This idea looks so hardcore, but as for the number part of it, I would have no idea.

It would be super fucking hardcore. I thought about maybe giving units a range and when a summoner attempted a summon, I'd roll a die for it, and the result would be the number of that unit they would get.

Example: PC Necromancer Leonid - SUM: Norm. Skeletons [1-100], Norm. Zombies [1-50] - UNIT: 456 Norm. Skeletons, 123 Norm. Zombies
Summon Normal Skeletons.

[d100]--> +57 normal skeletons
---

Then perhaps you could have 'mutations' to upgrade these base units.

Example: PC Necromancer Leonid - SUM: Norm. Skeletons [1-100], Norm. Zombies [1-50] - UNIT: 513 Norm. Skeletons, 123 Norm. Zombies - MUT: Brute Zombies [1-10]
Mutate Zombies~ Brute.

[d10]--> +4 Brute Zombies (-4 Norm. Zombies)
---

This would work perfectly if I could figure out how these units' stats would work out.

I'm working out a way to assign guns numeral based "damages" from 1 to 10, which will then reflect on a chunky salsa system, so that guns act at least semi-reliably (You fire the AUG! The bullets glance off the enemy's arm! One bullet strikes them in the head! Instant death!) should not happen.

1- Less Than Lethal. You're gonna need to get crafty with these kinds of weapons as few can even break the skin. Against armor, most are 100% useless. Aside from dart guns and tasers, finding new ammo generally solves your damage problem.

2- Lethal. You can deal killing blows, but on average, these rounds won't kill an unarmored target without an efficient shot, and will have trouble against armor of any kind.

3- Working your way up the ladder, wounds given by these weapons can cause bleeding out, although again, they aren't immediately fatal.

4- Bleeding out is faster, and now any hit to the torso is lethal (including the abdomen.)

5- .50 Cal, kinda. The highest most normal weapons will be capable of doing, but most are immediately fatal and cause severe damage even when not lethal.

6- Guaranteed to break whatever it hits. Guaranteed to cause bleed out.

7- Rips apart whatever it hits with pure force- get hit in the arm, and you won't have it much longer.

8- Immediately fatal.

9- Immediately fataler, does some damage on a near miss.

10- Will tear you apart even if it misses.

I think a 10 would be along the lines of nuclear weapons and orbital bombardments.

lvl 10+ roll a 6= TPK

also since this is clearly for an RTD perhaps the class/level of gun can modify the roll somehow?

I had a terrible idea recently.

Whose Roll is it Anyway?
The RTD where everything is made up and the points don't matter!

Welcome one and all, ladies, gentlemen, and dwarves of all ages, to the entertainment event that you'll be thinking about until the end of the page. Ripped blatantly from the transcredible-televisual antics of Whose Line is it Anyway, this RTD is about having fun, being minimalist and making yourself (and hopefully other people) laugh.

Four players will enter a round of play, two permanent players and two rotational. Each round is made up of three unique scenarios, and each scenario has a twist (see below for tentative twist list) that the players have to follow. Each scenario will only last from 5-15 rounds total (dependent on die roll and GM) and the players have to do their best to complete it in that time. Of course, there's no penalty for not completing a scene, it's just to give you a time limit. The Two rotational players will be swapped out randomly for players in the player pool at the end of each round, while the permanent players will stay on until they swap themselves out.

Example 2, Quotations only, Player A (or D), Roll to Roll to Dodge, Derm.

Hell, any Quotations only where the player is assigned quotes from Derm.

Well, there's no way this can go wrong on my schedule. Admittedly, I'll have to do zero bookkeeping for this RTD, and the players should theoretically be doing most of the legwork.

Screw it, it's 11:30 on a monday. I'm wearing sunglasses, and I'm going to make a terrible decision. Game is up.
