    Default Corridors

    My new crazy idea!

    The rules:
    There will be an number of corridors to choose from (beginning with 3), with those corridors being either safe corridors, unsafe corridors, or certain-death corridors:

    Safe corridors: These corridors, should they be chosen, lead to somewhere safe (you cannot die in these corridors!)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Unsafe corridors: If you choose an unsafe corridor, you will have 4 options, 1 of them leads to certain safetly, one of them leads to certain death, and the others will require you to roll a d100. The DC for these will be randomly decided. Do not think that the choices will always be obvious!

    Example:

    Options:
    1) Run from the falling boulders (DC84)
    2) Do nothing (Death)
    3) Search for sceret door (DC35)
    4) Use acrobatics to dodge the boulders (Surivival)

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certain-Death corridors: Well, this pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------


    Example of Gameplay:

    Players:
    Roy
    Elan
    Haley
    Thog
    Nale
    Durkon

    Corridors:
    Corridor A
    Corridor B
    Corridor C

    Elan, Thog and Haley decide to go down Corridor A
    Roy decides to go down Corridor B
    Nale and Durkon head down corridor C

    Roy is calmly walking along, enjoying his break from the rest of the group, when he hears a rumble from up above, he looks up just in time to see the roof falling on top of him. (Certain Death)

    Nale and Durkon nearly break into a fight, until Nale runs off, however they both find the way to another junction of corridors. (Safe)

    Elan, Thog and Haley find themselves in a damp room with a pipe coming out of the wall and a door at the other end of the room. All of a sudden water comes flying out of the pipe and the Chaotic trio find themselves in danger of drowning! (Unsafe)

    Options:
    1) Swim up the pipe
    2) Swim towards the door
    3) Stay in water and hope it doesn't fill up to the ceiling
    4) Look for a oxygen tank

    Results:

    Elan looks for an oxygen tank (DC78) buthe can't find one and drowns while looking

    Thog tries the swim up the pipe, but the current of the water pushes him back, he continues to try but runs of breath in the process and drowns.

    Haley swims towards the door and tries to open it, and it works! She is blasted down the corridor by the flow of water that escape the room and ends up lying on the floor soaking wet in the same room as Durkon and Nale.

    Alive:
    Haley
    Durkon
    Nale

    Dead:
    Roy
    Elan
    Thog

    So yeah, any interest? I made that sound more complicated than it is.

    I'm VERY busy due to real life and whatnot, so I'm taking a break from all WWs and SGs. I should have warned y'all beforehand, and I apologize if I've inconvenienced any of you due to my many autolynches. I really should have stated how busy my life is.

    Screen stretch? Please point out where.

    Umm, yes I know this, and only mods can move things into there, you can't post new threads there.

    I'm in.
    How many people do you think you will need?
    Do we PM the actions to you or post them in the thread?
    1) Doesn't matter how many people we have, it might be a little more fun with many though.
    2) I don't see why you can't post them, so save my inbox space and post them!

    I'm in. Do we have to make the rolls ourselves, or we just make the actions?
    No, I'll do all the rolling, so most of the complicated bit is only stuff I really need to worry about.

    EDIT: Oh yes. Want to make the game a bit more complex? Associate each chance thing with a skill, and let each player choose a skill to be "good" at. Gives 'em a +20 or so bonus.

    Registration Closed!

    Corridors: The Cave of T'naig

    The 12 adventurers enter the cave, which at first, seems alot smaller than it is. Once they get inside however, they realise that the cave is a lot larger than they first thought! Castaras lights a wooden torch, which reveals 3 seperate passageways. The Randomizer points to a sign above the middle passageway, it reads: "Life can be found in all three of these passages, but one of them contains more risk than the others."

    KazilDarkEye, Akaziel, Artemis97 and Almighty Salmon all break out into speculation (as any GitPer would) about what this could mean. Zar Peter lights his own wooden torch and spots a sign on the wall at the side, it reads: "Fear not too much, yet, as none of these passageways in this room will lead you directly to the afterlife."

    After a short discussion between Pwenet, Bitzeralisis, MrEdwardNigma, Voidhawk and PirateMonk, the group decide they should split up, and choose more than one passageway to maximise the chance they have of finding the treasure.

    I'll go down corridor B, following Salmon. Always follow the Salmon's nose, as an old saying says. And another claims the middle road is always the best one, so I can't go wrong!
