Hope to Dodge - Turn 43. END.
« on: October 09, 2009, 08:00:57 pm »

It's time for a random, nonsensical RTD. Except it's not an RTD. In an RTD, you get a free roll to dodge. In Hope to Dodge, you only get a roll for your action - All other events, including dodging and damage, are arbitrarily determined by me. Poor spelling? The sword hits you. Trying to make an action too long? The sword hits you. Too much GM flattery in an attempt to be invincible? A sword appears and hits you. Good RP? The sword only cuts you. 500 word turns? Your sword catches fire, incinerating your hand.

Any action is possible on a {5}, but nigh-impossible actions like trying to become the god of time will drastically lower my desire to let you live. Simpler actions are less likely to hurt you.

Sign-up rules: 6 players, 2 spot waiting list on a first-come, first-served basis. Anyone dying may immediately reapply for the waiting list, if they are fast enough. WARNING: Don't join if you'll get offended from an early death. Most actions will not be instantly fatal for a healthy character, but I might randomly decide to try to kill somebody. No signing up if you're GMing a game I'm in, please. That's not fair for everybody else, because I'd have a conflict of interests with killing you.

Oh, sorry.

Summon a Zombie Thrall and get him to tell me where I am and what's going on.

EDIT: Woops, I missed the part about signups not being allowed since I'm GMing Arcanum Octet...

I give my spot to someone else, then.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

HEY! You don't even know me. Your character has no knowledge of my evil endeavors! Maybe he just thinks I'm a pizza guy that got lost on his way to deliver some stuff... and his manager is a zombie.

I don't want somebody who's GMing a game I'm in as one of the players, because I'd probably subconsciously be overly generous with them, which is less fun. Or is it? I guess I'll leave it up to the players to decide.

Every time you think you've accidentally been too nice to me, erase whatever you had and replace it with something ridiculously cruel.

Problem solved!
