I would like to invite you all to make some predictions, just for fun. Responding may give you some insight into your expectations for this game compared to others, though.

I would potentially be willing to DM something, but it would have to be more appropriately Masochistic than D&D.
May I suggest Dead Earth? https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads ... st.473443/Alt of Ariel | MafiaScum wiki volunteer contributor & sysop | Identity (Mish Mash) is back | Speakeasy Secret Santa

Welcome to Dead Earth!
Information Age people have been unwillingly thrust back into the Dark Ages. If you think acid rain was bad, wait 'til you encounter fallout rain. If you thought smog was bad, you can't even see the sun through the dust cloud in the sky. You are now a part of this world whether you wanted to be or not. You must try to survive any way you can. If starvation or the cold of night don't kill you, your friend surely will (for the scrap of food that you found or the weapon that you carry). Whichever way you go, and whatever you decide to do, whether it be to conquer the world or just find your way to a place you can call home, be sure to remember one thing: trust no one.Character Creation, Part 1
Code: Select all
[b]Starting Attributes[/b] Moves: [dice]2d6[/dice] Resiliency: [dice]1d6+3[/dice] Strength: 0 Shielding: 0 Age: Consult spoilered table after rolling [dice]1d100[/dice] Height (inches): [dice]6D6+48[/dice] Weight (lbs): Consult spoilered table based on height and this roll [dice]5d6[/dice] Carrying Capacity: 30+10(Strength) Gender: "You have to choose something for yourself, so have at it." Natural Abilities: Roll 2D6 100 times for each of the game's skills, with a 12 indicating a natural ability, and a 2 indicating a natural inability. Alternately, see [url=http://web.archive.org/web/20071110221056/http://www.dreadgazebo.com/deadearth/naturals.html]here[/url]. Natural Inabilities: ^
Spoiler: Definitions
Spoiler: Age, Skills, Radiations
Spoiler: Height & Weight
Character Creation, Part 2: Once age is determined, refer to the table to replace the X's appropriately
Code: Select all
Age: Skill points: X+[dice]1d6*10[/dice] Radiations [dice]Xd6[/dice]
Character Creation, Part 3 - Player's Choice
Pick one of the following
Code: Select all
1) Add or subtract the following from either age, height, weight, initiative, carrying capacity, moves, resiliency, shielding [dice]1d6[/dice]
Code: Select all
2) Gain skill points: [dice]2d6*10[/dice]
Code: Select all
3) Gain the ability to purchase radiations in character creation at a cost of 10 skill points per radiation
Character Creation, Part 4 - Skills
-This is where it gets more complicated. Use this sheet as a reference.
-Skills start at 2d6. You automatically start with the ones that have no prerequisites, like Running. Others are locked until you increase their prerequisite skills to 4d6, at which point you get the unlocked skill at 2d6. For instance, the average person has 2d6 in herb lore, but 0d6 in haggle.
-Boosting something from 2d6 to 3d6 costs 10 skill points, then 3d6 to 4d6 costs another 20, then 4d6 to 5d6 is another 40, and so on. So it costs 30 to go from 2d6 to 4d6.
-Average difficulty for tasks is 15, and there are 100 skills. This means you will probably suck at most things. So it's best to prioritize...
-If you need stat boosts, you can get Moves from Running, Boxing and Martial Arts, Resiliency from Boxing, and Strength from Weight Lifting and Wrestling.
-Finally, any skills you have 4d6 in can have 1 "specialization" that starts at 2d6 and is increased separately. Any rolls you make with that specialization go down 1 degree of difficulty, eg. a difficult roll (24) becomes average (15).
-Outside of character creation, skill points are functionally experience points. You gain them by attempting skill rolls.
Character Creation, Part 5 - Radiations
Roll one at a time, and give me a chance to let you know your fate before rolling the next one.
Code: Select all

We'll worry about that once we find out if you survived the above.Alt of Ariel | MafiaScum wiki volunteer contributor & sysop | Identity (Mish Mash) is back | Speakeasy Secret Santa

I am going to randomly determine which non-common items will be available when I get a chance this week. I'm a bit concerned it may be confusing to have two simultaneous roleplaying things going on, so am wondering about postponing doing an actual session til Jingle's ends.Alt of Ariel | MafiaScum wiki volunteer contributor & sysop | Identity (Mish Mash) is back | Speakeasy Secret Santa

Equipment SpreadsheetNew Frankfurt is the larger of Earth's two remaining metropolises, with just under 1 million people.
(I used the equipment supplement; available items from that happen to be listed before the Players' Handbook ones on each tab. Sorry, we don't have batteries or saddles in New Frankfurt, but we do have books about South American fauna from before the war!)Alt of Ariel | MafiaScum wiki volunteer contributor & sysop | Identity (Mish Mash) is back | Speakeasy Secret Santa

So I've finally recovered from the despair of the equipment stuff. I'd like to start the Dead Earth adventure on Sunday. If no one else will join Jingle, I'm fine with him using two characters. (He can roll a die to randomly determine a character designed for someone else.)
Or if that's not of interest, maybe we can pick it up again in a couple of years!Alt of Ariel | MafiaScum wiki volunteer contributor & sysop | Identity (Mish Mash) is back | Speakeasy Secret Santa

Currently you're in New Frankfurt, one of the two remaining metropolises of the world, located...pretty close to, uh, Frankfurt. It is springtime. The climate is continental meets the smog and acid rain of the dead Earth. The road headed out of town is gravel, and there's not too much wildlife nearby -- these resources are scarce.In post 1006, Jingle wrote:
For more information, your folks may make a Navigate skill check.
"Let'see. There's four men, couple of 'em are pretty big. I believe they had three or so guns between 'em. The one I took to be the leader boasted of his tracking skills; he said the job'd be no problem. The woman's the truck driver." Hagi (apparently, pronounced Hey-guy) scratched at his facial hair. "Bringing it back's part of the job. Besides my world class trade depot, there's the [tavern with a stage], [tavern with a casino], [armor smith], [tailor], [military uniform manufacturing center], and [greenhouse].In post 1006, Jingle wrote:

"Far as the credit goes, I'll pass that along no problem. But don't shortchange yourselves -- get this done for me, and I'll happily give you the chance at other work. Best of luck." Hagi nods, smiling, and holds out his hand to shake both of yours.In post 1021, Jingle wrote:<snip>
At the trade depot, Anais is offered the books for 456 $tandards and Avedane is offered the cart for $220 $tandards. That leaves you with 334 $tandards upfront.
Paris is at least 300 miles away.

2 Water Purification Tablets = 44 $tandardsIn post 1046, Jingle wrote:Alright, so 300 miles, say approximately 10 miles a day considering that I'm going over unknown terrain and tracking simultaneously, as well as the need to bring the cart with. Potentially gives a travel time of a full month, so we're gonna buy some more rations.
Avedane is going to look for, in order:
Water x15 = 30 $tandards
Rations x21 = 63 $tandards
Flint lighter x1 (100 use) = 51 $tandards
= 188 $tandards
There's not one at the trade depot to purchase or look at even if one was desired.In post 1046, Jingle wrote: Anais, on the other hand is going to see if he can look at (not purchase) as complete a map of the surrounding area as he can.

Anais did not find a map. Someone does point out that it might be easier to find a knowledgeable resource in a less urban area where people are more reliant on this knowledge.
You can both make Senses skill checks.In post 1046, Jingle wrote: After that, both Anais and Avedane are going to go to the western exit of town in order to get going as quickly as possible. Note, they had told Hagi they would leave in the morning, this discrepancy is intentional.
The western road runs almost parallel to the creek. A small oil spill on the surfaces catches your eye. There's a definite lack of plant life. In fact, there's hardly any grass. Probably all got plucked up and used for something.
There's a few others that happen to be headed in and out this way. Going toward town is a translucent man, walking on both his hands and feet. "The forecast is fire! It will come down like rain drops," he utters.

The rock sinks. Nothing, like, explodes as a result.In post 1136, Jingle wrote:
I'm going to assume that you did this in the 4D6 rolls in your post.In post 1132, KittyMo wrote:You can both make Senses skill checks.
Anais is going to search for a rock approximately 1/3-1/2 the size of his fist and throw it into the pool of oil from a distance of roughly 15 feet. While he's doing this, Avedane is going to check the area for signs of recent fires, including scorched earth, that might suggest the lunatic is correct. She will also look at the sky checking for signs of regular precipitation.
There aren't signs of scorched earth as far as Avedane can tell. While she is peering intently at the cloudy sky in various directions, she eventually notices someone in the distance. They appear to be looking through a sniper rifle, and are standing upon a ledge back by the outskirts of town.
The road veers away from the creek to the southwest, and starts to worsen in quality, though not really to the point that the cart is unmanageable. A few hours later, a larger body of water becomes visible, with a town behind it. Waldsee Spring does in fact have a spring, which reduces the radiation collected in the pool it flows into. (Standing water is often bad news bears). There's a circle of logs where some children are seated, up on the land just by the spring. A young woman stands in the middle, vibrantly drumming. At the town outskirts is a horse-drawn cart, as well as a tavern.Alt of Ariel | MafiaScum wiki volunteer contributor & sysop | Identity (Mish Mash) is back | Speakeasy Secret Santa

Hey Jingle, soooo I was V/LA for a while. Now that I'm back, I've reflected on it, and I think role-playing in this format gives me too much anxiety because there's so many people in this thread (who I presume mostly aren't bothering to read it, but still). That's why it was taking me so long between updates. Thanks for building characters and otherwise bearing with me. Best of luck in the actual mafia game too.Alt of Ariel | MafiaScum wiki volunteer contributor & sysop | Identity (Mish Mash) is back | Speakeasy Secret Santa
