What Lies Beneath the Earth (10/unlimited)
« on: November 04, 2022, 06:39:05 pm »

This is an experimental dungeon-crawling game where the dungeon-crawling component is noninteractive. Rather than piloting your character through the dungeon, you will receive a report of how they fared: what foes they faced, what traps they sprung, what loot they found, and whether they lived to tell the tale.

Between dungeon trips, you can improve your character by selling unneeded items, buying equipment, and leveling up. You can also trade items with other players or form parties with them. But that's only if you survive the first...

Character Sheet
Name
Attitude: Your character's approach to dungeon-diving summed up in a single word. This will affect how they react to obstacles. Consider a rich hoard of treasure guarded by a terrifying dragon: a Foolhardy or Greedy character might charge the dragon at once, while a Cautious or Cowardly character would retreat even if they had a decent chance of winning.
Attributes: Divide 15 points between the following attributes: Strength, Constitution, Agility, Magic, and Luck. Each stat must be at least 1 and at most 5.
Class: Your character's profession or defining quality. Examples: Enchanter, Wrestler, Elf, Chronomancer.
Skill: Some special ability or trait your character has. Examples: Magic Resistance, Treasure Sense, Monster Identification.

Code: (Character Sheet) [Select]
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Attitude:[/b]
[b]Attributes:[/b] Strength _, Constitution _, Agility _, Magic _, Luck _
[b]Class:[/b]
[b]Skill:[/b]

Once a number of players have posted sheets, the first delve will begin.

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

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.
