Hello everyone! Anyway, I had a great idea... this is Roll To Dodge, but with a twist: The setting is in an arena, and you must try to kill everyone else in any way possible. And I mean any way possible...


The rules are simple:
1. Post an action.
2. Your result will be determined by the roll of a die.
Any action that triggers a third-party attack on the player immediately grants a free defence roll.

'Ludicrous Edition' increases the variability of results with a 20-sided die (actually a short Python script) that in addition to establishing the immediate success of an action, also determines random items found, health/power/money gained/lost, etc. The basic breakdown is as follows:

1 : Unbelievably total failure. Action WILL backfire.
2-4 : Failure, with penalty
5-7 : Marginal failure with possible penalty
8-10 : Failure, no penalty
11-13 : Straightforward success
14-16 : Success, with possible bonus
17-19 : Success, with circumstantial bonus
20 : MAXIMUM POWER. Guaranteed success, with added bonus.

Under binary conditions, 1-10 fails, 11-20 succeeds.

Example: I summon a Deathsword of Doom!
1: The sword chops your arm off.
11: You get the sword.
20: You suddenly find you have the skills of a master swordsman, along with the sword itself.

Also, unlike regular RTD, it takes place in turns, so battles can take place. You may only post an action once per turn.

User list:

You can start in whatever part of the arena (a square mile of grassland) you want. Go!
 
I find a personal energy shield generator.
 
That is not a twist, that is the very purpose of the game :crazyeye:


I start digging a hole
 
I see Boundless digging a hole and start filling it in with concrete if she gets deep enough to be in the hole. If not, I buy a gun.
 
I learn to fly.
 
I give everyone a heart attack
11: You give everyone... including yourself a heart attack. -10 hp and -1 on all rolls for this turn.
I use the Tsar Bomba on the arena.
19 (18) The bomb will explode in 3 turns.
I find a personal energy shield generator.
11 (10) You find one, but it's out of batteries.

I start digging a hole
12 (11) Diggy Diggy Hole! You now have a nice, 3 foot deep hole.
I see Boundless digging a hole and start filling it in with concrete if she gets deep enough to be in the hole. If not, I buy a gun.
8 (7) The concrete hardened before you could put it in, and you dropped it on your foot. -5 damage.
I turn the entire arena into bottomless pit.
20 (19) You still have a bit of land for you to stand on, and watch everyone fall. Everyone else loses -2 on rolls that involve changing direction or going to somewhere.
I summon flying rainbow ponies!
15 (14) Neigh! You lose the previously mentioned restriction.
I learn to fly.
20 (19) Not only can you fly, you can fly at high speeds! Not only do you lose the -2, you get +1 on rolls with the same criteria.
I summon a Deathsword of Doom!
19 (18) Your Deathsword comes with Heat Seeking mode, and you can throw it to target other players!
 
I gain the strength to throw the concrete at Omega for giving me a heart attack.
If Omega successfully summons Meta-Ridley, throw it at Meta-Ridley instead.
 
I grab DarthNader and fly high up, then drop him.
 
I check to see what kind of batteries it needs.
 
I make myself a bunker.
And get in it, obviously.

15 (13) Bonk. -10 hp for Omega
I grab DarthNader and fly high up, then drop him.
5 (6) His failed gravity spell made him heavy for a few seconds, and you couldn't pick him up.
I cast summon the trololo guy
15: TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL... The trololol guy is at your service.
I check to see what kind of batteries it needs.
12: It needs 4 AAs.
I give everyone Cancer
13: It's in early stages, it will effect them in 5 turns.
I use my psychic abilities to make the Tsar Bomba explode before SK can run away from it
20: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! SK: -70 hp, and the Trololol guy is almost dead. You get shielded from the blast, and other players get -50 hp.
I vastly increase the force of Earth's gravitational pull.
7: You're too tired from making the arena bottomless.
I make myself a bunker.
And get in it, obviously.
19: You don't take the -50 damage from the Tsar Bomba.
