I am starting this RTD/RP here after posting it on the MyWorld forum just because I thought you people here at Bay12 would be interested. Players can create a character and they will be placed in a random starting position within their town.

A Day to Remember!



Mechanics: It will be an RP/RTD. Players will need to find food and water. There will be random encounters. Players will have free roam of the world. Each turn is six hours time and players can cram as many actions as they think they can get a way with. Actions will be determined by the rolling of two six-sided dice, one for sucess rating, 6 being the highest, and one for luck, six being the highest. There will be a realistic wound/recovery system. There will be a basic overhead map drawn of the play area for each player. There will be NPCs with varied relationships to players be it enemy, friend, wife, child.

Backstory: You are a citizen of a city or village that has been recently decimated/looted. The invading force has long since left and you find yourself in your home/business/hole. You find on your person, two days food and water, basic clothing, and tools and equipment related to your skill. Players can set their own goals such as, your family was killed in the raid and you swear vengence.

World: There is no magic. Players can choose any skills they wish be it smithing, looting, fishing, swordsmanship. The world map will be drawn up only after a player finds a map. Your civ has knowledge of steelmaking and basic knowlege of gunpowder.

[Yarnspinner]

Um, Relm, could i possibly ask you to change your profession to maybe, Lumberjack? Seeing as i already 'called' carpentry. 

[Labs]

Alright, once we get enough players, I'll make up some character sheets with inventory, status and status modifiers, location w/ local map, and some other things.

[Fisac]

(Daroth)
I raise up and walks out the door, watching out the village and walks towards the woods in search for a stick (I search until I find a good one).
I take my dagger and the stick and ties them together with a piece of my rope to make a spear.
I walk with the spear to the stream watching through the house windows and see people inside.
At the stream I take off my boots and walk into the water.
I raise the spear and attempts to catch fishes with it. (In about 4 hours).
I walk up from the stream with my spear and puts on my shoes and pick up the fishes I catched and walks home.
At the home I start setting up my kitchen tools and start to cook the fishes.
