Rework in progress!
« on: October 13, 2010, 12:52:35 pm »

Wlecome to this rtd!
_______________________________________________________________________
Here is the intro!
-Intro was here but it got deleted because i messed something up.-

RULES
Quote
In this RTD, you have two action types; Free Actions and Standard Actions. You can perform as many Free Actions as you like (within reason) and there are no rolls involved; you just succeed (or fail if it's impossible). Free Actions include (but are not limited to) communicating, moving around, picking things up, dropping things and so on.

Standard Actions are the meat of RTD; you may perform one Standard Action per turn and they require a roll to see how well you do, the rolls are as follows;

0 - Epic Fail. You're probably dead, and you might have taken somone else with you. Only achievable with a penalty.
1 - big fail. That didn't work, and you just made things worse as well!
2 - Normal Fail. That didn't work, try againand would you not try to kill yourself?
3 - lesser Fail! That didn;t workt try again.
4 - Comfortable Success. You did what you wanted to and you learned a little bit in the process (+1 skillpoint).
5 - Great Success. Excellent! Not only did you succeed, but you did even better than you expected to! (+1 skillpoint)
6 - Incredible Success. You went above and beyond the call of duty and did something truely superhuman. The earth trembles at your approach. (+2 skillpoints)
7 - Epic Success. The laws of physics hold no power over you! The best possible outcome occurs, and you're loving it. (+2 skillpoints) Only achievable with a bonus.
8 - Overshot. Whoops, you went a wee bit too far. The result is definitely what you wanted to, but with some unintentional side-effects; like you targeted the enemy cultist and blew up the entire city. (+3 skillpoints) Only achievable with a big bonus.

Anything below 0 or above 8 is treated as a 0 or 8 respectively.

You can get bonuses from many sources, including magical buffs, skill training (see below), good equipment and random circumstance.


Skills are another part of RTD; Skills can be anything, if you focus on it you can become skilled in opening doors. There's no list of skills and the only way to see if you can learn a skill is to try it.

Skills have 12 levels, each level requires more XP than the previous level.

Dabbling - 1
Novice - 2 (+1 bonus if the die rolls a natural 1)
Competant - 4 (Static +1 to all rolls)
Skilled - 7 (Static +1 to all rolls, successes are improved.)
Adept - 11 (Static +1 to all rolls, extra +1 if the dice rolls a natural 1, successes are improved.)
Talented - 16 (Static +2 to all rolls, successes are improved)
Professional - 22 (Static +2 to all rolls, successes are greatly improved.)
Expert - 29 (You may choose to take a +1, +2 or +3 bonus to your rolls, successes are greatly improved.)
Master - 37 (You may choose to take a +1, +2 or +3 bonus to your rolls, successes are substantially improved.)
High Master - 46 (Static +3 bonus to all rolls, successes are substantially improved. You cannot Overshoot.)
Grand Master - 56 (Static +4 bonus to all rolls, successes are massively improved. You may choose to Overshoot, or not.)
Ledgendary - 75 (You choose which number you roll from 0 to 8.)

You get bonuses at different skill levels as well. Note that each bonus replaces any previous bonuses.


WEWNDS! Invariably you will meet people who are not very nice and who will try to hurt you, and whom you will try to hurt. You will be engaged in conflict and some of you will be hurt. These are the wound levels;

Lightly Wounded - Don't worry about it. You'll recover with a short rest and take no penalites. Just try not to get hit again.
Moderately Wounded - Ow. You take a -1 penalty to any rolls you make with this body part and may suffer some extra penalties if the part is important (like your brain). You'll heal after you take a fairly long rest.
Broken - Aaah! -2 penalty to any rolls made with this body part. Can only apply to brittle parts (like bones). Worse still, this will not heal by itself; you're going to need medical attention!
Mangled - Damaged beyond recognition. You'll be copping at least a -3 penalty to anything you try and use with this limb, and will probably be suffering a butt-ton of extra effects. Like Broken, this will not heal by itself.
Lopped Off - It's gone! Holy hell it's gone! You can't do anything that requires this part, and if it's an important part (like, say, your head) you are now dead. Worse still this cannot be healed by mundane means, and will require at least an Incredible success to fix!


There are also a number of status effects which may vary from time to time, i'll explain each effect when it turns up.


For Fighting, i first roll to see if you are successful in making your attack, the enemy then gets a roll to see if he dodges, if he doesn't, i make a third roll to see how much damage you do.

But how are we going to know if we want to join or not?

Also, type your turns in Word before you post it. It'll help a lot, seriously.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

Yeah, but we need to know whats going to be going on other than a Nuclear Wasteland. Anyways, in. You are right, RTDs are most of the time fun.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.

Name: Ted(Everyone calls him Crazy Ted, though)
Age: 25
Bio: Was born quite smart, but he hit his head when he was young, and as a resuly lost the ability of forethought. Combine this with an impatient mind and you have a recipe for disaster. This is actually the reason he left his home; he wanted adventure, and didn't even once think about the consequences, about saying goodbye to the ones he knew, or bringing supplies. The thought first occurred to him when he found himself thirsty a couple of miles into the wasteland. He still didn't remember to say goodbye to his loved ones, though.
Item: A backpack stuffed with food.

Name: Ochita
Age:20
Bio(optional): Ochita was just a boy when his mother and father were killed by the raiders. Ochita managed to escape after hitting one below the belt. He moved from area to area until he met some people who were going to explore the world. Not knowing what to do he flipped a coin. He joined them
Item: Ochita has a gun with him, it only has 1 bullet left. If he can't take anymore. Its not even that powerful. (WW2 Mauser)

So we can be lawful evil, chaotic evil, or chaotic neutral. Huh. I guess I'll be Chaotic Neutral (scavenger).
lol i'm dumb

Name: J-4
Age: 8
Bio: J-4 was a relatively simple cleaning robot, and life was good. He had friends, work, and a nice place to plug in for the night. Then everything blew up, and found himself scavenging the wastelands for spare parts and battery components. Of course, he was luckier than most- he had been polishing the suits of power armor that night...
Item: Shitty Power Armor. It wasn't top of the line when he put it on, and it could really, really use some maintenance from someone with more than the basic skills a robot janitor would have. Still, it's a hell of a lot better than getting sand in your joints.
