciding to bring it here.
I've heard a lot about this place RTD-wise, I mean, some your RTDs are on TV Tropes, that's pretty awesome.

So, I hope you can all have a good time with this one.

Batter Up!

Spoiler: General RTD Rules: (click to show/hide)

Here's how my point system works.
{0} = Universal Fail, (+1 point to your next roll)
[1] = Epic Fail, (-1 point to your next roll)
[2] = Fail
[3] = Minor Success
[4] = Success
[5] = Major Success, (+1 point to your next roll)
[6] = Overshot, (-1 point to your next roll)
[7] = Perfect, (-1 point to your next roll)

So, to give you examples:
>Tommy attempts to pitch a baseball

{0}: Tommy throws the baseball so hard that not only does it miss, but it breaks his arm, flies across the planet, smashes into his head,
 and leaves him paralyzed. At least he's still alive... Somehow... (+1 to your next roll)

[1]: Tommy throws the baseball, it hits the ground below him and busts him right in the nose... He is now bleeding profusely. (-1 point to your next roll)

[2]: Tommy doesn't throw the baseball.

[3]: Tommy throws the baseball, the batter manages to hit it and make it to first base.

[4]: Tommy throws the baseball, the batter misses, giving him a strike.

[5]: Tommy throws the baseball and strikes out the batter! The crowd cheers him on! (+1 to your next roll)

[6]: Tommy throws the baseball and hits the batter right in the face, causing Tommy to get kicked out of the game. (-1 to your next roll)

[7]: Tommy throws the baseball... and God himself arrives to bless Tommy for his perfect throw. Ascending to godhood, Tommy becomes the God of Baseball, and creates a universe where only baseball exists. Perfect moments like these only come around once or twice... So watch out. (-1 to your next roll)

As for combat, I do things like this.

[Person being attacked/Person attacking]

Essentially, if the Person being attacked gets a number that's at least 4 points above the Person attacking, The person being attacked counters the attacker.

If the attacker gets 4 points higher than the Person they are attacking, That person will die. Don't worry, death is not permanent.

If the numbers are within 1 point of each other, it is minor damage or a miss.

If the numbers are the same, it is a miss.

If the numbers are 2-3 points apart, damage will be moderate.

That's about it for that, you get up to 2 actions per turn. Make sure to specify the actions, otherwise I might only roll once.

This is a minimalist RTD, so there's nothing to worry about character wise.

Anyways, enough rambling from me. Here's your story:

I'm just going to rip off the plot of Sandlot and say that you're all a bunch of kids playing baseball together at a local park.
There are no teams, just a bunch of kids playing ball.

Anything goes from this point on.

Let's Get This Party Started! Inning One!

Name: Ryden Kic

Get possessed by an evil spirit.

From now on, when quoted, your name will be Ryden Kic.

[3]: You get somewhat possessed, not in the, "cool powers" way, but in the, "you don't have control of your actions" way. For the next turn, your action will be random, regardless of what you do, luckily your roll will not be altered.

Dig for gold.

[6]: You dig, and dig, and dig, and dig, and dig, (50 "and dig"'s later) and dig so deep that you have trapped yourself in a hole. There's no gold there either, sucks to be you right now. (-1 to your next roll)

BE THE SCARY DOG NEXT DOOR. SCRATCH MYSELF AND GROWL MENACINGLY.

[2]: You do not become the scary dog next door... Which means you do none of those things... RIP.

[2]: You also don't congratulate me at all... You just sit there... Questioning your existence...

Name: Zero

Search for snails.

From now on, when quoted, your name will be Zero.

[4]: You search for snails, and come across a couple just slithering around. You pick one up and name him Gary.

Practice my bat swings, focus on generating as much speed and power as possible.

[2(What is with all of the 2's today?)]: You don't practice your bat swings, you instead sit down and sip a Caprisun.

Look for coins on the ground while waiting for every one else to start the game.

[6]: You look around, and find a very shiny metallic object. Upon picking it up, you find out that it burns. Your fingers got pretty injured, and what's this? That isn't a coin... That's a bullet. It seems to have been shot rather recently, as in only a few minutes ago... This does not spell good news for you and your friends. (-1 point to your next roll)

start a fire between second and third base

[1]: You start a fire alright... on your clothes that is/. You have lit yourself on fire. You proceed to throw off all of your clothes up to your underwear. Everyone sees this and proceeds to laugh at you. The embarrassment levels are high right now. (-1 point to your next roll).

Set up Napoleonic era cannons around the stadium aimed at the field.

[3]: You set up one cannon, its kinda dinky, and gets jammed pretty easily, but it'll have to do.

Collect baseball trading cards.

[4]: You collect a variety of baseball trading cards from the nearby hobby store. You've got cards with players from the Yankees, Orioles, and one random Football Trading card of Tim Tebow for some reason.

"Hey guys! Watch this!"
Hit a home run.

[3]: You don't quite hit a home run, but at least you make it to first base.

EVENT: Murder on the Sandlot

GigaGiant has found a bullet on the premises of the field. Someone was murdered here... The question is who did it, and where is the body?
It is up to you to find out.
