Just go with something abstract, like this one. It's a race in a maybe distant, maybe not future on maybe Earth, maybe not. There are guns. The end.

Edit: well, on second thought I will probably lack dedication to actually run a game. Maybe someone wants to use my idea and go with it? :)

I was interested in running a sequel myself. Not entirely sure any major changes, though was thinking of adding an armour penetration value for weapons.

Also, reducing armour/weaponry/special rolls to 2? :(. That would be my face!


I'm in for any and all wacky death races that are hosted. This has been really great. :3

XD it's legendary! It's wacky races, but in RTD and with possibility of death! :P (and let's be honest, who didn't like Wacky Races, or the film, Rat Race!)

Well, seems like I won't scrap extra weapons and such but will instead increase the amount of rolls a turn to 4. Also, Yay for sequels.( and prequels, offshoots, merchandising,...)

Still, fix the armor system :)) , It's Death Race for a reason as long as it's hilarious. The mental imagery of a burning wreck of an aircraft cruising across the finish line while another wreck falls right from the sky just 1 step before it would be nice to see. Include the player reaction for added effect.

I thought for a mechanism, which if I run a sequel will be implemented, where dodging comes from your speed, and distance from firer. The faster and further away you are, the likelier... likelyar... lik- the greater the chance of dodging. At the same time, the faster you do, if something goes wrong (like a hit to the engine) the worse the consequences. I also figured that armour will slow you down, unless you really good rolls and ask for sophisticated light armour (which, ofcourse, means the armour won't be as good, but)
It saves from someone having D10 armour being as fast as someone with D6, and opens up for different styles of racing. Course, specials could increase dodging, like a stealth system. But that means one less special on things like weaponry, so I think it balances out.

I would figure that, planes would be the fastest mode of transport, but crashing, or crash landing's become a dangerous consequence. Ground has the next best and is probably the most reliable. Water mode is least fastest with a risk of sinking, but gain the most shortcuts and the greatest armour. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

(PS. It'd be my first RTD, actually my first RP hosting ever. I'll certainly do a smaller RTD first, probably over the Easter Break. Thinking of setting up actual mechanics of this in that time and start running this over the summer hols, so I have plenty of time. Course, if there's like... another 2 up, I'll wait longer. :3)

Weapons 'll be significantly stronger in the next edition.( Armor will remain the same). A 6 might net a weapon that has d12 damage and d12 accuracy( That's not that much actually, I see if I canmodify that.) I also intend to rework repairing, so that patching up things gets harder.

Additions/changes to next version:

- Crew will be capable of boarding and stealing. Will require people to race next to each other.
- Probably around the world. Now we can take the scenic route:
Spoiler: Scenic route (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Not so scenic route (click to show/hide)

Changes:

- Damage will be represented by hp numbers. ( Makes things more accurate, and allows little damage to accumulate)
- Main character no longer eats food
- 1's rolled in searching/repairing will have bad effects

Other to be added that I might have forgotten.

Scenic!

I like the idea of 1 for search/repair to be bad, but an automated repair system (that you'd have to spend a construction roll on) should mitigate it significantly.  Ditto with search rolls.

Of course, construction rolls can do almost everything.

Turn 31: Just a generic turn

Quote from: Player Actions
Part1:
Luke Prowler: Activate turbo boosters, activate jamming systems, race
Toaster Roll 1: Roll 1: Race (Free ammo: Missile)
Dariush 1: Search for fuel
Armadillo Action 1: Race
Scelly:Roll 1: RACE. Activate point defence turrets.
Monk Action 1: Kamikaze Drone vs Scelly's Engine + Storm +3 vs Ground
Tyrin: All hands, Repair! ( Buy another booster)

Dariush looks for fuel.[5+2] He finds 2 fuel units. Tyrin and his crew set out to repair his ship [2][3][4][3]. They are succesfull and manages to fix it up completly. Monk fires one of his drones at Scelly. They lock on easily[6] on the STarrunner[2+1,2], and manage to hit[6] his engine [4]. It is slightly damaged.

Luke activates his boosters and races away[3+5], dragging Dariush behind him. Toaster follows [6+4]. The armadillo follows too[3+5]. Scelly gives chase too Monk[2+6]*75%, flying right through the canyon.

Quote from: Player actions
Part2:
Luke action 2: Race
Toaster Roll 2: Roll 2: Search laser ammo
Dariush Action 2: Race
Armadillo Action 2: Search for fuel
Scelly: Fire Aircannon at Monk 12
Monk 12: Race past the obstacle! (into the shortcut if I make it that far)
Tyrin: Race and stop at the Maintenance.

Luke continues to race[4+5], dragging Dariush[3+4] behind him. [24/2=12]. Monk races [5+5], hitting [1] the obstacle but it leaves no dents in his armour [7] he flies out of the Canyon, continuing along the shortcut. Tyrin races too [2+3], making it too the maintenance.

Scelly fires his aircannon[4] at Monk but it misses[5].

Toaster looks for Laser ammo[6][2], he finds 4 laser ammo. Max looks for fuel[3][4]+1. He found 2 fuel units.

That night:

The armadillo trundles onward[1+5]

Weather forecast:(Extremely nice, nice, cloudy, raining, stormy ,heavy storm)[4] Rain again
(Nothing-Minor annoyance-Annoyance-Progress impeded-Possible path blockage-Chance of random damage)(The last 2 only happen during storms)

Land[4+3](No Monk, you did it again). Still considering the weather isn't really stormy, the only thing the system can accomplish is that all ground units get a -1 to speed next turn, and that Searching is impossible next turn
Air [1] Nothing
Water[6] The canyon river is starting to get rather wild. Danger arises for 136 to 145.

Leaderbord:
Monk12: 150( Shortcut: 1 tile left).
Luke Prowler:137
Dariush: 137
Scelly: 135

His dream may or may not be the result of telepathy, alien tinkering or magical faries that are bored.

Dariush climbs out on the top of the WorldConq and screams 'SUPERSONIC HITCHIKIIIIING!!!' at the top of his voice while doing the WRY pose and almost gets knocked off in the process. Then he climbs back in, makes a plane out of the nearest sheet of paper, scribbles something on top and sends it to Luke to whom he is tethered by the robopincers. Naturally, it misses his window.
