RADLands-1.png

Seven days ago, the world ended. Not with a bang, or with a whimper, but with a sound like a bunch of people gettin' mad on the internet.

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.

100% Beta Testing

DE?AD is running a beta test for the new system this week, only a handful of us are giving it a whirl. Here are the rules because scarlet can't be arsed to save them somewhere after being pointed to them dozens of times.

Skills: You have 100% to spend on skills at character creation. Try to spread them out if you can, there are 56 skills to choose from.

[Physical Skills] Acrobatics, Athletics, Archery, Melee, Ride, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Throwing
[Tech Skills] Computers, Demolitions, Drive, Electronics, Firearms, Heavy Weapons, Mechanic, Sabotage, Pilot
[Knowledge Skills] Behavioral Sciences, Biology, Business, Civics, Cryptography, Geology, High Culture, History, Languages, Medicine, Mythology, Physical Sciences, Popular Culture, Tactics, Technology, Streetwise, Philosophy
[Interaction Skills] Persuasion, Manipulation, Animal Handling
[Intuitive Skills] Observation, Empathy
[Artistic Skills] Visual Arts, Music, Theatre, Writing
[Esoteric Skills] Magic, Psionics, Elemental Control


Traits: You have five traits that abide by the following format
Talent, Personality, Profession*, Background*, and Flaw. [*Replaced by Species when necessary.]
Make them count, let them perfectly describe your character, and don't muss it up with frilly and unneccesary words.

Tags: Make your choices!

Tag Skill Mods: When you select your Tag Skill, choose one of the following modifiers.
[Easy]: Actions attempted with your Tag Skill are one step less difficult.
[Inspired]: Your Special acts as a bonus to your Tag Skill.
[Potent]: Successes are treated as having been +40% higher.
[Adrenal]: Your Stress acts a as a bonus to your Tag Skill.

Tag Trait Mods: When you select your Tag Trait, choose one of the following modifiers.
[Heart]: You gain +5% Special for every step your Tag Trait modifies the Chance of an action.
[Armor]: Your Tag Trait can negate, instead of lower, relevant Stress Gains.
: You lose +5% Stress for every step your Tag Trait modifies the Chance of an action.
[Focus]: Your Tag Trait grants an additional +40% to Chance when used with your Tag Skill.

Overdrives: When you have 100% Special, you may enter your Overdrive state. Overdrives may only be activated in Conflict. Your Special drops by 20% each round while in Overdrive, and your Overdrive ends when you reach 0% Special. While in Overdrive, you gain one of the following benefits:
[Fated]: All Chance is swayed 50% in your favor.
[Swift]: You may take two actions on each turn.
[Invincible]: Your Stress resets to 0% at the end of each turn.
[Specialized]: While in Overdrive, your Tag Skill gains a +100% bonus.


Your character sheet should look like this:
[Name] Special (Mod name) 0% Stress 0%
Traits: Trait, Tag Trait (Mod name), Trait, Trait, Trait
Skills: Skill 00%, Skill 00%, Skill 00%, Tag Skill (Mod Name) 00%, Skill 00%

Difficulty: Roll are handled entirely by DE?AD, who determines how difficult an action is by the following table. Note that the [Easy] skill tag helps you out here.
[Chance Levels]
[100%] Not Worth Rolling
[80%] Easy
[60%] Average
[40%] Problematic
[20%] Challenging
[0%] Difficult
[-20%] Very Difficult
[-40%] Herculean
[-60%] Preposterous
[-80%] Absurd
[-100%] Nigh-Impossible
[-120%] Inconceivable!
[Skill Benchmarks]
[5%] Dabbler
[10%] Amateur
[20%] Professional
[30%] Expert
[40%-50%] Master
[60%-70%] Best-in World
[80%-90%] Absurdly Proficient

    That's probably what Squall meant

    but he wrote "We go to dance"

    It should be either "estamos voyendo a bailar" or "seamos voyendo a bailar"

    I forget which

    Jack skitters up beside the bat-man and looks over to Stonehenge. Chet appears to be doing a funny and adorable little jig. Jack reminds himself to give Chet a terrifying hug later on. Still looking out, Jack rears slightly and clasps his hands behind his back.

    He turns to the bat-man, brows raised

    "So what do you need with me, bat-man?"
