The world has just been created.
Choose your race (any, pending GM approval), and name your race’s immortal leader.
You have 50 points to distribute between STRength, CONstitution, INTelligence, MAGic, and POPulation. No stat can be less than 5 or more than 15.
STR primarily affects your physical fighting ability.
CON primarily affects your susceptibility to disease, etc.
INT primarily affects your ability to learn, and adapt.
MAG primarily affects your ability to deal with magical threats.
POP factors in mortality rate, life span, generational span, reproductive rate etc. Expanding your territory uses this statistic.
Each round is 25 years.
You have 2 moves each round, usually to gain a technology for a buff, or to expand.
Every round, I roll against your stats using a d20, applying relevant checks. For each failure, I determine an applicable challenge, based off of how bad you fail, and where you are. For example, an intelligence failure may mean your tribe settled on a floodplain, and now you have to face a flood. Then, I roll against the highest skill that seems relevant to that challenge, and apply any skills you may have.
Attribute checks can critically succeed or fail with a roll that is -+10 from the aim. Eg. Your skill a 14 and roll a 4, is a critical success. A 1 is always a critical success. Crit successes mean good things happen.
As a free move, you can do a self check against your intelligence to see your stats (including buffs). If you succeed, I will show you either your best or worst stat (that you don’t already know, or correct a previous failed check) Critically succeed, and I will show more stats. If you fail I may show nothing, or I may give false data depending on how bad the fail is.
I will reward RP, but not unfairly. If you encounter a fellow PC, you may either RP the encounter in a message circle between yourself, myself, and the other PC, or you may state your intentions - in which case I will roll / judge for the outcome.
Post or PM me to apply.
Once started, each round will be no more than 1 week (if I can help it). If you don't post in time, your 2 moves will automatically be to develop a skill you have started, and attempt an expansion.
