WW CXIV: XCrawl - IT'S OVER!!!!!!

Some thoughts on our next game captured for your anticipation.



“Xworld is where I say I’m from,
‘cause I’m all about Xcrawl. The
dungeon is life. Every dungeon is a
test to see if you can hack it, and if
you can’t hack it underground, you
can’t hack it, period. You might as
well get eaten by a troll because you
weren’t gonna make it anyway, and
at least dying on TV gives the rest
of us a thrill. Trust me—if you
don’t live in Xworld, you ain’t
really alive.”

—JASMINE “NAILBOMB” BROOKS,
XCRAWL ROGUE.

“Oh mother, these seats are awful.
We never have good seats. Can’t we
get a lower box? Mother? Can’t we?
We won’t even be able to see blood
or anything from here. Mother?
Can’t we?”

MOMENTS BEFORE THE START OF THE

“Once again this year I promise
only this: the most honest portrayal
of small scale genocide that I can
muster. With all of my black heart I
promise no mercy, save that which
your gods deem fit to leave you
with. And as always, I invite all the
families of the adventurers to share
my box with me during the game.
I’ll even supply the tissues.”

BEFORE THE TEXARCANACRAWL.

Overview:

For our next adventure, we will be playing a game very loosely based on the RPG system Xcrawl. I will be simplifying everything, but the core premise is similar. I want to have signups for the next few days and probably start on Tuesday. This game will have 2 deadlines per day - Noon eastern and 9pm eastern.

XCrawl is a televised competition in which teams battle their way through a dungeon filled with monsters and traps. You will collect loot along the way and try not to get killed. This is not werewolf. There will not be any lynchings or night-kills. This will be more RPG in nature, but you will have many opportunities for decision making.

What makes Xcrawl unique is the fact that characters must never forget to play to the audience. There are grandstands along the dungeons and crowds will cheer for you to defeat the monsters or in some cases to be eaten by them. If you get the crowd on your side, you may receive mojo bonuses (kind of like a home field advantage in the dungeon that can help in any number of ways).

Team make up:

Each team must consist of 3 players - 1 each from the following classes:

Mage: Very powerful in the arcane arts. You will be able to choose spells that may be used to attack or to heal.
Adventurer: A powerful melee fighter or archer. Your key weapon will be the sword or the bow.
Specialist: "Thief" just sounds too derogatory, doesn't it? The specialist is good disarming traps, picking locks, and scouting ahead to see what wants to kill them next.

So obviously, I will need the same number of players of each class. So sign up early and give me your class choices in order of 1-2-3. I will decide which team you are on. Why? Because I am the Dungeon Judge, and I make the rules. Once you have been assigned a team, you must come up with a team name. The better the team name (in the Dungeon Judge's opinion), the more likely you will get the crowd to like you.


Character Creation:

1) Choose your class (Mage, Adventurer, or Specialist).
2) Then choose your weapon. Make your choice well, because that will be your weapon specialty for the rest of the game. You gain a bonus when using weapons of that type.
3) Mages then select a 2 initial spells.
4) Pick an attribute bonus. Each class has 3 different attributes to choose from. Pick one that you want to receive a bonus in. Note, Fame is a "playing to the crowd" bonus that can get the crowd on your side - which will help in a variety of ways.


Mage:
Weapon choices: Dagger or Staff
Spells (choose 2): Heal, Magic Missile, Detect Magic, Light, Read Magic, Mage Armor
Pick one attribute to receive a bonus: Intelligence, Constitution, Fame

Adventurer:
Weapon choices: Longsword or Longbow
Pick an attribute to receive a bonus: Strength, Constitution, Fame

Specialist:
Weapon choices: Rapier or Two Daggers
Pick an attribute to receive a bonus: Dexterity, Constitution, Fame


The Crawl:

The crawl itself will be your characters travelling through the dungeon as quickly as possible. The first team to make it through wins the game. The dungeon has been constructed so that there are identical layouts for each team. You will travel through and your success in combat and certain decisions you will make determine how quickly you move from one room to the next. I will post frequent updates as to who is leading the race and by how many seconds.

Basically, I will time each encounter based upon the number of rounds it takes to defeat the enemies. In addition, there will be times when you must decide how much searching you want to do in an area. Do you want to rush through the area, or search it thoroughly to see if you can find some great loot to help you through the rest of the dungeon. All of this will determine your place in the race standings.


Death:

Encounters will be dangerous, but most of you will make it through the dungeon. However, if a character's hitpoints reach zero during a battle, he or she is knocked unconscious. If the other members of the team are able to defeat the monster(s), they can awake the hurt team member who will be able to continue after a short rest (but this takes time). If all three team members are knocked unconscious, an Xcrawl official will teleport the group to safety, one room back from where they came. This will take even more time and the group will have to face the monster again.

If a single character is knocked unconscious three times, he is left for dead in the dungeon, and the other two team members must go on without him. The audience just won't put up with that much failure. The monsters like the meal they get, though.

So for now, all I need when you sign up is what class you want to be with your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, choice. Like this:

1-Specialist
2-Mage
3-Adventurer

Note: You can just post this in-thread. No need to PM me the info.

Also,

The mojo bonus I talk about in the rules is helped by roleplaying, boasting, showing off to the crowd, etc. Any "flavor text" you provide in the thread will help that bonus.

I added to the rules:

This game will have 2 deadlines per day - Noon eastern and 9pm eastern.

However, this is a team game, so if you can't make a deadline, don't worry, as long as one team member can submit an action by the deadline, you'll be fine.

Well, Jackal, if you're willing to let your team make your decisions for you as a backup plan for days you can't make it, you can still play.

I'll be in as well, but deadline availability is going to be a big issue at both times. So whoever is on my team will have to deal with that, for whatever that is worth.

Specialist, Adventurer, Mage.

I will note that if you say "Specialist" is your #1 choice, then everyone will get their top choice of class,which would be cool.

But no pressure (seriously, pick what you want, and I'll make it work).
