"Ah, Space Fish!" Says Admiral Space Wumpus. "It's been a while since you've been in space; I hope you remember how to use your equipment. I should really offer you a guided tutorial or something, but I'm very busy eating Space Adventurers! I'm afraid you're on your own. Goodbye!"

Admiral Space Wumpus promptly goes about his business. You have just returned to space after having a disco holiday on the far-away tropical water planet, Krixnos. Your job, duty and desire is to do whatever it is a space fish does!



So, what would a space fish do now?

Stats
You're a fish. I haven't decided a stat system yet.

Skills

• 85% swimmer
• 40% communication
• 25% zero-gravity jetpack operator

Abilities

• basic five senses
• herbivore
• water-breathing
• vacuum-resistance

Inventory

• jetpack tail attachment
• oxygen-bubbly space-fish breathing apparatus
• dorsal solar panel

When I decide a skill check is necessary, I'll roll a d100 and compare it to the skill value.
Skills will (as of the 3rd update) be displayed as follows:

• 50% arbitrary skill
  01##10########50########90##100

This indicates a 50% mastery of the skill. The bar below shows how likely you are to roll well/poorly. If you roll below the % value (or double the % value if the task is easy, or half if it's very tough), you succeed.
If you roll below 1/5 of your skill value, that's a critical success. If you roll within the top 1/5 of your failure range, that's a critical failure.
A roll of 01 is always a success and a roll of 00 (100) is always a failure (though not necessarily critical).

So with the bar above, from 01-10 we'll succeed critically, from 11-50 we'll succeed, from 51-90 we'll fail, and from 91-100 we'll fail critically.

At some point I might roll a d100 and compare it to a skill value. Maybe.

How big is a d100 dice???? lol!

Anyways, spin at 20 MPH for 30 seconds on all axises and upon stopping, head out in the direction you face

[Samthere]

100-sided.

Or, lets not get dizzy, and head to our ventral side.

[Dave Mongoose]

Eat some space plankton.

P.S: Space Fish is awesome.

[smjjames]

100-sided.

I get that its 100 sided, but how big is it? If you're using a computer simulated one, thats different.

[Samthere]

Oh, right. Usually about the size of a Pokéball (yeah, 'cos that's helpful) or a slightly-larger golf ball, with 100 faces of a sphere cut flat. But I'll either be generating it or rolling 2d10.

Just below the picture to the right, so there you have it.. I think?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i'm trying to get my girlfriend into forum games, so this sugestion is her's
"become cute and cudly so i can pet you"

[Samthere]

You consider spinning to randomise your direction, but just the thought of it makes you dizzy.



Instead, you head straight on. Admiral Space Wumpus seems less than impressed as you jetpack towards his rear, and bats you away with his mighty tail. You drift briefly before coming to your senses, and feel peckish. You take a bite out of a nearby space plankton. It tastes vile. You then survey the scene ahead of you.



1) Slightly to your left is Skully Rumbugger's Space-Goods Emporium Funhouse, known for its willingness to sell weaponry without requiring background checks, and for their Space Seafood Bistro, which has recently been called into question by Greenspace over their dubious trawling methods.
2) Directly ahead of you is an outcropping of space coral, where the finest space krill are rumoured to be found.
3) Beyond that is Bongton-7, said to be home to the space kraken Melvin.

Where will Space Fish head? Of course, it's never too late for Space Fish to change his mind and go somewhere else!
Wherever he goes, Space Fish gets the feeling that he'll end up being completely adorable, no matter what happens. Is this just wishful thinking?

Divide by zero, add pi to alpha and omega, solve the metarethorical-quantrum paradox, add it all together and then choose from the outcome of that.


Or you could just head for the space coral.

[smjjames]

The space coral.

The Kraken is certain death (unless it happens to be a vegetarian for some wierd reason) and the shopping center could end up with us getting trawled.

[Dave Mongoose]

Definitely the coral.

Who needs a mission when there's krill and... things?

[Samthere]

Just letting you know, I'm getting to bed. The next update should be ready in about 12 hours or so, so feel free to make speculative suggestions about what you'll do once you're at the coral (or at another place if there's a rush of people who feel like going somewhere else)!

Night!

[Askot Bokbondeler]

be cuter!

and coral
