Re: What happens if you run out of points?

I don't think you can drop below 100 total (including in-play). If you lose games, and it would put you below 100, your total resets.

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik suddenly remembers that he's been carrying around a vial of the weird temporal-displacement stuff. He tries to
1. find Efax.
2. force-feed the concoction to Efax.
3. hope really hard that this sends him back to his proper time.

Re: Disable Reliability Rating

The problem with that is that the points system is pretty much meaningless. If people really cared about the points, then draws would be virtually nonexistent. If a player keeps dropping out of games they're losing, then they probably don't have too many points to begin with. I don't think there's a...

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik grabs a torch in each hand, runs out of the building? ruins?, and dives for cover in the nearest ditch.

Re: A new RPG idea

Clarification: if I've been cured of my temporal displacement syndrome, does that mean I go back to the objective time that I should be in? And does my alchemist master also get put back in the right place in time?

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik looks at the angry mob, and tries to find some drinks to buy for the witch-hunters again. If that succeeds, he then buys a round for everyone present. If that fails, he picks up the barrel-Efax and asks everyone to clear a path so that he can leave with his merchandise.

Scratch that, I should have read the instructions more carefully. Flip a coin for each pair of actions to take.

Re: A new RPG idea

In this game, I don't think a TPK is possible... Qlik rolls around on the floor. Then, he suddenly rolls back through the fourth dimension, intersecting his previous self and returning to human form and returning 3.7 seconds later in the same way he returned in Round 9. Then, the rocket launcher fi...

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik pops back into existence just as the fuse on the rocket launcher runs down. Finding himself pointed at Efax, Qlik is sadly unable to prevent the rocket launcher from doing the inevitable (firing).

Qlik then examines the fluid in the barrel to see if it's alcohol.

Qlik, who seems to have popped out of existence prior to firing his rocket launcher, remains popped out of existence.

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik loads his rocket launcher. He then asks Aeraalys to cast a protective magic spell on Efax.

If such a spell is cast and appears to be successful, Qlik proceeds to use the rocket launcher on Darrel.

Re: A new RPG idea

Being used as a projectile appears to be a good strategy for waking up anyone who can survive the experience. Qlik staggers to his feet, groaning. He is no longer intoxicated, but he has a splitting headache. If there's one thing that a lifetime worth of temporal displacement has done for Qlik, it's...

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik, having found that imbibing large amounts of alcohol is a temporary cure for temporal displacement, remains passed out unless someone dumps something cold and wet over his head.

If someone does, he groans and climbs awkwardly to his feet.

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik walks over to the bar, and non-vocally asks the barkeeper for some of the nearest barrel of alcohol available for his consumption, paying for it with a small golden coin. He then proceeds to drink the whole thing in one quaff. If the alcohol is 70 proof or higher, Qlik passes out on the floor. ...

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik pops back into existence, takes one look at the most confused of Bram's mercenaries standing outside, and recoils in shock! This person looks, to him, exactly like his alchemist mentor! Of course, it probably isn't, but there's always the possibility that if it is, the universe would end if any...

Re: A new RPG idea

Qlik Quicklï is a nominal human, also nominally several thousand years old, and has no knowledge of this region's language. He lived a fairly normal life as an alchemist's assistant until the alchemist accidentally cut him loose from the world's timeline and doomed him to skip through time like a ve...
