Battle Royale (Battle #1 has begun!)

[Calamity]

I have a crazy idea! :smallbiggrin:

The rules:
1) Every player starts with 30HP
2) Everyone will roll a d20 for initiave at the start of each round!
3) Every player will have a normal attack that deals 1d20 damage (Yep, more luck than skill is needed!)
4) There are 6 classes (if you have suggestions for others I will be willing to hear them!).
5) The classes each have their own special ability, which will be listed below. The ablities can only be used everthing 3 rounds! (So if you use it in round #1 you can't use it until round #4. The Monk's ablitiy is an exception and can only be used every 5 rounds.
6) The classes will be distributed around players randomly and as evenly possible. If you would like a particular class then please say so in a pm or in this thread. If everyone wants a particular class then I am sorry but some of you will be disappointed.
7) You choose your action each round, whether you're just gonna attack or use your special ability, please send these actions in PM's.
8)Have fun!
9) If you don't act during a round, the inactivity demon will come in and deal 1d5 damage to you
10) You will have 2 days to pm your actions, choose them wisely!

Here are the classes and special abilities and what they do.

All Classes: (normal ability) Attack, 1d20 damage to any target.

Swordsman/woman: Swordsmanship: Do 1d20+6 damage to any target
Mage: Barrier: 1d6 damage to anyone who attacks the casting mage. Their attack is still executed but halved
Rogue: Hide: Can't be attacked until the next round.
Archer: Rapid Shot: Deals 1d12 damge to two targets.
Monk: Pray: Damage done to the praying monk is halved, damage dealt by the praying monk is also halved (rounded down). This lasts for 3 rounds.
Cleric: Heal: 1d6 hp is granted to target (can't be cast on self)

So, wanna sign up? I'll give you until Friday 9th March, 3pm EST.

[Castaras]

Sign me up please!

[Zar Peter]

I'll try it, too.

So we roll in a post and send you the action and the enemy in a PM?

[Calamity]

I'll try it, too.

So we roll in a post and send you the action and the enemy in a PM?

Yes, except I'll roll al the damage and stuff, to avoid controversy (sp?) and confusion. But other than that yes.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Huh...I'm not too big on SMBG's...I had hoped this was a book-based game, but it looks like it isn't...maybe I'll try and design one later.

[Miatog]

I'm in, I'll take rogue if possible.

and to clearify your last post Calamity, we PM you all of our actions then you do the rolls and post everything?

V I'm dislexic. I hate the fact that there's a word that simalar to rogue...makes spell check not help me.

[inky13112]

I'm in, I'll take rouge if possible.

and to clearify your last post Calamity, we PM you all of our actions then you do the rolls and post everything?

No you will not. Rouge is make up, and there is no class that is make up.

Second, sign me up for mage.

Third how long does the mages ability last? it appears to last until someone attacks them, at least thats how the wording seems to show it.

[BrokenButterfly]

Why not? I'll try for this thing.

How long will a round take? I'd like to play an archer please too.

[evnafets]

Less strategic than showdown, but I'll give it a go.

[Silkenfist]

I'll try not to forget about this one

[Calamity]

I'm in, I'll take rouge if possible.

and to clearify your last post Calamity, we PM you all of our actions then you do the rolls and post everything?

That's right.

It lasts until the end of the round it is cast.

Here is something to avoid confusion,

Before the round, I will post the initiave rolls and then give you a deadline to pm an action.

Here's an example

Initiative
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]

[Calamity]

The swordsman would act first, then archer, then mage.

The round could go like this:

Initiative 13
Swordsman A uses swordsman ship on Mage B, dealing [roll0] damage.

Initiative 8
Archer C uses Rapid Shot on Mage B and Swordsman A dealing [roll1] damage to Mage B and [roll2] damage to Swordsman A

Initiative 4
Mage C attacks Archer C for [roll3] damage.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Swordsmanship and Rapid Shot need a little work, I feel...

[Calamity]

Swordsmanship and Rapid Shot need a little work, I feel...

I kinda agree, I will change it. Swordsmanship is going to be changed to 1d20+6 and Rapid Shot is going to be reduced to 1d12.

Anyway, in the example round, (before tweaking abilities)
Swordsman A would have 21HP left
Mage B would have 9HP left
Archer C would have 14HP left

[Cobra_Ikari]

Rapid Shot is better now, IMO, but the problem with Swordsmanship is the lack of a tradeoff. It's just straight-out better than the normal attack, so there'd never be a reason to use the normal attack.

Maybe a small blood cost would even things? I dunno...

[Angela]

Sounds cool, sign me up too...

[Abardam]

A game based on luck, not strategy? Sign me up!

[Copacetic]

Put me on the list, I'm signing up. (As a Swordsman)

[Selrahc]

I'll give it a go....

[Calamity]

Read rule 5, you can't use it every round.

[bingo_bob]

I'd like to be rogue.

And what makes the monk better than rogue? Can he attack after using the ability?

[Calamity]

I'd like to be rogue.

And what makes the monk better than rogue? Can he attack after using the ability?

Yes, the monk can still attack in the next 2 rounds when his ability is activated, but I don't see how this makes either class better than each other as they are very different abilities.

[Miatog]

I'm not sure why we can't post out actions or do our own rolls. With the forums dice roller it's not like we can fudge rolls.

[inky13112]

Yes you can. Just delete and repost your roll until you get max. Plus the forum has a tendency to deal either max or minimum roll of a dice.

[firepup]

Mind if I join in?

[Miatog]

Ah, I see. Didn't think of deleting. Ok, now I understand.

[Helgraf]

Hmm, I'd like to give this a try, but it seems the mage's ability is a real, erm, loser.

I can either do definite 1d20 to someone, or I can reactively do 1d6 to anyone who attacks me whilst taking each of their 1d20s of damage - that seems like a losing deal to me; why would i ever use the power?

You're right, fixing that now, mage only takes half damge from the attack when barriered.

[Miatog]

Only 1 day left to sign up people. Better get moving!

Question regarding Monk's pray ability



Monk: Pray: Damage done to the praying monk is halved, damage dealt by the praying monk is also halved (rounded down)

Does this mean you can attack and pray in the same round? Otherwise how would you deal any damage?

[inky13112]

Oh yeah nat 20! Bring it on I'll take all of y'all with my NATURAL 20 on my initiative :smallsmile: hmm I hope that worked for provoking everyone...

[Miatog]

I also have a question, do I (as a rogue) get to attack in the same round that I hide?

[Calamity]

Question regarding Monk's pray ability

[b]
Does this mean you can attack and pray in the same round? Otherwise how would you deal any damage?

Ooops! No, I meant to put in that it lasts three rounds and the monk can attack during those.


I also have a question, do I (as a rogue) get to attack in the same round that I hide?

Nope, sorry.

[Calamity]

Under 5 hours to the deadline, still in need of 4 actions. Don't let the inactivity demon get you! (In case you're wondering, that's the inactivity demon in my hand :P)

[bingo_bob]

You know, compared to the rest, Swordsmen are a bit on the weak side, along with Archers.

Maybe it's that we're only in the first round (and therefore all abilities are open), but of all of the high initiative people, Frigs the Swordsman is the only really appealing target. Miatog can easily hide, and render your action void, and attacking Inky is just ASKING for retribution. Frigs, however, has no real defense option, only an offensive one. Maybe swordsmen just work better in middle initiatives, where they can hide in the crowd.

[Calamity]

That's why it's a game of luck.

And the two of you who haven't pm'd me yet, have 4 minutes in which to do so!

[Silkenfist]

Oh, it is clear that the Archers are the underpowered ones. They have no defensive skill and you can rather mess with them since they can't use their ability for retribution against a single target either. The Swordsmen at least can threaten to attack with extra damage.

[bingo_bob]

I'd say that the power of the classes goes like so:

Mage
Rogue
Monk
Swordsman
Archer
Cleric

[Silkenfist]

Actually, I'd place them about this way:

Mage (You don't want to attack a cleric with lower Ini. Against a Rogue you can at least try your luck)
Monk (Quasi-permanent damage reduction is cool)
Cleric (Possibility of small Cleric-alliances)
Rogue
Swordsman
Archer (Even with 2 * 1d18, the Archer would be placed here)

[bingo_bob]

It's true that the clerics could set that up, but the healing come way to slow to be truly effective.

Rogues, on the other hand, if shoved into the spotlight (Like inky was) can simply give that turn a bye, and avoid all the damage they'd be taking.

[Calamity]

The crowd start to take thier seats, as the Eventmaster steps up to the podium:
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b249/Photouser_/EventmasterwithInactivityDemonandTr.png

"Let's begin! The winner will be awarded this!:"
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b249/Photouser_/Trophy.gif

Selrahc is dead

[Selrahc]

:smalleek:

Ouch. What did I do to deserve that

[bingo_bob]

Um... shouldn't the text on my action be a bit different? It seems to say I dealt 15 damage to myself somehow.

@^ You stood out from the crowd, that's all.

[Calamity]

[Castaras]

[BrokenButterfly]

I'm sorry Selrahc but I had to do something, that Inactivity Demon stalks my nightmares...

Almost forgot....FIRST BLOOD!!! I'm not going to last long after that outburst now am I?

[Miatog]

Here's a sugestion. When you post the Initiative rolls, post current health and/or jobs. That makes it a lot easier for us to pick our targets. Alternative, edit the first post to keep this info current.

[Abardam]

Ha! I was right! And really slow! Again!

Thing is, he would've been alive (by like 1 hp) if I had been able to heal him.

[Calamity]

Announcements:
Abardam can still use heal, as his action failed. Also, I forgot to mention that Frigs cannot use swordsmanship until round 4.
Due to me not being here at the deadline, and still in need of 4 actions, the deadline has been extended to Wednesday 14th March, 2:30AM EST

EDIT: The Inactivity Demon's attack will get stronger the longer you remain inactive.

Thats right. Pound on the helpless monk.
What did I ever do to you guys? (Apart from Broken-Butterfly that is, who I stung like a bee)

[Miatog]

Don't look at me, I didn't touch you.

Allow me to quote Samual L. Jackson quoting the Bible.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!

[Calamity]

Sorry for the double post, my computer suddenly froze up this morning just as I attempeted to post the rolls. So i clicked the button twice because it wouldn't work, then I had to go.

2 died this round, Frigs and evnafets meet with Selrahc in the afterlife and the inactivit demon is far too busy in my opinion.

But I shall also attempt a sting before I go down...

EDIT: I'd beg for a heal too, but I doubt anyone is going to want to waste one on me, but please PM if you feel like it.

[evnafets]

Hey, I just got a lucky shot in the first round.
Angela is the one who followed through on it.

At least you survived THIS round.

[inky13112]

O.o nat 20 OWIE!!! Yeah Evnafets I single handedly killed you. So now I've caused your death in this and Pirates. Hee hee:smallsmile:

[evnafets]

>Yeah Evnafets I single handedly killed you
Single handedly? not quite.
You did 29 damage to me total. (18 + 11)

Helgraf's earlier blow helped, and Butterfly's was just kicking a man while hes down.

[inky13112]

Oh didn't see helgraf's.

Almost single handedly :smallredface:

[Helgraf]

Yeah, I snuck in a sackful of nickels to the back of the head between the real attacks. ;)

[Calamity]

Deadline closes in and I still need 4 actions!

[Castaras]

Have I sent in mine yet or not?

[Castaras]

Typical. Another bad initative.

[Miatog]

ouch, my first crappy initative roll.

[Calamity]

So, a interesting round eh? Inky got killed and Zar Peter would've been killed if Abardam was as slow as he was in the first two rounds. BrokenButterfly still manages to cling on to life as the inactivity demon could not finish him off and inactivity is becoming a major problem for firepup and Fus. Weapon

I'd also like to point out that no-one is on full hp anymore!

You have until Monday 19th March, 3PM EST to send me your actions.

[BrokenButterfly]

Damn, I thought I'd PMed my action in early...

[bingo_bob]

Wow. A 20, and now an 18. I sure didn't go easy on the Inky beating.

And Inky, that's what you get for dissing the binder. Ninjas come and stab you. So there. :smalltongue:

[Zar Peter]

F*** I didn't wanted that. I apologize, Abardam, but you didn't write back so I thought you healed someone other. You can kill me now, if you like, I deserve it :smallfrown: . I'm really, really sorry!

[inky13112]

Was about to ask why you killed me and then i remembered about the binder :smallyuk:. Hmmph. I don't like accountability for my actions, its lethal.

[Abardam]

Well, see if I ever heal you again!

[Calamity]

I have 8 actions when i should have 11. The deadline is soon. Please hurry.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*I run in and headbutt the 3 people who are inactive. The llama headbutt normally does 1d8 damage, but since I'm charging it goes up to 1d12.*

[Castaras]

1 DAMAGE?!

Aww man, bad roll.

@V Hey, thats odd. :smalltongue:

[Calamity]

Here's how Round 4 went:

Initiative 20
Zar Peter attacks Silkenfist, who takes (1d20)[3] damage.

Initiative 13
Abardam takes revenge! No, not on Zar Peter, but on Anglea, who receives (1d20)[8]

Initiative 11
bingo bob hides away.
The inactivity demon attacks firepup YET again. (1d6+3)[9] damage.
Angela attacks Zar Peter, dealing (1d20)[13] damage to him. And Zar Peter dies this round

Initiative 7
The inactivity demon attacks, surprise, surpise, Fus. Weapon 1337. (1d6+3)[8] damage.

Initiative 6
BrokenButterfly joins in on the Zar-bashing: (1d20)[11] All this does is mutilate Zar's corspe.

Initiative 5
Helgraf decides to join in on the Silken-bashing instead: (1d20)[2]

Initiative 3
Silkenfist attacks Miatog for (1d20)[4] damage.

Initiative 2
Miatog looks all over to try and find bingo bob, and spends the whole round hoping to attack him.
Castaras joins in with the anit-Silkenfist mob: (1d20)[1] damage

[Calamity]

[Calamity]

I am amazed. At what, you say? The fact that Silkenfist survived that massacre. Zar was not so fortunate though and has passed away this round. The inactivity demon is becoming a life-threatening thing for firepup and Fus. Weapon 1337. And alos, bingo bob has used the first sucessful hide of the game, gratz!

You have unitl Wednesday 21st March, 3PM EST to send me your actions.

[Cobra_Ikari]

I predict massive bingo bob mashing.

[Castaras]

I predict Silkenfist killing me.

[Calamity]

I predict that firepup and Fus. Weapon won't send me their actions.

[Cobra_Ikari]

I predict that no one will remind them of this. That would've been a nice gesture, Calamity.

[Zar Peter]

OK, I'm dead. I just looked at my rolls in this game: 3,8,6,1,3,2,20,3.

Expect for my great Initiative roll in the last round (20), I think I were not very lucky here.

[Calamity]

Guys, the deadline draws very near and I'm still needing 5 actions!

[Calamity]

Angela attacks Silkenfist for (1d20)[4] damage.

Initiative 15
Silkenfist continues his vendetta against Miatog: (1d20)[4] damage.

Initiative 14
Helgraf contributes to the Miatog beating. (1d20)[3] damage.

Initiative 10

[Castaras]

Gagh! I thought I sent something in! :smallfrown:

And another crap initiative...these dice hate me.

Right, sending in...now.

[Calamity]

The bloodiest round of the whole battle! And there could have been more casualities too, if it weren't for all those dang low rolls. Anyway, unsurprisingly, firepup and BrokenButterfly died today but there was a surprise with the death of Angela, I actually tripe checked the thing to see if this was right and it was. Others cling on to life whereas some have nice hefty hp totals still.

You have until Friday 23rd March, 3PM EST to send me your actions.

[Miatog]

8 down, 6 still to fall....

[inky13112]

Why are the inactive people alive longer than me? :smallfrown: Must be like, an imp as activity demon.

[Calamity]

Inky, it's because none of them have been ganged up on, so they've only had one thing attacking them each round.

[Calamity]

I still need 3 actions guys, which is quite a lot when there's only 7 of you left

[Calamity]

Round 6 goes like this:

Initiative 20
The Inactivity demon kills Fus. Weapon 1337. (1d6+5)[6]

Initiative 19
bingo bob receives (1d6+1)[6] damage from the Inactivity demon.

Initiative 9
Helgraf attakcs Silkenfist, dealing (1d20)[20] damage. Silkenfist doesn't survive this natural 20

Initiative 4
Miatog cuts Silkenfist's corspe into pieces. (1d20)[20] damage.
Abardam does nothing except from receiving (1d6)[6] damage from the Inactivity demon.

Initiative 3
Silkenfist is in pieces.

Initiative 1
Castaras jumps on the "let's mutilate Silkenfist's corspe" bandwagon. (1d20)[6] damage. Silkenfist is now in even tinier pieces

[Castaras]

That must hurt Silkenfist alot. YAY! :smallbiggrin:

[Calamity]

[Helgraf]

Damn, Silken got chunked bigtime.

[Castaras]

Aww...a bad initative again. When will I get a good roll?

Helgraf...Abardam...you have that healing magic? :puppyeyes:

[Calamity]

The end is near, my freinds, oh yes, so very very near....

Wow. I think you all should be ashamed of yourselves, killing Silkenfist in such a horrific way. 46 damage was dealt to him in total this round! Unbelieveable!
And in less horrible deaths, the inactivity demon just pushed Fus. Weapon over the life threshold. And we have our final 5

So! Please send your actions to me by Sunday 25th March, 2PM EST

[Castaras]

And we have our final 5

To be made 4 very soon. I bet everyone's gonna attack me.

[Calamity]

To be made 4 very soon. I bet everyone's gonna attack me.

You know BrokenButterfly said that 3 rounds before anyone actually did attack him?

[Castaras]

You know BrokenButterfly said that 3 rounds before anyone actually did attack him?

shhhh! :smalltongue: :smallwink:

Oh woe is me, my life is short, I have but one round to make my will, please gods, let me give my money to those I love, I regret nothing!

[Miatog]

oh sure! get a 20 on the guy that's already dead! []grumbles as he thinks of who to kill next.[]

[Abardam]

But. I sent in my action. I think. Blorg.

[Silkenfist]

Ouch......

[firepup]

Gah, unable to get online for a few weeks and I died. guess better luck next time for myself.

[Calamity]

okay, something's unexpectedly come up and I have to update both Battle Royale and VGC, like, right now!

Luckily there's only 1 inactive person this round

[Calamity]

And this is what happened in round 7!

Initiative 17
Abardam attacks bingo bob for (1d20)[13]
And Helgraf does the same, resulting in death fro bingo bob. (1d20)[10]

Initiative 15
bingo bob's corpse is attacked by the Inactivity Demon, (1d6+2)[3]

Initiative 11
Miatog attacks the badly wounded Castaras, (1d20)[19] damage. This kills the rogue

Initiative 7
Castaras is deaded

[Castaras]

Yay, I'm dead. And how come I got so many crap rolls?!

[Calamity]

What's more odd is that you survived so many round with crap rolls.
I know who I'm asking for survival tips when I need them :smalltongue:

Hp after round 7:

Castaras: DEAD
Zar Peter: DEAD
Miatog: 11hp
Inky13112: DEAD

[Castaras]

I got the following rolls:

11, 6, 12, 1, 12, 2, 1, 9, 1, 6, 7.

Three 1s!! :smallfrown:

The dice hate me! Kill the dice!

[Calamity]

Well, today marked the end of 'I can't roll anything more than a 7 on a d20' Castaras and 'I looked like a likely winner but suddenly became inactive' bingo bob. So we now have a final trio! And I laughed and the very odd initiative rolls.

Anyway, you have til Tuesday 27th March to send me your actions.

[Selrahc]

I got the following rolls:

11, 6, 12, 1, 12, 2, 1, 9, 1, 6, 7.

Three 1s!! :smallfrown:

The dice hate me! Kill the dice!

100% of my dice rolls in this game were ones. I think you got off lucky.:smalltongue:

[Castaras]

You got killed the first round I think. :smallwink:

[Selrahc]

Which makes me even more unlucky!

[Castaras]

But that was due to everyone else's amazing rolls. Nothing to do with your rolls.

Enough self wallowing in pity, I'm going to wait for the next game. Yes, precious I'm going to wait for the next game and show them all! Aha!

[Calamity]

Hey, coming 4th out of 15 isn't bad. Y'know

[Castaras]

I know. :smallbiggrin:

You gonna do second, third and fourth place medals?

[Calamity]

A 4th place medal? Never heard of it :smalltongue:

[Castaras]

Meh, I've got one somewhere for something or other in real life.

[inky13112]

But Bingo Bob died slightly after you, so you wouldn't get it :smalltongue:

Can I get a participation ribbon :smallfrown:. lol (Gah chat speak! Heresy!!! OMG! Gah! not again! why!!!

[Miatog]

woot! I'm lasting this long! Go me! go me! go me!

[Calamity]

But Bingo Bob died slightly after you, so you wouldn't get it :smalltongue:

Can I get a participation ribbon :smallfrown:. lol (Gah chat speak! Heresy!!! OMG! Gah! not again! why!!!

Actually no, bingo bob was killed before Castaras, remember, higher initiative means earlier on

[Helgraf]

And so the ranks thin once again...

I can feel danger breathing on my neck.

[Calamity]

Deadline is in 34 minutes and I still need one of your actions.

[Calamity]

And here is Round 8 for ya:

Order of Play:
1) Abardam, Helgraf (12)
3) Miatog (10)

[Calamity]

What a boring round. The most interesting thing that happened was me not having to roll a d20 in a round for the very first time in Battle Royale's short history. Ah well. I imagine the most worried person right now will be Miatog.

You have until Thursday 29th March, 2PM EST to send me your actions.

[Castaras]

Oooo, my money's on the cleric team beating Miatog into a pulp.

[Zar Peter]

And if Abardam lose it's my fault! :smalleek:
I think I can be happy that there is the atlantic between us.

[Miatog]

WTF! I did send in my action! []checks outbox.[] DAMN LAG! my pm got lost to lag. great, now i'm going to die before i get to attack.

[Calamity]

IMPORTANT: Update will be late today.

[Calamity]

Initiaitve 12

[Calamity]

Abardam manages to kill off Miatog and ensure that the winner of this game will be a Cleric. But with the final two both on exactly the same hp it all comes down to the luck of the dice. I imagine this game will be over in 1 or 2 rounds.

You have until Sunday 1st April, 3PM EST to send me your actions.

[Cobra_Ikari]

*starts chanting "Abardam"*

[Helgraf]

What the blazes?

So how the devil did I end up in inactivity? !!



Initiaitve 12
Abardam attacks Miatog for (1d20)[10] damage. Miatog dies.
Helgraf gets attacked by the Inactivity Demon: (1d6)[6] damage

Initiative 10
Miatog is too dead to help the inactivity demon's attack.

[Abardam]

Go Team Cleric!

Also, awesome. I have a supporter!

[Helgraf]

I know I sent my move in ahead of the buzzer - days ahead.

So, let's see who is left, and who is dead.

Alternately, this round may turn out to be a poor man's slapfest.

Either way...

LETS GET IT ON!

[Calamity]

Huh, that's strange, before emptying my inbox i triple checked and couldn't find it.

[Calamity]

Indeed, this could be the last round, but is it? Let's find out:

Initiative 15
Helgraf does the obvious, he attacks Abardam. (1d20)[13] damage

Initiative 11
Abardam retaliates (what else would you do?). (1d20)[20] damage
Helgraf doesn't surivive this.

The last roll of the game is a natural 20!?

[Calamity]

The crowd cheer wildy: As the last blow of the game is dealt, Helgraf is seen falling to the floor. Abardam looks up, revealing his cuts, bruises and deep wounds. The Eventmaster steps up to his podium:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have our first winner: AAAAAARRRBAAAADAAMMM!! [Abardam]

Abardam's trophy:

@Selrahc: Sorry, you don't :smalltongue:

Battle Royale is taking a break, however I am taking signups for the next one.
It will be back, soooooooon, sooooooooooooon!

[Abardam]

Awesome.
"I would like to thank the people who got me here, like Helgraf, and the Inactivity Demon..."

Okay, as a newbie as these things go, how do I stick this in my sig?

Also, cussed lost PM cost me the game - the 6 hp I lost to the inactiv demon dropped me below 20. But I'm not bitter.

This said, if this is the signup for the next one, count me in.

[Abardam]

Right click on the picture, copy the URL, then paste it in your sig between [IMG] tags.

Also, since everyone's doing it, I'm signing up.

[Dr. Bath]

Ooooh, I would also like to join.

[Overlord Jack Chainer]

erm I would like to play but if someone could explain the rules again I read the first page but I think im still a little off on how the whole rolling and such goes. Yeah I feel pretty noobish right now but I like to know how a games run before I play.
