Dicehood: Roll to Starve
« on: December 12, 2023, 11:20:49 am »

A world without entropy , where dice rule over everything. There exist gods, who create wide sweeping changes in hope of revalence. And mortals, who roll just to survive to another day, attempting to eke out a better existence. Which are you though?

Players roll their own dice, keep track of their own stats, and generally make it less taxing on the GM. As the game unfolds, new info will naturally be added to the OP. I only ask that you don't fudge your results. Cheating isn't all that fun for anyone, including the cheater. And may the odds ever be in your favor.

Disregard this post. I decided not to play this.

I am going to assume that players are expected to wait until their application is accepted before posting an action.

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.

Nah, can go ahead and post an action if you wish. One thing to note is that workers that don't work don't cost any food for upkeep. Not particular useful, but shaves some numbers I guess.

So... Does that mean that the tribe specialty is pointless?

For now anyway. As usual it will help with some research. This game is off the cuff.
Research results will be revealed when the turn passes. Which is today. Any research points in a tree will be kept too if you switch.

Right now foraging seems pointless as it is impossible to get a net gain to food in a turn even with maximum rolls (Even I'm not that harsh). So the only potentially viable option is to hope I can research an improvement that makes it not-impossible before I run out of food.

Research: Better Foraging x5

Research projects: Better Foraging. 3 Progess.

I am picking god.

Name: Magmacube
Domain: Volcanoes
Appearance: Do I need to explain? A floating cube of magma with two large eyes and a mouth with three sets of triangular obsidian teeth. The top face has a pair of nostrils, and floating around the body are two, three-fingered hands made of rectangles.

My first action is to create a new tile, a volcano.

Huh? What's the idea behind that? Seems to mean there's no chance of actually starving, which is in the title of the thread!
And also means that foraging 1-value tiles is literally counter-productive, you'll survive better by doing nothing at all.
