ROLL A GENRE!

About: I am taking this opportunity to work on my story telling. Which admittedly has traditionally taken a back seat to my gameplay tinkering. That said I see a few ways I can tinker with the RtD agenda to amuse me(and, hopefully you!).

Spoiler: Suggestion Game (click to show/hide)

Quote and +1 a suggestion to support it. Other suggestions may be smooshed in or ignored.

Spoiler: Roll to Dodge (click to show/hide)

Take an action and see what genre it plays out in:

6 - Comedy (slapstick) (good stuff that has bad side effects)
5 - Action (heroic) (good stuff)
4 - Adventure (exciting) (good stuff with some danger)
3 - Documentary (logical) (neutral, de-escalate)
2 - Drama (emotional) (swing good or bad based on NPC relationships)
1 - Horror (insidious) (bad stuff, danger)

Spoiler: Magnitude (click to show/hide)

Repeat rolls increase the level of strain on suspension of disbelief. Documentary resets it.

Level 1 - Practical: Status Quo / Safe
Level 2 - Exceptional: Odd / Caution: You lost your cell phone...
Level 3 - Uncanny: Very Odd / Warning: And you are lost...
Level 4 - Irrational: WTF / Danger: At sea...
Level 5 - Fantastic*

*Things are weird, and you know it is really happening. Other levels may still be explained away.

Spoiler: You (click to show/hide)

Are a person. Your gender, yep you sure have one. Your race, you know you could kinda be mistaken for any. Your sexuality, you swing both ways. Some people find you ugly, some very attractive, appearance is all in the eye of the beholder, really.

Spoiler: Parts (Summary of world changes) (click to show/hide)

Prologue: What we might perceive as the real world. Protagonist is a day-dreaming high school student.

Challenge a god to a fistfight

3 - Documentary
They had finally reached Zeus utop Mount Olympus. The bearded diety grimaced and nodded, and the two pulled up a chair across a marble table. The mortal was promptly reminded of that attribute, and their hand slammed down so fast, they awoke in the present day in a high school with drool dribbling from their mouth, and a very peeved looking Mythology 101 teacher gazing upon them.

Screw this guy. You march up to him, and suddenly he has his hand around your throat. The principle walks in and the teacher quickly releases you.

6 - Practical Comedy
You fall to the floor weeping and babbling about Zeus. The principal gives a questioning glance and walks away. The teacher scoffs at you and walks to their desk. The bell rings. Next period.

Man that tuna surprise did a number on you. You look in the bathroom mirror, you swear you saw something moving on your eye, but it surprised you and you blinked. Now it's gone.

They coughed and rubbed their eye. On the back of their hand, they saw the eyelash that had been ailing them before. In the hallway they passed by a flyer for a self defense class offered by their teacher from Mythology 101. "Spot aggressors and stop them to protect yourself". There were seven names, and room to write one more.
