Roll a Wish!
« on: March 24, 2019, 07:32:33 pm »

This one seems rather popular on forums, and after glancing at the pages of history and old topics in the various nonsense I couldn't see one. So I'm making one!<P>Basically it goes like this. The first poster, which is me, states a wish.
Example: I wish I had a million dollars!
And the next poster corrupts the wish, and then posts a wish of his/her own.
Example: But the million dollars were stolen from a bank and you end up in jail!
I wish I had some pie! And so on and on. Ready? Let's start corrupting! I wish I won the top prize at the swedish lottery.

Same as that. Except roll the outcome of the above poster. You can use your own formula, but typically it is something like:

6 - Overshoot, Succeed so well it's bad.
5 - Success, your wish came true!
4 - Partial Success, your wish came true more or less!
3 - Minor Success, your wish came true technically speaking!
2 - Minimal Success, your wish came true in an ironic way or something!
1 - Failure, your wish came true! No. No it did not.

"Eh, hem."

You got a 3.

Ergo, you have one of those toy dinosaur eggs. The ones made of clay powder and stuff that you can "excavate" to find a plastic Ankylosaurus in.

I personally wish for a clockwork cat.

You got a 4.

As a result, you got a clockwork cat, but it doesnt have a natural AI. You need to program it to do things. Fortunately for you, it’s python, which I know you know how to code.

I wish for boosted luck.

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

I’m running a game/mechanics test called Fate/Mechanics Test. Feel free to check it out.

You got a 2.

That means that you get to suffer as you watch everyone AROUND YOU get boosted luck - just not you personally. You find yourself friends with everyone - but only because you're a lucky charm, not because of you as a person.

I wish for... Y'know what, I wish for humanity to stop being so suicidally stupid.

You, too, rolled two.

Well, they're not suicidal anymore at least. Not intentionally, anyway.

I wish for Roll to Siegebreak to resume.

The game is instead rebooted. But it has the same host and level of quality.

I wish I had a pad of paper, that anything I drew came to life, that never seemed to run out.

You rolled a two!
The drawings come back as hideous as your bad drawing and repeatedly asks you to end the suffering.

5!

Defying all known laws, you are able to utter the phrase, "Bird's Eye, oh my!" and a plate of Bird's Eye brand fish fingers, complete with dipping sauce, appears on the nearest flat surface with a sound like a pop-gun. You can do this as many times as you like.

...But eventually you grow pretty tired of these fish sticks, and end up using the ability only at parties and in a series of advertisements for which you are paid extremely well.

I wish for a really good GM to run games for me and my friends.

You get an AMAZING GM... They get everyone really immersed, and the storytelling and acting is really top tier! But they ditch the group after the first session. (2)

"I wish I won a poker tournament."
You get to the final round and lose! Then they find out your last opponent was a cheater, and you are declared the winner. You get all the prize money and prestige, but most people watching live casually just think you were that person that got second place. (4)

Three!

You turn into a raptor but you are forced to live in a cage to be studied. At least it has good cable and food.

You rolled a Six!

You get a steampunk airship with a full crew in costume and room service serving steamed hams!

I wish for a personal jazz ensemble that can play any song I request.
