Sell-out's RTD Turn 31 and Death of an Old Man!
« on: November 07, 2008, 11:44:21 am »

Hopefully I have not made a grievous error and sentenced myself to disgrace, but I have, alas, fallen to the succubus known as RTD. It has perked my interest enough to control such a world based on dice rolls and insanity, ergo my selling out. And so, I bring to you:

webadict's RTD

All rolls are on a 6-sided die. As with most RTD, the rolls follow this form:

1-Major Failure
2-Failure
3-Partial Failure
4-Success
5-Major Success
6-Overshot

However, as die rolls can be modified, if the roll goes below 1, it will be classified as an Epic Failure. This is [usually] Bad!
Also, if a roll goes above 6, it will be classified as an Epic Overshot. This is [usually] Good!

The situation is that you are in a white room, with no visible light source, despite the fact that it is bright enough to see. There is a single door on one side of this room, and there are 7 other people in the room with you, just as lost as you, as everyone is just starting to wake up. Everyone is dressed in their pajamas. In the middle of the room is a chest with an old-school, giant padlock (the kinds with the giant keyholes in the front) on it. There is a recording playing the same words over and over: "Escape the maze..." There is nothing else noticeable about the room at this point.

Your goal: To escape. Most people prefer to do this alive, but it's really up to you. First to the finish wins!

So... yeah, if you wanna start just say so. I'll only allow 8 people to play, since I hear it takes forever to roll. But yeah, have fun and try not to die*.

I'll join!
One question though, is it PvP or a team RTD?

I try to open the door

usually, it is what the players want. most of times, it is PvP, but if the story is interesting enough (sean's RTD) players can decide to team togheter and go through al the story.

but this is only my opinion. i odn't know anything.

I don't know... That's kinda up to the players really. I can't decide whether or not they'll help you out or blow our head off with a shotgun when you're not looking.

The Histories of Team Battles and Artifacts is dying down a bit, so I'm in.

I help Frelock open the chest by turning his left hand into a set of steel bolt cutters.

I take off my pajama shirt, and try to weave it into a rope.

as my first action, I destroy the wall by singing very loud and high, so the wall shatters like a wine glass

Rolling is not so hard, putting together statuses was the most consuming prospect.

Plus, you need to convert what is essentially a wall of text into a readable table.

Right right. It still takes a while. So you think I could write more text than 8 readable shares?

Hey, a forum game with an open slot. I'll register to join this.

For my action, I listen carefully for the source of the recorded message, trying to find it, and then attempt to destroy it. It is giving me a headache.
