Jehosaphat

Second bit: Your choice really. First bit: Eh, I might look in to it for a different game. This one's going to stay the way it is, though.

So I picked up on a new (to me) type of RPing game from Bay12 called RTD. It typically uses a d6 and certain small bonuses to determine a player's success instead of a d20, and turns occur once all players have posted an action for that turn. [hide=The Way it Works] If you roll a... 1 - You fail epically. 2 - You fail normally. 3 - You sort of succeed. 4 - You succeed. 5 - You succeed, with a few extras. 6 - You win so hard that things start to break. Also, if you are inactive for over 36 hours, then the GM does your action for you to allow for smoother gameplay.[/hide] I figured I had the time to start one over here in the Tavern, so here goes. It's based off the old concept that someone had about all the Tavernites getting stuck in a city during a zombie invasion. Make your characters. I will allow one +1 positive perk and require at least one negative perk, and one weapon of choice. [hide=Sample Characters] Name: Pyotr McStereotypicalRussian Perks: - Hardened: Pyotr is a war veteran, and thus gets +1 to using most forms of standard weaponry. - Drunk: Pyotr is almost constantly drunk.... -1 to all rolls when sober. Bio: blah blah blah Russian blah blah vodka blah blah cold war blah blah blah Description: Tall, scarred dude always holding a jug of vodka and wearing a parka. ALWAYS. Name: Mary Sue Perks: - Genius: Mary is an expert at everything, so she gets a +1 to all rolls. - Lone Weakness: If an enemy ever figure out her one weakness, she gets a -6 for the next 5 turns. This can only happen once, though - she gets over it afterwards. Bio: Buncha crap, probably some vampires and dead parents somewhere. Description: She has a scar in the shape of a rainbow on her left pinky toe and a birthmark shaped like a star on her nose. Name: Stork Perks: - Nerd: Stork is an engineering nerd, and thus gets a +1 to all rolls involving the use or creation of improvised weaponry. - Nerd Part II: Stork is a nerd, and thus gets a -1 to all rolls involving strength or speed.

At the age of 17 he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for selling cocaine after he tried to deal in the holding cell where he was being held for selling cocaine to 6th graders as 'magic powder'. Jamal had only been employed in the office for 2 days as a janitor, and had only gone so his P.O. wouldn't ship him back off to jail. Description: Tall and muscular.

Has fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.[/hide] [hide=Icu] Name: Iku Owage (Iku for short) Perks: Zombie Survivalist Expert: +1 to all rolls that concern survival in anyway or zombies in anyway. This perk can be consumed, rendering it useless for 5 rounds for an in game hint. If I get lag out here....: Still believes his in a video game and has a random chance to have a lag fit, where he takes -2 on all rolls for the severity of the lag spasm. Bio:Having been keeping up with the latest zombie games during the outbreak, Iku was unable to tell if the real outbreak was a video game or actual real life. Believing that a zombie outbreak is redicious, he decided that he is dreaming and that the zombie outbreak is part of it.

Bookworm of death: whenever holding a book on hand, it's quite possible for him to use that as a weapon with a +1 to attack rolls. (Mostly doesn't because he doesn't want to ruin the book.)

Despite haveing such a poor memory that he has no idea what his actuall name is, he continuously calls himself Earth because he likes the sound of the name.

She absolutly hates it when people rhyme her name with "pest" Has no rapping skills whatsoever. People think she's weird because she will take a hit from a small weighted ball between her eyes and then shake her head as if it was a V8 slap. Also they think she's weird for the "bobsled" accident, where she ended up fishtailing while zooming across the gym floor on a badly put together cart and then rolling over and skidding to a stop. Description: Brown eyes, long brown hair that is always is in a ponytail, pale skin (because she doesn't like being outdoors), and is often wearing a tee-shirt and jeans/shorts (depending on the weather).[/hide] [hide=Resistance] Charlie "Compulsive Gambler" Dixon Perks: - Cheating Bastard: +1 stealth in dark conditions - Bad driver: -1 skill in driving any vehicle - Compulsive Gambler: Rolling 2 on the die results in a 1, rolling 5 on a die results in a 6. 1,3,4,6 remain unaffected Bio: Born in a small poor rural area he had a troubled upbringing, his father left at birth leaving only his bipolar mother to raise him till he was eight, frequently abused he finally plucked up the courage to fight back; he called the police and she was arrested with a broken bottle in her hand and her son bleeding on the floor.

BIO: Once upon a time, a non genre savvy branch of the government got their hands on some extra funding, bored out of their minds and more than a little bit drunk they designed to create a super soldier, this have worked rather well (as they had the necessary equipment) if they had not, as has been stated before, been drunk off of their asses. So, they each endeavored to create their own ideal super soldier (an idea which might have gone slightly better if they had not been only making two) and the first one was, as things such as that are wont to be, a completely inhuman monster. During the ensuing security breach, Grim waltzed out of the facility, with some implanted memories guiding him to...do stuff.

Bio: Blah, blah. Lifestory. Blah, blah... Description: [/hide] [/hide] I'm gonna try to keep it somewhat simple, so I can handle up to, say, 8 characters. Rolls will start in about 6 hours - characters can still be made and implemented afterwards, though.

I HAVE SPREAD THE VIRUS! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA And I read so many webcomics that I don't even bother keeping track of them all.

Nah, the guests usually show up during Aussie hours. I know this because I am often awake during Aussie hours. >.>

Yeah, it's still in the planning stages. I'm still deciding whether or not to use lines to define edges, and I'm working on a clearer plot. But I have the characters finalized, although I'm still deciding on whether or not it would be appropriate to have one specific character bashing on people's heads with a giant toaster, considering that I already have a couple of other cases of "improvised weaponry."

pie is mad

It seems like it would be good, if I didn't have to learn the names of a bunch of clans and leaders and crap to understand any of it. THE APOSTROPHES, THEY DO NOT HELP COMPREHENSION

That would require either piracy or buying the game. Neither of those are options for me at the moment.

Only 32? Wuss. On a different note, I've spent a great deal of my time messing around with Minecraft and B12 RTDs. Might start up a RTD here just for the hell of it. But it's good to be back at ol' TIF.

So my brother annoyed me into buying Minecraft. I'm currently derping around in singleplayer until I get the hang of things.

Hobo on the bus?

Yes, but those are few and far between. Pie being an ass, on the other hand, typically is not. In other news, pageget.

Nobody cares about you, either. And at least I'm not usually a pain in the ass. Wait a minute, isn't that supposed to be censored? Ass ass ass ass ass. Nope. Apparently not.

And none of you know who I am. Hah hah hah hah ha.

Halo has no life besides /fg/

Okay then, new character. Name: Carl Jones Country: Surprise me. Background: Carl got picked for excessive engineering experience and because he was known for pissing off all the right people at all the right times, then getting his sorry butt out of it.

I have.... a machete; some dull, weak throwing knives; and a few weak-ass airsoft guns. And I think I may have a crossbow lying around somewhere. This is only counting the things that were made to be sort-of weapons. Improvised weaponry.... could be just about anything I have in my room. Maybe not my drawing tablet. But otherwise..... yeah, anything in my room counts. It counts double if I ever get my hands on a lighter.

Reposting because it ironically got drowned out by accusations and arguments and stuff

Good luck, you'll need it.

Alcohol. Alcohol everywhere. Just kidding. But I'm in very nearly the same boat as your friend, so I can't be of much help. Also, lol@ pie saying every /FG/er's identity has been revealed but his.

So..... wait, what? Do I have to make a new character since we're restarting? And if so, do I make that character with a character sheet from Space No. 1, or Space No. 2? Really, all this "VOTE FOAR ME AS LEADAR" stuff has clogged the thread to where I can't find any useful info. D:

as are stork and psycho. you're all my [bleep]es. I don't care anymore.

4 users and no post? I am disappoint.
