CloseI have been bored with some of the threads lately and need some forum action to derail my game. As the last remaining champ of rmn mafia (rip Tardis-pours out some malt liquor) I thought that it was my right, nay, my responsibility to start a new mafia game. I was going to make a mafia thread with a medieval theme but then I thought "Why not host a roll to dodge game instead?"
If you aren't familiar with roll to dodge, it is a little like dungeons and dragons (I guess?) but is easier for people to get into without learning a million things.
Easy Guide
1. Players sign up and prepare
2. host/dungeon master makes story and throws stuff at them
3. players submits a line saying what they want their character to do
4. host/dm rolls a 6 sided dice to determine and post results of their choices
Roll Basics
roll 1 = epic fail + backfire
roll 2 = fail
roll 3 = can succeed or fail
roll 4 = barely succeed
roll 5 = succeed
roll 6 = epic success
Stats
Attacks go through 1-2 rolls. The first determines if it connects. If it does, there is a second roll to determine the amount of damage.
Attack:
roll 1: Hit = Chance that you will connect.
roll 2: Dmg = If you do connect, this is the damage that you do.
Defend:
roll 1: Evade= Chance that you will evade an attack.
roll 2: Block = Determines the damage that you take when you do get hit.
Step One: Choose your gender
Each gender has pros and cons.
Male:
Hit: -1
Dmg: +1
Evd: - 1
Block: +1
Female:
Hit +1
Dmg: -1
Evd: +1
Block: -1
Step Two: Choose your class
There are 3 classes: Knight, Soldier, and Peasant.
Knight - Rare. Knights get the most starter cash. However, if you pick knight and lose the roll, you become a peasant.
Soldier - Normal. Soldiers get a decent amount of starter cash. There is no roll when choosing soldier. All are auto-accepted.
Peasant - Common. Peasants get barely any starter cash. However, if you pick peasant and win the roll, you get a random special class.
Step Three: Get your starting $$$
Step Four: Spend your starting $$$
(You can buy anything equal to or below your class.)
Weapon:
type info:
Armor:
note: rigid armor carries a -1 evade penalty.
General:
If all of this seems complicated, Do not worry about the details. You do not actually have to know what the numbers mean to play.
This game is very open-ended. If you decide to turn and strike the guy next to you on the head with your battle axe, you can (but expect everyone else to retaliate). If you decide to spend your turn sneaking or looking for an alternate path, you can. To make an action during the player-turn phase just write something in bold.
To Join:
post
1. Your gender
2. Your preferred class
This game will have an ongoing open enrollment but before we begin we need a party of adventurers. Once we start more people can post to join any time. Just ask to be added. Within the next few turns I'll try to work all the newcomers in the story.

Step Three: Get your starting $$$
Once you have signed up and told me your gender/preferred job class, I'll roll the peasants/knights to see what the person is going to be and then dole out the coin. Then you can pick your start gear with it.
Knight starts with $225
Soldier starts with $155
Peasant starts with $45
Knight starts with $225
Soldier starts with $155
Peasant starts with $45

So much for my crazy ideas of being a Female Mage (though I suppose that might be possible with a "random special class" roll) or a Robot Peasant (I WOULD SPEAK IN A FLAT MONOTONE VIA AN ALL-CAPS MODIFIER AND NEVER USE CONTRACTIONS. ALSO, I WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY, IN-CHARACTER, "ERROR OF TYPE: STUPID USER." WHENEVER THERE IS AN "ABSOLUTE FAILURE".).
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.

There doesn't seem to be anything stopping you from being a robot peasant.

Bingo. I want to be a robot peasant and I'll spend all my cash on this very special rocket module.

So I basically ignore the gender bonuses/penalties since the character doesn't have a gender? That's fair by me. I'm doing this.
Gender: Robot
Class: Peasant
Equipment:
Large Dagger, or if one prefers, "retractable cutting edge". (30 GP left)
RXZ-8 Battle Computer. (0 GP left)

Waterskin 5
Cloak 10
Torch 5
Rope 5
Total: 145, leaving 80
EDIT:
yes, I am topless. But I would also like to be wearing a cloth headband, with a feather.
Also, i am assuming that if a soldier can equip something, then a knight also can.

Holly hell -- where can I get me a barrel of ale for only $10? :D
Hmmm...this game looks too confusing, even for me! I'll sit this one out and watch all the carnage...and eat what's ever left of that chicken: Ferdinand the Fowl! Yum. :D

The giant half-naked man stood in the mud in front of the keep. The ale ran through his beard as he tossed a chalice aside and smashed his helmet down onto his head.
"Gather round dogs!" he yelled with his hands raised high over head. The people drudged from place to place, backs hunched under the weight of the yokes on their shoulders. A few people stopped and stared.
"Our lord, your master..." he said pointing to the crowd with one hand and the top of the tower with the other "needs your help!" His words were moving but nothing compared to the promise of food and coin that followed.
One by one the people filed into the keep. There they signed or made their mark on the enlistment papers. All were fed and quartered according to their lot in life. The next morn they were called to order.
"Less than a fortnight past those goat-loving worms of Barata crossed the South'rn river and besieged Fort Gregor." He muttered pacing to and fro staring at the greenhorns. "We have lost contact with them." He was getting more agitated. "Our lord has kin in that fort!"
"If you think...lose and...live or die ..in a pig's eye!" Now he was just worked up into a frenzy of vulgarity and gibberish but everyone knew what they had to do. Reach the fort and raise the siege or at least get inside.
While preparing to leave the town one her fellow travelers asked Shortstar about her job. Shortstar responded that she was a blacksmith but was saddened by the thoughts of her struggling in her craft. Shortstar explained that people are reluctant to go to women for work on their metal. (rolled 4)
Shortstar remembered that she had left some equipment at home and tried to decide what she would do with it.
While Shortstar thought about what she would do, a man dressed like a soldier could be seen nearby atop a fine steed. Upon closer inspection, it became clear to those who were apt to notice that he was pulling a pig behind the horse with a rope. The pig fussed by tugging away from the horse and rider. It was obvious that animal was not accustomed to being pulled. However, there were no immediate problems and neither the pig nor rider appeared to be any worse or better for the situation.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn away from the horse and pig show to a strange woman flailing her arms, waving a dagger in the air, and speaking about something called "robots". She even acted like one of these "robots". It was obvious that while in this trance she truly believed that she was such a creature but to everyone else, a frightening thought washed over them: "Was she a charlatan or a prophet able to see into the future?" Only time would tell... (rolled 4)
Just when it seemed like nothing could draw the people's attention from the mad woman dancing possessed by the devil, He appeared... carrying the legendary blade that was said to be made by some chaotic elder trickster god who's name had long since been forgotten. It was said to be the salvation or destruction of mankind, the nameless blade. And it was wielded by a man named "LockeZ". (submitted entry Peasant/Male via pm - Rolled 6)
Everyone in the room could hear the people cheering outside. Without leaving his seat at the table the duke turned from the captain of the knights to the open window. The captain stood and looked down at the crowd. Gripping the stone sill he turned to the duke and told him the news of the sword's recovery. The duke waved away the information as if he were batting lazily at a fly.
"Come, sit Idida. Let us review the present situation." He said. "As a knight, as LEADER of my knights (rolled 6), I need this mission to succeed! Take the squad outside. It isn't much but I've seen you do more with less."
"If you pull this off, I'll double your holdings and see that your baron title is exchanged for a that of a Count or Marquis.
Just then a guard entered the room and announced a guest. "Presenting...Cadeon the Unflinching!" The duke and baron turned towards the visitor. The duke dismissed the baron then motioned for Cadeon to take a seat. "Ah, Cadeon, I've been expecting you." The duke could see why they called him the "Unflinching". The duke wiped his feigned excitement off of his face and slumped his shoulders. "Let me be Frank, Cadeon..." to which Cadeon replied "I thought your name Ted." They both stared at each other for a moment. "As I was saying Cadeon, I know why you are here and I know that your coin and swords have paid and bled my problems away on more than one occasion. However, I cannot simply knight every commoner that crosses my path. You do not possess the lineage in your blood." (rolled 3)
"However, I will tell you this. Just outside this tower is a group of soldiers leaving for Fort Gregor. Take it and I'll see that you get the knighthood you desire."
Just as the two were sealing their pact another commotion could be heard outside the window. However, this time the clucking came not from the people but instead from what sounded like dozens of chickens. They stood up from their chairs and crowded into the window to see "Ferdinand the Foul." The fortune teller mouthed the word "Gonzo". He had a rope but it was clearly too heavy to bind them with. The sheer weight of the rope would prevent them from walking and cause them to be dragged instead. The Baron turned towards the blacksmith and said "What's a Gonzo?"
One by one the group gathered their things, said their goodbyes and walked together through the gate to the road and beyond. They traveled for half the day until the sun was high in the sky before one of them noticed something happening on the road ahead.
There, on an old dirt road winding through the rolling hill valleys, they could see a woman on the ground. They could not tell if she was injured or not but they could see that she was not moving.

"I will have my title, Frank," I said calmly. Steeling my face against all emotion, I appraised my fellow comrades. "However, I will honour my pledge. Given this motley band you need my help more than you realize."
I raised my fist to my chest, gave a polite bow to the Duke and walked back out of the hall.
"Come Remington!" My faithful wolfhound leaped to his feet and fell in step by my side. However, he eyed the swarm chickens with a dangerous glint. "We shall wait for the others at the rallying point." As I stepped outside, the cool morning air bit my bare chest. I reached into my satchel, grabbed my linen shirt and donned it. I then gathered up my belongings, slinging the longbow across my back and hefting my great axe and heading towards the town gate.

Alright, I order my chicken hoard over to the woman in the road and order them to stand sentry while I offer her some ale.
Sorry, somehow missed the woman lying in the road bit. EDIT'd.

Just a reminder, you can role-play what is happening like the posts above but you don't have to! However, everyone does have to put their official bold command for the current scenario--standing on the road with a woman on the ground ahead. Thanks!
For example:
Pick up rock and throw it at the woman laying in the road
ps. Some people still have actions that don't count towards their action for the day. For example, Short, LockeZ, and Idida can all access the shops back at town before taking a turn at the woman. Once they do, they'll instantly catch up to the group and can take their current turn.
