Every turn consist of the rollers (players) posting their actions. I then post the result.

Your actions' success probabilities are determined with a 12-sided dice. The success layout works like this:

1-4 = Failure
5-11 = Success
12 = Epic success

Your success probability is also effected by certain conditions you have. For example, if your action is "Eat cake" and you have a condition that says "Missing Teeth", that may cause some problems for you.

Another thing to keep in mind, doing impossible (what is "impossible" depends on theme) things usually tend to completely fail. Like, creating a magic sword out of thin air.

Simple actions, such as walking and talking, aren't influenced by the dice roll. You can have a simple and a major action in the same turn.

Turn-posting format:

> Walk to John and punch him.
"Take that sucker!"


Note how actions are bold and underlined, while speech is in quotes and not underlined. The "punch" action will be affected by the roll, while 'Take that sucker!' and "Walk to John" will not.

In the game, you have limited space in your inventory and a limit on how many things you can wear. If you have some sort of bag equipped, you can use it to expand your storage space. Remember: Inventory is for 'used' or 'held' items, like swords and books, and Equipped is for clothing/armor. An asterick (*) at the end of an item name indicates that you are currently holding that item in your hand(s).

Abilities let you do things you normally can't do, or they boost your performance somehow. If you had the ability "Photosynthesis," you would regenerate health in the sun. Active abilites are abilites that you can conrol, while passive are automatic. You gain abilities through experiences, reading a book, or learning from someone else.


A new feature in this RtD is the energy system. Special abilities that you have will cost a certain amount of energy to use, and depending on your character, you can use more energy than the required cost to apply a stronger effect. You will only use up energy to cast a spell if you successfully cast it; being interrupted before you cast will not cost you energy.

The amount of energy you currently have will be stored in the Mana stat.


The minimum amount of energy an ability requires will be placed at the end of the name of the ability. Example:
Lightning Bolt (Cost: 3)

Abilities that act like buffs/roll modifiers increase in effect the more energy you put in.
Power Flow (+1 Strength/Speed Base, +1 Strength/Speed EE) (Cost: 2)

That means that using the minimum cost of the ability (Base) will increase your roll for strength and speed by 1. For every 1 Extra Energy (EE), 1 more strength/speed modifier is added. So, casting Powerflow with 4 energy will boost your strength and speed by 3.

The maximum amount of energy you can put into a spell/turn is noted by your Intel stat.

To use an ability with a certain amount of energy, you would have:

> Shoot a Lightning Bolt (3) at that fish!
