An Evolving RPG:

[Felissan]

There's gonna be one that's unlocked at level 165. Unfortunately, it will be the hardest one to reach by a long mile, with a 0.023% chance of surviving the month-long grind for a party of 3 Paladins, 1 Red Mage and 1 Raccoon (all at level 164), and even less for any other combination.

[Randomnamechange]

Do I count as two towards that if my Raccoon is a paladin?

[mastin2]

Does this RPG have any narrative?

Maybe you've noticed this, but each level has combat more detailed than the last! Level 0 is just literally, "oh, do this" and "this is the result", but Level 1 is increasing that and Level 2 will take it further.

So, right now...only barely, but if you continue to level up...eventually! The evolution of this RPG is not just in the mechanics.

[mastin2]

As so. (Compare the two.)

swyellowtail's opponent, hit by the prior attack, takes a firm stance, and while swyellowtail prepares a follow-through, attempts to make a move.

randomidget's opponent rolls.

Do you revert to level 0 if you die, or do you go into the back of the queue at the level you're currently at?

This has probably been stated somewhere else, but I'm too lazy to look.

[swyellowtail]

Rip randomidget.
Round 3:

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

PEDIT: You do not lose your level if you reach level 1+ (provided the game allows it).

[mastin2]

In a close encounter, ultimately,

swyellowtail

's opponent is slightly faster on the uptake, landing a blow.

swyellowtail's HP:

9

Opponent:

7.

randomidget

, the good news is, you've now earned yourself a place on the memorial wall.
The bad news is, it's commemorating those that have fallen, so

Aronis

is back in the game!
(Okay, so I might make Level 0 deaths a little more colorful than I should, but they're the most fun to watch. )

[mastin2]

Do you revert to level 0 if you die, or do you go into the back of the queue at the level you're currently at?

Right now, you lose it.
A future level unlocks a "save game" feature.

[mastin2]

swyellowtail takes a firm stance, swinging a mighty blow.

Their opponent will need perfect reflexes to stop the attack from connecting.

[mastin2]

swyellowtail connects with a hard blow!

swyellowtail's HP:

The Current Party

1. Killthestory (
   1/3
   )
   
2. swyellowtail (
   Level 1
   ;
   1/5
   )
   
3. Ircher (
   Level 1
   )
   
4. MechaGoomba
   
5. randomidget

Hang on a moment. Last I checked I didn't defeat a single enemy at this level yet. Yes, I am fighting, but he's not down. Unless the italics means the first fight is in progress.

Anyway...

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[swyellowtail]

I... deserved that.

[mastin2]

Happy accident, that.
Mod error, patched to say you're fighting 1/5. That'll be a handy indicator later-on.
Anyway...

swyellowtail, gloating, doesn't recognize the incoming counterattack.

Their opponent needs to epically fudge their attack.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[mastin2]

...And it turns out, in a stroke of luck, they do exactly that;

swyellowtail

survives unscathed, albeit dealing no damage.
Combat resumes!

[swyellowtail]

This is.. interesting.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[swyellowtail]

Oh god, two in a row.

[Killthestory]

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

[StaplerTowel]

Stapler has entered the queue!

[Aronis]

Third time's the charm, right?

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

[Aronis]

well that's an improvement

[mastin2]

swyellowtail sees the failed attack, and reciprocates!
...Fully!

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

Killthestory's opponent rolls.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (5) = 5

Aronis's opponent rolls.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[mastin2]

swyellowtail

fumbles, and is clobbered by their opponent.

swyellowtail's HP:

8.

Opponent:

6.

Killthestory and Aronis both advance!

Killthestory needs just

one more

victory in order to level-up!

[swyellowtail]

Yup. I deserved that.

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (6) = 6

And probably this too!

[Aronis]

Original Roll String: 1d6

1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

[Aronis]

Yessssssss, this is going much better
