So I've been having trouble getting out of bed recently and I read somewhere that the best way to get out of bed in the morning is to have something that you want to do in the morning. So I figured that doing an R2D update would be quick thing I could do every morning and would be something I couldn't easily do in bed, which would give me motivation to get out of bed.
Don't know what R2D is? I'll quote the rules from Roll to Dodge: Ludicrous Edition to explain:

Don't know what R2D is? I'll quote the rules from Roll to Dodge: Ludicrous Edition to explain:
This is a simple game based off the original Roll to Dodge by Seon.
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 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.
Note that attempting an action requiring an intermediate action (i.e. starting a car with no keys) automatically fails. Also note that the same action cannot be taken twice in a row. Take heed that your GM is unstable, and may tweak the playing field independent of player actions. Almost anything goes, but be warned that metagaming will anger the D1C3 G0D, who may unleash the wrath of Dr. Hax upon you.
Other Important Notes/Changes from Last Game:
- Each player may submit one action per turn (unless I say otherwise).
- As the whole point of this game is to get me up in the morning, I will usually update in the morning (AEST/ADET timezone). Don't get it in by then? You snooze, you lose.
- All players start in their bed, waking up from a restful night's sleep.
- Death is not the end, but merely a new beginning.
- I will make a reserve post and then the game shall begin...
