Roll to Chess: Turn 1 (2 slots left)
« on: June 23, 2018, 08:53:21 pm »

At first, it seems like an ordinary day; you all get out of your case, onto your position on the board, and your opponents do the same. Yet, the Kings stay at the side of the board, discussing some matters. They have seemed somewhat bored with checking and checkmating each other as of late. Perhaps they will finally change things up, somehow?As it turns out, they will; instead of their usual, alternating orders for us servants, they will let us use our free will, let us move ourselves on our own! The Queens and Bishops express worry, the Knights are excited for a new challenge, and the Rooks…are as steadfast as ever, save maybe a slight grin in the corner of your eye. For you, though, it is a long-awaited opportunity to prove your worth to your King, prove you can do more than simply crossing the board one space at a time, occasionally managing to “promote” to a superior piece that takes your place. This is your chance to be unique, to be more than a Pawn.

Before you can think another thought, the match begins.


This is a minimalist, Chess-based RTD. All the players are pawns for one color or the other (their choice), and are allowed to do anything they choose…as long as they follow the rules of Chess. They can’t do anything they explicitly can’t do in the rules of Chess. All actions are determined with a roll of a d6, in standard RTD fashion; often, 1 fails catastrophically, 2 fails completely, 3 succeeds somewhat, 4 succeeds mostly, 5 succeeds as well as possible, and 6 succeeds with a repercussion or two. If you defy the rules of chess with your action, you’ll get a -2 to your roll, but as long as the rules don’t mention it, you’re probably fine.

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.

You're both so obviously scum that this is a surprisingly difficult decision.

Black Pawn at g7. Sell the Knight at G8 some crack. Brand it as some kind of combat stim or something.

Also be the white pawn at a2. Actually be three checkers stacked on top of each other, wearing a white trenchcoat.
And I don't want to move to a4.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Pawn at A7

Perform an eldritch ritual on the rook at A8 in order to gain more power, specifically its ability to move any distance along the board, but anything better than what I have will do.
