Would anyone be interested in Roll To Paranoia? A game of Paranoia, except with simplified RTD rules.

Would anyone be interested in Roll To Paranoia? A game of Paranoia, except with simplified RTD rules.

I've never played, but from what I hear it sounds like great fun. I'd be most interested to see what you do with the concept.

Anyway! I'm currently farting about with some Sponsorship rules for my Mario Kart RTD. I'm trying to flesh out the metagame aspect to be as full as the racing bits by providing some guiding rules for what sponsors can and cannot do and how they interact with one another, and from there derive a system where players can take control of an existing sponsorship group or create one of their own. I'm also hoping to get a PR aspect in there to reflect each driver/sponsor's public image, so I can give them choices between Image, Fame, and Coin (rule of 3 and all.)

Spoiler: Sponsor Stats (click to show/hide)

CEO- The Chief Executive Officer of the company, this person is responsible for all the decisions made by a company. The CEO's only stat is Image, which is indicative of how they choose what actions to take and how to deal with their drivers and competitors. CEOs have relationships just like anyone else- their relationship with their own company goes up every time they gain Prestige, and down when they lose Prestige. CEOs can be removed due to scandal- see Scandal in the Events tab. A CEO with a relationship of 0 or lower is constantly scandalized.

Prestige- Prestige is the most important stat for sponsors, because it determines the income of that sponsor. Prestige is equal to 1+ Driver Fame. Prestige can be gained by sponsoring races and by having sponsored drivers win a Cup.

Coin- Coin is used for most Sponsor actions. Coin is really the true goal of Sponsors, but you have to spend money to make money, and the Coin tied up in Kart Racing is expected to make heavy returns in the normal operations of the Sponsor. Sponsors don't part with Coin unless they expect to make more than they lose or minimize losses already suffered.

Image- Sponsors have an image they want to project, and an image they want to avoid. Further information on how this stat is derived and modified can be found below.

Relationships- Sponsors keep track of relationships with all active Drivers and CEOs, even rivals. Positive Relationships make it more likely for Sponsorship Contracts to be made and for wheeling and dealing to progress within that relationship, and Negative Relationships may cause vindictive Sponsors to target that person with Slander, Scandal and Bounties even if there is little to no money to be made from such persecution.

Spoiler: Sponsor Actions (click to show/hide)

Between Races, each Sponsor can take TWO Actions.

Sponsor Race- To sponsor a Crown, a sponsor must first have 6 Coin available to pay the victors. All sponsors interested in sponsoring a Crown indicate their intent to the MKL- if multiple sponsors wish to sponsor a race, they bid on the right. Bidding starts with the sponsor with the most Prestige, or in the case of a tie the most Coin. Sponsors can collaborate with one another, splitting the cost as well as the reward. Sponsoring a Crown gives a sponsor +2 Prestige. Prestige gains are doubled if the winner of a Sponsored Race is Sponsored by the same group- if the Koopa Korp Kart wins a race sponsored by Koopa Korp, for example.

Sponsoring a Cup works a little differently- the cost of the venue is much higher, requiring 6 Coin for First, 6 Coin for Second and Third, and 6 Coin to cover driver entry fees. Because few Sponsors are interested in spending >18 Coin on a single race, the financial burden is split up into three Shares. Each Share gives a sponsor +3 Prestige and costs 6 Coin. The process of acquiring a Share is the same as acquiring a Crown- each share is bid on individually, in order. Some sponsors try to wait and get a cheap Share, and some bid early and often to secure their Share right away. Sponsors can bid on multiple Shares- the Prestige and Costs stack. Prestige gains are tripled if the winner is Sponsored by a group with a Share in the Cup, which often results in enormous pressure on the drivers from their sponsors.

Stage Publicity Stunt- Sponsors can invest Coin to improve the Fame of their drivers. Very often, such stunts also alter the image of the driver- the driver can choose to turn down the Publicity Stunt, but doing so will damage their relationship with the Sponsor. The cost and possible outcomes of a Publicity Stunt are based on the specific stunt, but a good rule of thumb is that one Fame costs 5 Coin. The outcome is determined by a roll- a 1 removes Fame, 4-5 Succeed and a 6 succeeds but also causes an Event to arise that is dealt with solely by the driver.

Cultivate Image- Sponsors can invest Coin to alter the image of either the CEO or a Driver they sponsor. To attempt to shift one Image stat by one degree, a Sponsor spends 5 Coin and rolls a d6- on a 1 the stat shifts in the opposite direction, 4-5 succeeds and a 6 causes an Event to arise that is dealt with by whoever's Image is being cultivated.

Slander- Sponsors can attempt to discredit opposing Drivers or CEOs for 5 Coin. Slander shifts a given Image stat by one degree- on a 4-6 the Slander is credible, and the target makes a Cultivate Image check to clear their name- on a 1 they dig themselves deeper, on a 2-3 they fail to validate themselves, and on 4-6 they successfully repudiate the accusations.

Cause Scandal- Riskier than trying to drive a wedge between Sponsors and their employees using the Slander action, Cause Scandal involves framing opponents of crimes for 10 Coin. On a 1 the attempt to Cause Scandal is found out and the instigator suffers a Scandal of their own. On a 4-5 a Scandal is caused, and on a 6 an actual indiscretion is uncovered, imposing a -1 penalty to dealing with the Scandal for the target. Scandals are described further in the Events tab.

Place Bounty- Sponsors can place a Bounty on opposing Drivers.

Spoiler: Events (click to show/hide)

Between races, Events can arise. Some events are instigated by Sponsors, some arise naturally (hidden roll for each player, on a hit roll to determine what event.) Events can target Drivers or CEOs. Most are situation-specific, but the general format of each event is described in this space.

Scandal- Scandals rarely arise on their own- the most common scandals are related to poor Relationships and active mudslinging by a competitor. Every turn a driver is embroiled in Scandal, he must make a Relationship roll to maintain any current sponsorships, and he must make a roll to dodge Fame loss. Even if the driver makes both of these checks, he still takes a -1 Relationship Penalty.

CEOs embroiled in Scandal must make Relationship rolls to remain employed at their company, and if they stay they must roll to dodge Prestige loss. If the CEO of a sponsor is controlled by a player, he can step in to unilaterally decide whether to retain a driver embroiled in Scandal- retaining the driver requires the CEO to make a Relationship check to avoid both of them being fired, but also improves his Fairness Image. Even if the CEO is successful in his Relationship checks, he still takes a -1 Relationship Penalty.

How a Scandal ends depends on what caused the Scandal in the first place- minor Scandals arising from random events or enemy action only last one turn, Scandals arising from poor relationships persist until the relationship is mended.

Interview- You are interviewed by a media outlet, commonly the third party Lakitu Brothers but sometimes anther, less reputable news agency. Interviews are conducted through a combination of RP and standard RTD mechanics- successful interviews may improve an aspect of your image, while poor interviews may cause your image to worsen. If your interviewer is antagonistic, you suffer a penalty to your interview roll, while a helpful interviewer provides a bonus.

Dilemma- You are forced to choose among a set of options, normally at the expense of the other. Commonly, these are opportunities to improve your Fame, Coin, or Image at the expense of one or both of the other stats.

One-off Endorsement- You are asked to advocate for a product or ideology not directly related to one of the MKL Sponsors. Such endorsements typically pay in Coin, but sometimes affect Image, and may alter relationships with MKL Sponsors.

Spoiler: Image (click to show/hide)

Image is not indicative of how a given entity actually behaves- rather, it is the public perception of that entity. Drivers, CEOs, and Companies all have an image to maintain. Certain actions and events may alter an entity's Image. Image mostly affects Relationships, although edge cases may arise.

The image of a Company is the average of the CEO and all the drivers they sponsor. Each company is trying to project a certain image based on their intended customer base- all drivers and CEOs who reinforce this image gain a Relationship bonus equal to the degree they reinforce it, while those detract from it suffer a similar penalty.

The CEO and the Drivers have different roles in Image management. The CEO has the most active approach, and can use Company funds to influence his own image or the image of any driver. The Driver has a reactive approach, and can only respond to image-altering events.

The following is a list of Images and some ways they can be altered. Ratings go -4 -2 0 +2 +4 depending on severity of rating.

Fairness- This Image relates to how fairly an entity conducts itself. High ratings are Honorable and Just, while low ratings are Shady and Crooked. It is assumed all companies want to be perceived as Honorable regardless of their normal Modus Operandi, and will take steps to cover up their misdeeds.

Glamor- This Image is about how wealthy and extravagant the entity appears. High ratings are Glitzy and Ostentatious, while low ratings are Simple and Blue-Collar.

Straightforwardness- This Image reflects how direct an entity is in their dealings. High ratings are Direct and Forthright, low ratings are Sneaky and Underhanded.

Family Friendliness- This Image reflects whether an entity is popular with families and children, or sexy teens. High ratings are G and PG , low ratings are M and R

Marketability- This Image reflects how easy it is to identify with an entity. High ratings are Worldwide and Multiversal , low ratings are Local and Niche

Education- This Image reflects the education level of the entity, and determines which segment of the greater population identifies with them. High ratings are Witty and Intelligentsia , low ratings are Everyman and Simple

Spoiler: Sponsor Industries (click to show/hide)

The shenanigans associated with Kart racing are entirely incidental to the actual operation of the company- Sponsorship is just a means to improve their business and public image. Industries are what the Sponsor actually does, and reflect the image they need to maintain to target their intended audience.

Industries are organized by how profitable they are- each PP results in an extra d6 being rolled for starting Wealth.

Military Complex- PP3 Weapons Manufacture, Arms Dealing, and Mercenary Groups fall under this category. Military Complex favors Low Straightfowardness, Low Family-Friendliness and High Glamor.

Entertainment- PP3 TV, Movies, Radio, and Games all fall into this category. Entertainment prefers High Glamor, High Marketability, and Low Family-Friendly.

Technology- PP3 Computers, Gadgets, and Electronic Device Manufacture fall into this category. Tech prefers Low Marketability, Low Straightforwardness and High Education.

Pharmaceuticals- PP3 Medicine, Health/Beauty Care, and anything dealing with Advanced Chemicals falls into this category. Pharmaceuticals prefers High Education, High Straightforwardness and High Family-Friendliness.

Heavy Industry- PP3 Resource Harvesting, Manufacturing, and Construction fall into this category. Heavy Industry prefers Low Family-Friendliness, Low Glamor and Low Education.

Foods- PP2 Groceries, Restaurants, and Agribusiness fall into this category. Foods prefers High Straightforwardness and High Family-Friendliness.

Consumer Goods- PP2 Apparel, Appliances, and Furniture fall into this category. Consumer Goods prefers High Marketability and High Straightforwardness.

Transportation- PP2 Travel Agencies, Passenger and Freight transport all fall under this category. Transportation favors High Marketability and High Family-Friendliness.

Mom & Pop- PP1 This covers any organization that embraces their small-ownership roots. Favors Low Marketability. Incompatible with all other Industries.

To Do: MOAR EVENTS, Handling Sponsors that have more than one Industry, creating rules for generating a new Sponsor, flesh out Bounties. Questions, Comments, Suggestions welcome!

[Darvi]

Pre-in? @Darvi?

Darvi said he'll throw any pre-ins into the waitlist.

Ohohohoh even better.

I'll put them on a blacklist.

Anyways, rolls.

Basically, every non-trivial action has a prerequisite in 1-3 stats. They should always be exclusively physical or mental, as anything that would require both could be split up into two different tasks. (For instance, a block moving puzzle a la Zelda would be a)figuring out how to move the blocks (requiring Int) and b)actually moving them (which need Str). That can easily be done by separate people).

If one is better or worse than needed, the rolls are affected correspondingly. Straight boni or penalties are unrealistic though (I mean even somebody unskilled can do something incredible, and even a genius can fail). So instead, the amount of dice changes.

-The character's stat is appropriate for the task: Roll once. Take result. Simple.
-Stat is 1 degree better: Roll 2d8, take the better result. A 1 is always taken though, unless the other dice is an 8.
-Stat is 2 degrees better: As above, but with 3d8. If you have 2 1's and one 8 then the 1's override the 8.
-Stat is 3 better or above: As above, but 1's are ignored (unless you have a mutant snake's eyes i.e. 3 1's, you unlucky sod).
-Stat is 1 worse: Roll 2d8, take worse result. A 8 is always taken though, unless there's a 1 too.
-Stat is 2 worse: As above, but with 3d8. 2 8's override a single 1, though.
-Stat is 3 or more worse: As above, but 8's are ignored unless you beat the 1 in 512 chance of getting 3 8's. You also get hit by your teammates for attempting something so obviously stupid.

I'm still thinking about how critical rerolls should be affected, but they probably won't.

Health is special. One gets 5 health per degree. Unless one has worse than terrible health, in which case one still has 1 health.

[Powder Miner]

I was thinking while riding the bus today about making a "Roll to be a Planeswalker RTD." I'll elaborate in a bit but I have to walk my dog in the meantime.

Edit: Specifically, a Magic the Gathering RTD where everyone chooses a color/combination of colors/chooses colorless and then they choose a few spells and begin on an adventure of the planes!

This is where things get technical, and I suggest knowing MTG.
So the combat system, with all of MTG's stats, is going to probably end up pretty complicated. Planeswalker v planeswaler or similar combat will be easy, as it's just normal combat, but for creature-creature/ planeswalker-creature things get more complicated.
I'm thinking for every point of P/T above and below 2, they get/lose a point of bonus (this would use d8), so say a 11 human would have -1-1 onlols at this and ca attack/defense rolls but a 3/3 beast would have +1/+1. Planeswalkers would get bonuses and penalties by skills and would (usually) tend not to rely upon main combat. (Gideon Jura laughs at this and caves in faces)

Adeptus Mechanicus
[+2 to Crafting, and Rolls Related to the Machine Spirit | Starts with 4000 Credits | StartS With a Basic Servitor (-500 Starting Credits) | +2 to Intelligence, and Willpower | Starting Stats - Str:4 , Con:5 , Agi:6 , Cha:5 , Wil:5 , Luc:5 , Int:6]
While the Adeptus Mechanicus is a part of the Imperium, it has developed separately and enjoys a considerable degree of independence. Due to the great amount of power it wields, the Adeptus Mechanicus is more like an allied empire than an organisation within the Imperium. The Adeptus Mechanicus also follows a different religion from the rest of the Imperium. The religion and religious structure of the Adeptus Mechanicus is known as the Cult Mechanicus.

The symbol of the Adeptus Mechanicus is a skull, half-bone and half-machine, set against the background of a black and white cog.

Adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus are known as tech-priests. Any member of the Cult Mechanicus over the rank of menial will often be referred to as a tech-priest, though Magi and higher ranks are usually referred to by rank.

As befits the religious nature of the Mechanicus, tech-priests usually wear robes, which are usually either rust-red or white. Tech-priests are often cybernetically augmented. The level of a techpriest's augmentation is highly dependent on his rank within the Cult Mechanicus; a novice may have only one or two augmented systems, if any, while very senior members may have only a few biological organs left in their bodies.

Adeptus Astartes
[+2 to Strength, Constitution | 6000 Starting Credits | Gains two combat abilities | Starts with 3 Frag Grenades| Starting Stats - Str: 6, Con: 6, Agi:5, Wil: 5, Luc: 4, Int: 5, Cha: 5]
The Adeptus Astartes (commonly known as Space Marines, and colloquially as Angels of Death) are the most elite and feared fighting forces of the Imperium. The primary unit of organization is the Chapter, a self-contained army fully equipped with its own transport, non-combatant support staff, etc. There are around a thousand Chapters, each comprising a thousand Space Marines. There are far too few Space Marines to form the Imperium's main military forces; instead they operate as highly mobile strike forces. They are entrusted with the most dangerous missions, such as lightning raids behind enemy lines, infiltration, and tunnel fighting6. Through selection, training, and conditioning, Marines are physically, mentally, and spiritually superior to any other Imperial soldier.5

Adeptus Astra Telepathica
[+2 to Psyche, Willpower | 5000 Starting Credits | Is a Psyker | Starts with 3 Powers| Starting Stats - Str: 4, Con: 4, Agi:5, Wil: 6, Luc: 5, Int: 6, Cha: 5, Psy: 6]
The Adeptus Astra Telepathica is divided into a recruitment body (the League of Blackships) and a training body (the Scholastia Psykana). These two are united under the Master of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica and his advisory council of several hundred senior officials from the two divisions. They are responsible for the specially trained Astrotelepaths who use their mysterious powers to communicate with others of their kind across vast interstellar distances which separates the worlds of the Imperium.5-p94 Their ranks consist of psychic servants of the Imperium and these psykers have undergone the Soul Binding ritual with the Emperor. This process passes on some of the Emperor's strength of will into his servant thus protecting him from evil, psychically attuned enemies. The ritual ultimately results in blindness though there is a rare few Astropath's who are judged strong enough to warrant them not taking part in the Soul Binding with these individuals considered the lucky ones as they do not have partake in the agonising process that most Astropath's must follow. It is through the righteous persecution of the Inquisition combined with the careful testing of the Coven Masters of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica which purges any deviant mutations that are commonly associated with those beings that develop psychic potential.

Adeptus Ministorum
[+2 to Charisma, Willpower | 6000 Starting Credits | Can Obtain Priest Points | Starts with 5 Prayers (Unless stated otherwise) | Starting Stats- Str: 4, Con: 4, Cha: 6, Luc: 5, Wil: 6, Int: 6]
The Ecclesiarchy (officially the Adeptus Ministorum) is the only official state church of the Imperium. It maintains and spreads the Imperial Cult throughout the Imperium. Although the interpretation of particular Imperial Cult dogmas varies through the Imperium, any extreme deviance from its strictures is considered heresy and dealt with great severity. The Ecclesiarchy is based on Terra, its urban palace covering nearly all of the southernmost continent.

Spoiler: Sanity (click to show/hide)

Sanity is the measure of how long you can stand the forces of Chaos, and the temptations of the Warp, the longer you are in the warp the larger the amount Psyche damage you can take, and the stronger your mind is naturally the longer you can resist those forces. The lower your sanity is the more likely you are to fall to the influences, and turn on your allies, and the closer you are to allowing the tainted Chaos seep into your mind, and root itself in. Sanity can be restored through Chants, and Hymns as well as calming areas, and  such things, if an ally falls to the taint of Chaos all you must do is restore his Psyche to its former sanity levels, and he shall be able to throw off the force of Chaos rooted in his mind. Those who serve the God Emperor piously may find that his intervention can be found even in the depths of the Warp. *Rules Hidden to Prevent Exploitation*

Spoiler: Companions (click to show/hide)

Companions can be anything from a servitor armed with numerous lasers, and reinforced with heavy plates to a squad of Imperial Soldiers who have just been stranded in the Warp along with you. Companions act as fellow warriors, and such, they can aid you in and out of combat as well as act as special characters to assist you in your travels. All of your companions have their own HP, equipment, stats, and such, and some even have Sanity scores as well, keeping these people alive, and sane can prevent troubles in the future that you have not foreseen, soldiers are powerful assets in places where your death would otherwise unavoidable, and a companion mechanic may very well keep your ship going just a little longer which could make the biggest difference in the world.

You can also attempt to turn those who have fallen from the path of the Divine Emperor, and strayed onto the road of Chaos, but these companions will be far more susceptible to the influences of the Warp. They will be far stronger due to their time under the control of Chaos, but they will be a constant threat to you as long as the seed of Chaos is still buried deep in their psyche.

[Caellath]

Nice going so far. Will you add things such as Chapter-specific weapons, like the Psybolter and Nemesis weapons?

[Tiruin]

Lets stay simple there,  , for the benefit of those who don't know much about Warhammer 40k.

[Caellath]

Lets stay simple there,  , for the benefit of those who don't know much about Warhammer 40k.

If you want me to be straightforward:
a) If you want a female character, Adeptus Sororitas(Sisters of Battle). They are fanatics, but they are agile and stuff.

b) If you want a SPESSS MAHREENN, WARRIOR OF THE EMPRAH, I suggest you pick...Uh...Tiruin, I am sorry to say, but your archetype looks like an Ultramarine. Dis' a sad day indeed.
You could also try a Black Templar, Grey Knight (I'm picking this one, I guess. Maybe not, because I don't wanna break cannon by being tainted) or Imperial Fist. If you want blitz tactics, White Scars or Raven Guard.

Of course, if the GM gets to add those chapters.

[Tiruin]

((No, I meant the generalization for other players. I know enough that the Sisters of Battle (female counterparts) play a role, but are not exactly Space Marines, per se. What I did mean is the factions, I don't know enough about the temperament of each, but I like the color blue of the Ultramarines and Macragge. Grey Knights are revered  . I'd pick the Space Wolves, if a Space Marine Legion could be chosen.

And the topping, I don't get why people pronounce the Space Marines in CAPITALS and phonetically. Or is it by how they say it in high gothic or in their warcries?))

Edit: Sisters of Battle, yep, truly know how their righteous fervor goes. Purge them by flame.

Edit II: Pre-in adwarf? And thanks, Caellath

[adwarf]

You can state your chapter in your bio which may or may not give you bonuses.

[Dermonster]

*raises hand* Angry marines?

[Caellath]

1- Ultramarines are the "Ace" among the Marines, or so the fluff tries to shove down our throat. They are widely hated not because they think they are better than other chapters, they are hated because the fluff (lol, Matt) tries to convince other players that they really are. Space Wolves are the viking Astartes. Oh yeah, I forgot them. Pick Thunderwolf Cavalry, they ride giant wolves.

2- SPESSS MAHREENSS is a W40k meme.

Edit: If you want information on temperament, ask me later.
Space Wolves= Aforementioned Space Vikings.
