ARCANE FUCKERY

Its been over 6000 years since the old gods dragged the mortal realm to this place. Where they've gone no one knows, but new powers have emerged in the world who manipulate the fabric of reality. The Wizards. Rare and powerful, wizards are born into this world with dominion over some aspect of reality. They also tend to be slightly insane.

Spoiler: Basic Rules (click to show/hide)

There are a few ways things are done here.

1. Basic RTD for any actions that are not magical in nature.

2. For magical things, you need mana. Any magical action is rated 1-100 and you need that much mana to make an RTD roll to try and do it. Alternatively, a player can choose to pay 1/2 the cost to roll at a disadvantage, or 1.5 the cost to roll at advantage. You gain a random amount of mana each turn + mana for certain things like controlled territory or  mana extraction set ups.

3. Units created by the players are rated d4-d12 and when they come into conflict with each other, the dice are rolled and the loser killed. Players are considered d20 creatures.  If multiple creatures get into combat, the dice are arranged largest to smallest and rolled against each other in successive rounds until one side either gives up or is killed off.  Units and players can usually move 5 spaces in a turn. Some special units might move faster or slower and certain terrain might slow them down.

4. Territories are also rated d4-d12 and they act like units except they can't move. You can build up a territory to make it higher level and harder to take over. All units in a territory have to be beaten or run off before the territory can be attacked.

Name: Duh
Appearance: Duh
Sphere: The aspect of reality that you have control over. Aspects should be relatively focused and anything too broad will be rejected. Fire is a good example; however fire does not limit a wizard to just making fireballs. They can make flame elementals, control volcanoes, basically anything to do with flame or heat or whatever
Mana: Your current mana. Has no upper limit. Starts at 0.

Each wizard begins with their own wizard tower. This is your headquarters and is a d20 territory.  Your death or the destruction of your tower is the end for you. You can put it wherever you want.

This is the map. Its very large so I'm not embedding it as an image, just a link. Each hex has a little number pair to show where it is.  Use these number pairs to specify locations in turns. This is an old world, one that has seen much turmoil and still bears the scars of the ancient times. Expand outwards, search the world, conquer the peoples, discover the secrets.
