Blobofgoo's Forum RPG

This is another Forum game that will use Roll-to-Dodge gameplay. It is a forum RPG and will be similar to LockeZ’s and Dudesoft’s forum RPG. In this one however, the category is random fantasy stuff. Abilities will work the same way and everything. Pick one ability and buy anything you want.

Roll to Dodge Rules:
'If you aren't familiar with Roll To Dodge, it's a really really simple tabletop RPG. Instead of the typical forty thousand rules, it really only has one main rule once the game starts. On every turn, each player gets to attempt one action. I will then roll a standard six-sided die to decide if you succeed:
1) Critical failure plus major backfire
2) Failure
3) Partial success
4) Success
5) Epic success
6) Success plus backfire or collateral damage (items or skills that grant a bonus to hit chance cannot change your roll from a 5 to a 6)


This means everything you do has a high chance of failing and a high chance of backfiring, resulting in typically hilarious scenarios. On the plus side, if you die, you will be revived at the next inn.

ABILITIES
When you join you can pick one usable spell or ability. Your character will have that ability. I will do my best to approximate the effects of this ability in the Roll To Dodge gameplay; it may not be as powerful as it was in the original game. You will be able to use your ability once per day.

You can also try to basically anything else non-magical that you think is realistic given your surroundings and inventory. Depending on how loosely you interpret the term "realistic," I might make the failure chance higher than normal.' (LockeZ)


As my game is very similar to LockeZ's, I used his words because they describe it well. Unlike his however, the abilities don't have to be from Final Fantasy. They can come from Fire Emblem too. Abilities can be made up, but they might not end up the same as they started to not make a player over powerful. Abilities can be passive, but they must be used in the action with the rest of your action. Passive abilities will last for 3 actions and then cool down for 3 actions. Before they were able to be anything, but as LockeZ says, that probably wouldn't be a good idea. (Dudesoft's ability is fine)

You can also pick names and species.

Available items to buy:
• Chain – 10 Gil (-1 roll)
• Rope – 4 Gil (-2 roll)

• Pegasus – 28 Gil
• Pegasus-Unicorn – 42 Gil

• Wolf – 30 Gil
• Squirrel – 15 Gil
• Electric Eel (uses ½ 1 gallon of water a “day” or dies) – 24 Gil

Available transportation to buy:
(You don’t need gas to run anything)
• Bike – 18 Gil
• Go Kart – 35 Gil
• Skateboard – 10 Gil
• Hang Glider – 24 Gil
• Propeller hat (chance of making you temporarily fly) – 20 Gil
• Roller skates – 12 Gil

The starting area will be released when at least 5 players have joined. Max of 7 players. I advise you that buying boiling water or acid will be a a waste at the beginning of the game by the way. Also, I tend to have a pretty creative mind one comes to this type of thing, so it will probably be the most spontaneous out of all of the Forum RPGs.

Closed! No more people!

Last notes: Plus rolls cannot change something to a six and minus rolls can't change rolls from a six. Also, with a convenient six people, some skills that critically fail will affect other party members. Everyone has a # in order.
LockeZ = 1
Dudesoft = 2
Xavion = 3
Nightowl = 4
Trihan = 5
MrChearlie = 6


The party looks at their surroundings. The area is too dark to see anything except a small area on the ground that is blindingly bright. Everyone tries to keep their minds off the agony that fills them. As the weary party continues searching their small dark area, Trihan finds a small crevice in the wall. The crevice is too small to be looked through, but a massive amount of light is pouring through it onto the small dot.

Actions go here!
Well, LockeZ isn't technically playing on any game, so it would be good if he played one.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

OK, I'm in. Any fantasy-themed skill at all, though? I think you need to come up with some restrictions, here....

Like, if I give myself the ability to turn planet-sized once per day, or to create a pantheon of gods once per day, I'm pretty sure that's gonna screw up your game.

Anyway, I'll wait on a ruling regarding pantheons of gods, but my inventory is definitely 3 miniature t-rexes wearing sunglasses, with 1 gold left over
Dudesoft
always a dudesoft, never a soft dude.

Can't get enough of dem rpgs...
Sign me up.

My name will be Goreteethnaut, the paladin badass.

Whip -7
Dusty, the Pegasus-Unicorn -42
Fire Proof Vest -20
Shades (x2) -3
Cape -4
Chainsaw -20
Snowball -1
--------------------
0 Gil leftover.
(one set of shades are for my Pegasus-Unicorn)

Skill: Bless
(+1 to an allies next attack roll)
I'll join, as a question can we choose a fantasy species for character? and what is the rules on abilities?. You need some kind of restrictions or at just tell us whether they're too powerful. Also can we choose a passive ability?

I am Xalos, Mistress of the Dimensions
100 Snowballs
Skill: Violation of Reality
Temporarily channel the abilities of anyone, anywhere, anywhen, anyverse.

If you post more information on restrictions I'll change what I've got but in the meant time I'm using those.

Remember when I actually used to make games? Me neither.

My character will be Zombiegook, just your average moronic cannon fodder.

I'll buy:
- Go-Kart (35)
- Chainsaw (20)
- Bulletproof Vest (20)
- Whip (7)
- Squirrel (15)

Skill: Inhale

Zombiegook can inhale and swallow living things, which gives him the swallowed thing's abilities and partially appearance (for example, if Zombiegook swallowed a fly, he would have compound eyes and wings)

Abilities can't be stacked, and Zombiegook will sometimes not perform the selected command and instead does useless things and acts like the enemy he swallowed.

OK, you changed it, kind of. I'm not sure you know what you're getting into. Giving people skills at all was probably unnecessary in a non-themed game; letting them pick any skill they want seems kind of nuts. We'll find out if you can handle it, though!

Whatever; I'm giving myself Laharl's Meteor Impact ability from Disgaea, where he summons a meteor from outer space, jumps up, and rides on it, laughing maniacally as it flies down and crashes into the enemy (and hops off at the last second).

I'm gonna say that's probably more than enough people, and he should close it at this point.

Up to him, but I can say from experience that six people is plenty.

Will the actual RPG be in a separate thread or will we just do our actions in here?
Dudesoft
always a dudesoft, never a soft dude.

"A fine mess we've come into," scoffs the aging paladin, Goreteethnaut. "Should have known better than to party with this lot... Come now, Dusty. Find us a way free from this darkness."
Have my unicorn-pegasus poke his horn at the dot of light.

Oh, you're jus adding everything to the top post? Hmm. Makes it a little harder to notice that there's been a new post, but okay.

Hmm, probably don't need more than one person to open the hole.

Well, this is RTD, so actually we probably do.

If the wall is still standing after Dudesoft's unicorn is finished, I kick the wall. Otherwise, I do nothing.

Anyone that has a helper: Please name them. It will be a lot easier to keep up with. Especially because there are 4 mini T-rexes owned!

Don't worry. Everything from here on out will be posted. All of that is just the "starter stuff."

Hmm. I'm going to name my Mini T-Rexes Oakley, Ray-Ban, and Carrera.
Well in case they destroy the wall, I wear my shades
