Okay, here goes my first RTD. Well...
On a perfectly normal-seeming day in a perfectly normal-seeming world, something smashes into the Earth. All the patients at Happiness Hospital, in the imaginatively named city Townston, are suddenly cured. Other things probably happened, but you don't know about them.
The location of the object: 250 miles away from Townston.
You are one of the many people at Happiness Hospital on the day of the impact. The lights are flickering, you hear yelling from outside, and the coffee maker just broke.
Rolls will be 1d12 each. 6 or less is a failure (the lower, the worse), 7 or greater is a success (the higher, the better). Very simple actions will automatically succeed.
Each character needs the following:
*Name: first and last, middle is optional.
*Appearance: just because.
*Background: keep it realistic and relatively simple. This will give you some bonus to some sort of rolls, and possibly a free item.
*Position: Are you a staff member (if so, what kind) or a patient? This will effect items and give bonuses to staff rolls. Patients will get larger bonuses from backgrounds than staff members.
