20 seconds? More like they all make their characters Hellen Keller
[QUOTE=suppertime;35407543]I give it 20 seconds before the players start making hellen keller jokes[/QUOTE]
The idea was that due to lack of input from regular sources of sensory information, their minds would more readily recreate what they imagine from the GMs decriptions...

Well, being Hellen Keller in Silent Hill would suck. Then again being in Silent Hill would suck.

Well I've got proof the dice gods hate me...

(I am crossroads)
So the entire campaign I roll nothing above a 10 WITH bonuses outside of combat and got about 6 or so 1s, almost all of which were perception checks (I'm a Drow, my party now calls me "Ray Charles"). I then go "fuck it" and log out and log back in with the name "Totally Not Crossroads". I then make a joke roll (with nothing riding on it). Natural, fucking 20. Of course when it counted I was back to anything less than 10.
Does anyone know a way to get the fucking Dice Gods off my back?
Fill a ballpit with dice of all denominations and put some snakes in it to sacrifice small children for the dice gods.

Buy and train a pound of dice, if you're really strapped get 5 pounds of gamescience dice

He's using online dice rollers, though.

Email the guy who runs random.org, he's like the RNG's pope guy, he will know your path.

I don't have a small child, can I use a puppy blessed by the pope instead?
man i miss playing this game even though i was really bad at it
i played with some friends but had to stop because i moved. :( I wish I could play it online instead somehow.
Which one of them did you play?
Uh...I don't know, actually. The newest version, I assume. I was some kind of guardian lizard.
I named him Mort Finkleberg, defender of justice and monetary gain.
I'm designing a new System, and I have the raw edges, but does anyone know a nice base to base it on?

The Warhammer PnP system is pretty simple and easy to learn, since it's d100.

1. You can't be bad at a pnp rpg so long as you're having fun
2. Yes you were playing Fourth Edition which has since been retired.
3. Welcome to the thread.

d100?
Errr... Is d20 open source?
Or would d10 do better?
[QUOTE=Aerkhan;35429034]d100?

d100 is easy as fuck, since they are percentages. If you have 50 strength and you're doing a strenght check, you have a 50% chance. If you had 75 strength, it's a 75% chance. It's really easy.
d% systems are a roll under system.
If you want to make a new system consider building around FATE or GURPS or FUDGE.

Actually, you could maybe emulate WoD if you want to make something new too...

I see.
I'll try and emulate it.
d% is easy to use but hard to balance

I see. I guess your roll needs to match or be higher then the % the difficulty or whatever is?
[QUOTE=Aerkhan;35443790]I see. I guess your roll needs to match or be higher then the % the difficulty or whatever is?[/QUOTE]
generally it's a roll under system where you have stats and skills in pretty decent (25-45) shape
for example, breaking down a door might call for a strenght test
player A has strenght 43, so he's going to try to roll under 43 if the door is decent (referred as "challenging" difficulty), if it would be a flimsy piece of shit the roll would probably be with +30 modifier since it's a shitty door and thus easy to break, so player A would be rolling for 73 or under that.
many GMs make 1-5 to be crit success and 95-00 to be a crit failure to keep things more interesting.

nah not really, I'd say d20 has a lot more problems dealing with powercreep and higher stats stacking
d6 is a fun system, though. i like rolling all of the dice.

Just played another round with my online group. We're giving up on rolz due to the odd dice rolls and its habit of not sending messages. Got around to finally drawing my goblin cleric. I still don't have armor. The thing around him in the 2nd and third pose is a bear pelt. A short-spear is 1.5 feet, and that's what he's holding.
My first session of Vampire: The Masquerade consisted of me running away a lot and two of the other players looting a ship and then blowing it up when they found a vozhd on it. They suggested to the Prince to blame it on Al Qaeda, he was not impressed.
