Contemplate whether the dropship left you on earth, or the Commies have grown grass on the moon. Also, stuff dirt in pockets in case of emergency.

[Vlynndar]

Contemplate whether the dropship left you on earth, or the Commies have grown grass on the moon.

Contemplate with Kinseti, while making everybody else ever also believe in my pretend tumbleweed gun. Fire it at the moon, if visible, to demonstrate power.

I like your style, Dwarfaholic

I'll update the main post soon enough, don't worry, me pretties. Also, this post has been updated, check your actions, folks.

[RAM]

Wear sunglasses. Become so awesome that the Elder One goes insane from being in my presence, or at least asks for an autograph...

[Acanthus117]

Mother of god! This RTD is still in its infancy, yet it's awesome.

Attempt to regain mental health.

This only applies if I can actually do anything.

[RAM]

Next team needs a medic and a mentic...

[Enzo]

Shove dirt in pockets damnit.

[Frelock]

Dibs on the waiting list.

Also, unless you're intentionally trying to kill people off fast, you might want to re-design the mental damage roll.  Say 5-6 restores mental health, 3-4 does nothing, and 2-1 drains it.  With the exceedingly low reservoir of only 6, it's just not practical to deplete some of that each turn you fail, especially for inane failures.  I mean, seriously, who goes insane because he takes a short fall and realizes he can't do something minor?

[Paranatural]

Chillax

[Tarran]

Pull out a sniper rifle (out of nowhere) and no-scope the invisible beast!

[Vlynndar]

Pull out a sniper rifle (out of nowhere) and no-scope the invisible beast!

I have a very real weapon. I will use it as I have been taught.
The monster is invisible when I try to look at it. Therefore I will close my eyes, and assault it with my very real weapon.

EDIT:

Long And Pointy Metal Stick: Unexamined, In Container: Stomach [3/6]

You win, Dwarfaholic.

Wait, is it a good idea to examine my weapon?

[Kagus]

I'd just like everyone to take a moment and picture this setting. 

It's the middle of your bog-standard grassy field, a dropship has just touched down, and a bunch of military specialists have just hopped out.  Some parade out, some hop, some fall flat on their face.  Once they've collected themselves, they proceed to shove metal objects into themselves, stare at the sun, craft makeshift firearms out of shrubbery, shout incoherent gibberish and spontaneously combust.


If this were an RTS, I would consider paying in body parts to play it.


Oh, by the way...  When appropriate, I Lay Down Some Funkalicious Boogie to supercharge my powers!  May the Funk be with you.

[dragnar]

I join the waiting list!

[RAM]

I mindmeld with Dragnar to offload some of my crazy!

[Dwarfaholic]

Dibs on the waiting list.

Also, unless you're intentionally trying to kill people off fast, you might want to re-design the mental damage roll.  Say 5-6 restores mental health, 3-4 does nothing, and 2-1 drains it.  With the exceedingly low reservoir of only 6, it's just not practical to deplete some of that each turn you fail, especially for inane failures.  I mean, seriously, who goes insane because he takes a short fall and realizes he can't do something minor?

I direct your attention to two things:

Rules Will Be Discovered As The Game Progresses

Rules May Or May Not Take Effect Upon Discovery

I may or may not have forgotten to apply one of the rules meant to counter excessive insanity the last round, but, rest assured, I will not fail next round, which will be in the next post.
