RADLands-1.png

Seven days ago, the world ended. Not with a bang, or with a whimper, but with a sound like a shopping cart being turned inside out.

Grab your shotgun and don your re-purposed sporting equipment - Ragnarok's come and it's time to mess shit up.

If you do not want to make a character, but would still like to bip in occasionally/fuck with the players, then do I have good news for you! Characters whose names are written in Lime may be controlled by anyone who wanders into the thread. Anyone. Just make sure to post the character's actions in Sandybrown so DE?AD notices them.

    "Guys, I'm not feeling too well..." Chuck hobbles into the ship to lie down and hopefully calm his tummy-ache.

    This isn't right, I'm not s'posed to feel like this in my own dream. If this is my dream... If this is my dream I should be able to fix it! I just gotta think...

    Maybe put it in sandybrown text. Maybe even do some rolls to determine the exact amount of fucked.

    You're right, updates pretty much are elaborate descriptions of how fucked you are.

    In the spirit of v2, all updates will now just be a Fucked rating, from 0% to 100%, representing how fucked you are. If you roll under your Fucked rating, you are fucked.

    Brutality gives a better damage bonus than Mutant Strength (1/2 or full with Heavy Hitter, vs. Strength's 1/4 or 1/2 with Heavy Hitter).

    a while back, and I'm not sure I understand. since the wording of Strength is

    [Mutant Strength][%] Your mutations have made you inhumanly strong. You gain twice your Mutant Strength rating as a bonus to [P] for strength-related purposes, including calculating your Defending penalty. This is often, but not always, coupled with the Huge Od.

    the damage bonuses work out to be identical

    I'm ten points away from dealing 50% each attack. Fuck mental assisting rolls, Dusty and Nolan got that, I should just stick with blowing people up, no one else really can do that kinda damage. Yes I'm aware DE?AD totally mentioned that during character recreation, I'm an idiot.

    COLOR="Lime"]66%[/COLOR[Ambient RAD climbs to 87%]
    The pressure valves on the water-heaters jump and dance as a loud hissing begins to fill the basement.

    Marrisylda stares at The Bro, her eyes narrowing, a blue-armored finger rising to tap against her chin. [72%] "Perhaps... you are right," she says, nodding. "A martini," she adds, in response to The Bro's question.

    Downstairs, Skiff tries to find a way into the sewer [24%], easily locating a access hatch at the far end of the basement.

    CRABBY hauls Jimothy up into the penthouse, just in time to see Marrisylda dive out the opposite window while The Bro is distracted at the bar.

    [18%][??? +17% Stress]
    Bob leaps at the monster and stabs it in the face, what with it not having any eyes. It recoils, green UI flashing wildly across its skin.

    [94%] Fire flares out across the being's shiny skin, but it dashes back before any serious damage can be done to it.

    Jack slams a leg into the writhing being, [80%][??? +70%], ripping straight through its torso, blood and bits of meat seeping from the jagged-edged hole, turned sickly black-green in the haze. The beast staggers about, clutching awkwardly at the wound before dropping to the ground, inert. Jack doesn't hang around to gloat, though, tearing off into the forest after Dan.

    Dan backpedals away from the creature, bumping against a tree and managing to use it to get himself up onto his feet. He bolts away, diving behind another tree in an attempt to get some sort of cover, jumping out only to fire off two rounds at the beings. [62%] Both shots slam into bark. Turns out trying to shoot green-and-black, super-fast monsters in a dark forest filled with green haze is maybe not the best idea.

    [82%] The tree in front of him rumbles as one of the creature's rips through it, claws glinting in the haze just inches from his head. The second, apparently much smarter, one swings around the tree, its clawed feet sweeping forward and colliding with Dan's head, [Dan +20% Stress] and tossing the gunslinger to the ground.

    Jack erupts from the trees, leaping forward and [72%][??? +55% Stress] raking a claw across the throat of the being attacking Dan. More green-tinted blood flies out, splattering across the trees.

    Syd and Bob watch as another black form drops from the shadows of the cabin's roof. Then another. Green UI shines out through the haze.


    The Hanged Man is in a house. Where is he walking to, exactly?

    [Cecil]COLOR="Lime"]73%[/COLOR
    As Sticks wrestles the propane can in an attempt to refuel the boat, Chuck takes a little rest. [Ambient RAD drops to 48%]

    [11%]
    Joseph accepts Makali's help up, and watches the crowd intently as they listen to the psycher's speech. He watches as their eyes slowly lose their tension, and they begin to genuinely contemplate the floating man's words. Joseph sees his people, and the slow spread of acceptance for Makali's point of view. He sees them clinging to the artist's every syllable.

    Joseph nods and steps closer to Makali.

    Makali's starts as cold metal slips in under his ribcage. [2%][Makali gains Wound: Nasty Scar -5%][Makali is Done] As he drops to the ground, Makali feels Joseph's face beside his. "You can fool dem, but ya canno' fool me, prettay-boy."

    The crowd rushes forward, to grab Makali as he drops to the stage. He can feel them gathering around him. Concerned words. As his vision fades, he can see Joseph glance back at him, eyes hard and angry. Calmly, he pulls the cactus bloom from his jacket and tosses it out, letting it fall to the blood-soaked stage beside the fallen artist. The man turns away, seeming to move in slow-motion as Makali goes into shock. He walks toward the exit, reaching the door as the psycher falls into unconsciousness.


    Makali wakes up on a couch in one of the back rooms, his shirt draped over the cushions beside him, his abdomen wrapped in red-soaked bandages. A woman sits on a chair beside him, fast asleep.
