Hello ladies, gentlemen, and inbetwenthems!

This system is something I've been workshopping for a while and I've finally gotten enough of my stupid ideas down on paper to create a system that I believe is both needlessly complicated and also boring as shit. Inspired by things like Adventure Zone and Candela Obscura, I decided that I can throw whatever mechanics together without a second thought and that people who don't know me would want to play it for some reason.

Each of your stats will be represented by an arbitrary number of d12 as decided by me. Each time you roll your dice you get to decide the order of the numbers and how each of them applies to your roll! You have 'character points', a renewable resource that either makes rolls meaningless because you automatically win or it adds a modifier so situational that its entirely useless. There aren't any 'skills' per say, but you write out 'play sentences' which describe how your character reacts to situations which earn you bonuses and negatives whenever you feel like rules lawyering with me to try and actually play the game. Enemy turns each take about 10 minutes and if you get distracted while I try and relearn my own mechanics I will scold you.

If that dosen't make sense don't worry! I'll be there to teach you the rules as many times as it takes, adding new stuff each time to try and make my game fun, but only succeeding in making things more frustrating. Because this is a playtest I'll be open to constructive criticism the whole time, but if you do point out the flaws then I'll start getting defensive and talking down to you and making everything uncomfortable.

If all that sounds good then please PM me! I'll accept all applicants because I assume that the more players a game has the better it is, though you'll still have to fill our a 7 page google form application. Be sure to come up with a character idea, I'll help you hammer it into an unrecognizable form during our 8 hour session zero.

Can't wait to play!
