HELLO EVERYONE

Welcome to my glorious trainwreck of a poorly-thought-out experimental RTD. I would have used the RTD testing thread, but I'm confident in my ability to make it fun. You may be wondering just how in God's name you can have an RTD about drawing a sprite comic. Well, I'll tell you:

Unfortunately, this game has met its untimely end. The comic, however, will live on, at http://ironyland.net76.net/comic/?id=1. I will be updating it not regularly at all. See the last couple of pages for my reason for stopping this.

Spoiler: The Rules (click to show/hide)

-Standard roll table. 1 is critical failure, 6 is overshoot.
-There will be four players maximum at the start of the game.
-Each player will suggest actions for their characters each turn. No dialogue, as I'm writing the dialogue.
-When all actions have been suggested, I will roll dice if appropriate (usually) and then
CREATE A SPRITE COMIC featuring the player characters.
-I will twist whatever rules necessary for making the comic entertaining.
-The setting is something vaguely resembling Final Fantasy 1/3.
-Humanoid player characters only, please!

Wait no, on second though I'll let other people have fun with this.

[freeformschooler]

I'll probably just end up dropping it in favor of MKWRTD and RTCA.

[Darvi]

In.

Sheet up soon.

[freeformschooler]

English? What English? The setting is something like Final Fantasy.

[KineseN]

Bio: As a child Blu got lost from his home. A goblin took care of him. As he grew up he learned Goblin Punch from the goblin. He then traveled far and wide to teach himself more abilities form other monsters.

[freeformschooler]

You forgot your name.

[KineseN]

Sorry, it was Blu.

[Taricus]

Edited

Also, did elves make the current language?

[Darvi]

Yes.

They speak in a dialect that one would call cockney in our world.

So we have Blu and Bob.


Need more 3-letter names guys.

Name: Jon
Appearance: Short. Has a ponytail and a goatee. Prefers wide clothing, including, but not limited to, robes, wide trousers, oversize shirts. Wears a red cape.
Bio: Always on the move, driven by curiosity, Jon was 'practically born for the role of an adventurer. Unfortunately, he never has the focus to actually finish anything he begins.
Abilities: Red Magic, Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny.
Equipment: A snazzy hat, a knife for hand to hand combat, the Crimson Cape of the Scarlet Order, a varied collection of interesting stones he found on his travels.

[micelus]

Name: Blobb
Appearance (something simple): A blob of bluish goo. Transparent.
Bio (including personality, make it funny people!): Blobb is well, a blob. He was born one night in a drunken conjuration contest in Laxtur. Unlike other summoned beasts, Blobb never disappeared. At first, the townsmen just laughed at it, then they made it one of the "6 curiosities of Laxtur". When Blobb engulfed the other 5, they locked him in a basement. For 10 years, everyone just forgot about him, until some adventurer decided that he wanted to break some barrels in the basement. When he saw Blobb, he instantly began attacking. His weapons were useless however, and he was engulfed. After engulfing the adventurer, Blobb's intelligence increased ever so slightly and he left the town, even as the townsmen were throwing things at him. Now he wanders the world, as a somewhat sentient blob of goo.
Abilities/equipment: Blobb can engulf anything. He may take on attributes from engulfed objects/people. He may also learn things from engulfing.

[Darvi]

Nooo you ruined the 3-letter pattern we set up! :<

[micelus]

Yes, but the name makes perfect sense! Blu, Bob, and Blobb!

[Darvi]

I was considering naming my character Red, but then I realized how cliché that is.
