An Evolving RPG:

WELL THEN, let's see how your opponent reacts.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[mastin2]

SO close.
And yet...

MechaGoomba, you're up!

[mastin2]

(Also prodded ani and KTS.)

[swyellowtail]

Interesting... well, I don't have to worry about doing those first three fights again.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Though, this is when things turn into a crawl, especially since 40+ rolls is nothing to laugh at. (We're looking at 40-85 rolls, barring no ties happen at all, because nothing happens if there is a tie, unless my math is wrong)

Slight suggestion: XdY for combat, so instead of having to manually roll one at a time, you can speed things up a little bit. And to prevent having a billion rolls at once, perhaps just setting a cap (like in this case, 5d6).

Oh, and of course, the person doesn't get themselves killed, because that would just reset progress, so yes, this is all

in a row

. Yikes.

I didn't expect to be auto-placed back in the campaign.

[KuroiXHF]

Out of curiosity how do we roll dice?

[Gamma Emerald]

Use the dice tag in the preview menu

[KuroiXHF]

Use the dice tag in the preview menu

I tried but this is all that pops up:

[Gamma Emerald]

you gotta type the number and type of dice like this
1d6

[Cheery Dog]

Code: Select all

[dice]1d6[/dice]

For your default six-sided die

[Killthestory]

oh my I didn't realize I was in. Thought I'd get a PM or sum ting.

It's not so easy to clear Level 1.
Maximum 17 rolls per fight, you need to win more than 7 of them to survive. A quick check on wolframalpha says the odds of that are roughly 68.5%.
Therefore, the chance to win five

consecutive

fights is 68.5%^5, which is... about 15.13%. All in all, your survival rate has only increased by roughly 21% over Level 0. And the overall chance to reach Level 2 from a fresh start... about 1.89%.

Ircher: To make your maths not suck, you should remove ties from the chance altogether. 15 "win" outcomes, 6 "tie" outcomes, 15 "loss" outcomes. Since a tie results in a reroll, you can remove those outcomes from consideration altogether, meaning the winrate isn't 15/36 but instead 15/30 - precisely 50%.

[Gamma Emerald]

JDGA I just stated that before, but thanks for summarizing.

[mastin2]

That'd work right now, but would become problematic later-on.
At some higher level, XdY die will actually be introduced.

It's not so easy to clear Level 1.
[-snip-]

I'll make you a deal: If both of our current level 1 adventurers die before anyone else reaches level 1, without reaching level 2, then I'll reduce the enemy's die to 1d5 for Levels 0 and 1, with the understanding that it's not a permanent reduction.

With two adventurers at that level, I'm not really expecting them to

both

die (maybe one), so if they do, I owe the players an apology.

Rolls to be posted momentarily.

sdyellowtail makes a mighty swing, and their opponent makes their move in response.

Original Roll String: 1d6

animorpherv1's opponent rolls.

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Killthestory's opponent rolls.

[mastin2]

swyellowtail's opponent cannot evade, yet alone, counterattack, thus, gets clobbered.

swyellowtail:

10 HP. Your roll.

Opponent:

7 HP.

ani, unfortunately, dies again.
However,

Killthestory

wins and is up for a second fight!
Also,

randomidget

is back in.

72% chance says they both die, so I suppose we'll see what happens.
Giving the enemy a d5 would improve the chance of winning a single round from 50% to 60%. As such, the "Level 0 survival rate" goes from from 12.5% to 21.6%, and the Level 1 survival rate from 15.13% to 61.75%. Given how that's a huge increase for Level 1, if you want to keep the chance relatively low, maybe just tweak the HP values for Level 1 (or reduce the fights required instead). If you want Level 1 to be a lot easier, though, d5 is probably the way to go.

sdyellowtail makes a mighty swing, and their opponent makes their move in response.

Original Roll String: 1d6 (STATIC)

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

Who's sdyellowtail? Typographical errors are silly.

Anyway.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Also, thanks JDGA for elaborating on the number of rolls per fight. 40-85 is a pretty giant jump, honestly, especially when you compare it to a measly 3 rolls -- albeit you need to get three rolls higher than your opponent three times in a

row

*, which isn't exactly easy, either.

*Okay, you don't need to do it completely in a row, but I'm ignoring ties, as anyone should, because right now they don't do anything beneficial or detrimental.

[swyellowtail]

That's one pretty much guaranteed hit on me. Rip.

[Randomnamechange]

ALRIGHT RANDOM IS HERE TO LAY DOWN SOME JUSTICE
...
how do you do the dice thingy

[Randomnamechange]

Original Roll String: 1d6

[Randomnamechange]

off to a great start!

Thank you!

Does this RPG have any narrative?
