I'm in Canada for a week, so this game has been cancelled, at least temporarily.
Happy RTD-ing. :3

It seems so boring
To run a generic game
Instead, we can do...

Haiku RTD!
Completely in Haiku form
(That's Five Seven five)

Sound cool? Let's do it!
To start, five people can join
You all are heroes
Your goal is to find
The long-lost City of Gold,
El Dorado! YEAH!

First, I'll wait to see
If there is some interest
In a game like this
Post below if you
Would like to try out this new
Kind of RTD!

Important side note:
There are many different
Formats of haiku
I'll stick to basic
Five-seven-five syllable
Haikus, but you are
Welcome to try out
Any of the other kinds
Of this ancient form

Other side note: I suck at poetry. Cut me some slack, and your characters may not be struck down prematurely!

The Truth: You can't be a worse haiku-er than me. So join in! We could use another player or two.

Roll System

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I will roll for you
On each of your actions that
I deem risky enough.

1 - Oh, shoot...
2 - Woops!
3 - Well, that's annoying.
4 - Huh. That could have gone better.
5 - Sweet, sweet success!
6 - Epic success

[Nirur Torir]

What twisted mind thinks
A game of complete haiku
Is fun? Wait ... I do.

Well then, here it is.
First, the name of my hero:
Refrigerator.

Him barbarian,
Him go smash-crush-kill-maim-kill.
(He's illiterate.)

[CJ1145]

Hmm what to name him?
It seems strange but I will use
Jimbo Barnabas

He uses a sword
That cuts with magic power
To slay all evil

His favorite band
Is Muse, the bloody wankers
Rock like no others

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Haiku? Intriguing.
I lament I have no time
To make good poems.

Instead I will watch
Others count out syllables
For my amusement.

[Doopliss]

Haiku?  Sounds awesome.
I wish I could pronounce them
in a decent way.

Character: Miguel
He's somewhat dopey looking
A swindler and fool

Or, not a ripoff,
The naval Captain Zetroc
Not that competent

[Flaming Dorf]

Awesomeness! We should
Start this and allow others
To join as we go.

Turn 0

You start out on the
Greatest journey of your lives...
Into the jungle!

On the edge of the
Wilderness of Ecuador
You must decide now
What you want to do.
You lack compasses and maps,
And the internet.

Your surroundings are
A small village of natives
And, of course, jungle.

[Nirur Torir]

A village? Let's go!
I will look impressive.
Ask for directions.

[Doopliss]

>I follow Refrig'
And stop him from berzerking
If necessary.

[CJ1145]

A jungle, alone?
I think I'll stick with my friends
Jimbo's not stupid.

[Flaming Dorf]

Turn 1

Nirur Torir
Roll: 4
You look quite awesome.
A few natives seem impressed
And so you ask them
For directions, but
They don't understand a word
You have to say. Darn.

Doopliss
Roll: 5
You have no trouble
Following the warrior
Into the village.

CJ1145
Roll: 2
You, although not dumb,
Cannot fathom the concept
Of following him.
Instead, you get lost
And wander into a cave
Hidden by the trees.
You hear a loud hiss.
You look up above your head...
HOLY SHIT, A SNAKE

[Doopliss]

Trade with the natives
for expedition supplies.
Then, jungle ahoy!

[Nirur Torir]

Loudly, I repeat
My previous statements: I
Ask for directions.

When engaging in
Conversations in other
Languages, shout more.

The point will be clear.
... Oh, goody. I'm starting to
Haiku easily.

[Doopliss]

Make sure you also
speak exceedingly slowly.
All can understand.

EDIT:
My Haiku skills have
Not improved in the slightest
The poem's fixed now.

[CJ1145]

A snake?! Oh, my Lord!
I must defend myself now!
Draw my magic sword!

I strike with great speed
To remove his hissing head
In a single blow.

[Flaming Dorf]

Turn 2

Doopliss
Roll: 6
You decide to trade
Then remember suddenly
Your spanish is great!
You convince many
Villagers to lay out goods
In exchange for coins.
There are unknown meats,
And waterskins, fruits, hooks, ropes,
Darts and bags of nuts,
Knives for hacking, and
dry skins for warmth and cover
during rainy nights.
Each meat will last you
For only one day, at most.
You may buy 4 things.

Nirur Torir
Roll: 5
Your louder yelling
Causes natives to cower
And sell stuff for cheap.
(Intimidation Effect: Your group may pick a 5th item.)

CJ1145
Roll: 4
You slash at the snake
And manage to behead it
After it bites you.

(-1 Health, ♥♥♥_)

The cave doesn't lead
anywhere interesting.
But you find snake eggs.
