Roll To Dungeon - Asylum

tlc2011 · Jun 24, 2014

HELLO GUYS I'M BACK.

So, anyway... Yeah, welcome to my attempt at a forum game. It was inspired by

>Roll To Dodge
>Rogue Survivor (most of the sprites you'll see are custom/default Deon graphics, they're cool)
>donjon's generators

So, yeah. This is a modification of the classic RTD forum game genre. In which you play as a randomly generated character, guide him throughout a dungeon or two and try not to die.

ORIGINAL RTD RULES

The GM (Game Master) posts a situation the players are in. The players then post their actions, according to the conditions GM sets. The GM then rolls for the actions' results, and writes them out in his post. Then the players post actions again, ad infinitum.

The action results are defined by a six-sided die roll:
[1]: Epic Fail. Your efforts only worsened your situation.
[2]: Fail. Your skills or luck were insufficient.
[3]: Meager success: The situation didn't improve by as much as you have intended.
[4]: Success: Your efforts were sufficient to achieve your goal.
[5]: Epic Success: Your skills and luck have combined to ensure your success.
[6]: Overshot: Your efforts were more than required for the goal's completion, and your luck is such that unfortunate side-effects are inevitable.

If at any time something threatens a player, that player may make a roll to avoid the threat.

For each action, any number of rolls may be made, as determined by the GM.
Primary causes for multiple rolls include, but are not limited to:

* Actions explicitly composed of multiple actions
* Actions that imply other actions that are not declared free

For every dodge roll, any number of additional rolls may be made, as determined by the circumstances, and any skills or special effects applied to the player.

Each successive dodge roll during a turn, unless it is a dodge against the same object or character, will get a -1 bonus.

If you are Stunned, Dazed, or otherwise receive a temporary penalty to overall or individual rolls, this penalty lasts until your next action is resolved, and not through the whole turn.
If you receive a long-term effect that has the potential to alter itself, you get an Effect Resistance roll immediately after your action is resolved to determine the spread and consequences of the effect.
If you are Unconscious, whatever penalty you receive will not reduce your roll score below 2, unless stated otherwise.
If you receive a mortal wound but are not killed outright, you need to pass a roll to dodge Death at the end of every turn. Only bad rolls here will provide penalties to survival rolls.

You can spend your turn to help another player achieve his goal. If your roll is higher, it is taken as the success roll for the action.
You can also spend your turn to botch another player's action. If your roll is higher, its opposite is taken as the success roll for the action.
In both cases, individual player rolls determine what happens to the players in the course of the action.

MY RULES

The Roll rules are as normal (1 - Epic Fail, 6 - Overshot, so on, so forth) You can't set up your own character - though you can, at certain points, suggest how new characters look like. In addition, if the randomly-generated character dies, I'll make a few sprites and let you choose.

Well, I should probably explain a bit more. You suggest actions and/or vote for other actions. The ones with the highest votes get rolled or done, depending on whether they require a roll. For example, Look At Graffiti and Kill Zombie both have 5 votes. Only Kill Zombie is rolled, because it's not exactly hard to look at graffiti.

You begin in a dungeon. You cannot actually leave the dungeon, as I don't have any way of making a map for that. Instead the shops and whatnot are spread all through the dungeon. Every now and then there's a town level, which is a bunch of people sharing rooms. No monsters to be seen, lots of shops and a hospital to rest in.

This particular Roll To Dungeon - the original - takes place in the modern age. More specifically, you're locked in an asylum which is currently experiencing a miniature zombie apocalypse, in addition to a few Other Things. These Other Things will be foreshadowed, hinted at and outright cameoed every now and then. These Other Things will take the form of Bosses. Everything else is either normal or MiniBoss, though the MiniBosses do indeed drop great loot.

Now, I'll admit, I only went with the Modern Asylum setting because it lets me use Deon's badass RS sprites, but it also allows me a bit of leeway with the Other Things. (In case you're wondering, I would do Battle for Wesnoth sprites if this was medieval/fantasy.)

I'll probably add stuff to this as we go on, just so you know.

So... let's get started.

TURN 0

Your memories flow back to you... Your name is Lincoln Zahra. You're a trucker. Er, were? You don't remember why you're here.

Stats:

Lincoln Zahra: Male Trucker. Str 15, Con 6, Siz 14, Int 6, Pow 13, Dex 11, App 9, Edu 12, San 65.

You wake up in a room. From what you can see, it is an asylum cell. There is a lot of bloody graffiti on the wall, most of which is bizarre symbols. There is a corpse holding a baseball bat on the floor and two skeletons directly south of you.

What do you do?

EDIT: Should make it clear that these are enemy skeletons, not corpses.

Get back on the bed and go back to sleep. It's too early to be dealing with this kind of shit.
