Roll to Pony

If it has been a while and someone has not submitted a turn, I take control, most likely making you do nothing. Results table:
1: Crippling failure. Not only did you not succeed at what you were doing, but some other unfortunate side-effects occurred! ooooooh
2: Failure. You didn't succeed at what you were doing at all.
3: Meager failure. You very nearly succeeded, but you didn't. Them's the breaks.
4: Meager success. You barely scratched your way through whatever it was you were doing.
5: Success. Good job! You made your momma proud.
6: Intense Success. You so completely dominated whatever it was you were doing that no one can possibly predict what will happen now. It could be spectacular or terrible. But it will almost certainly be hilarious.
All of that handles all of the uncontested checks. If you try to do something that is opposed, such as combat, or stealing from someone, or anything that involves some other living thing that might not want you to do it, then I simply roll dice for both of you and decide who wins. Anything you do that would require even a little bit of concentration or effort requires a roll. Casual speech and normal movement does not require a roll, for instance. Trying to improvise a poem on the spot requires a roll, as does dancing. Physics is altogether questionable, but is still somewhat in place. For instance, unless you're a pegasus or know a flying spell, you can never fly, no matter how high you roll. Etc.
========CHARACTER CREATION========
Simply post the following.
Name: what yer name is
Race: Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus. Cutie Mark: What it is, and what your special talent is. Can/May provide bonuses. My discretion. Description: Whachoo look-a like. Personality. Roleplaying crap.

========OTHER THINGS TO KNOW======== Race matters. Pegasus: y'all can fly. Normal flight doesn't require a roll.
Unicorn: Telekinesis.
Range: within reason, I decide what's 'reasonable'. You can let yourself have some other kind of magic, if you make it your cutie mark. If it's overpowered, I'll make it /very/ easy to fail. Twilight fucks spells up all the time.
Earth Pony: y'all are dependable. Y'all have a 33% chance for +1 on your roll. If y'all get a +1, y'all don't have to worry about negative effects from rolling a 6.
Cutie mark matters.
Basically the adventure is different for everypony playing. It moves in rounds. Everyone gets responded to in one post. O,0 Good luck~ Round 1 begins tonight at 7. Please post the Oc's you'll be playing with below. There is a health system btw. You'll see soon enough.

Good luck! O,0/)

    1. O,0 relax. The rules are mod specific. Each time from this game on, the mods (me, in this round) add rules as they see fit. However, they can't play.

      Delete
    2. I'm not talking about rules so much. More about the variables. Like stats, and combat, skills and the like.

      Delete
    3. Because the game is played in rounds, status and inventory will be stated at each round, along with hit points. Battle is entirely deturmened by roll. A dice will be rolled for each of you, and higher number wins. However losing a battle only costs one hit point, and sometimes creative item use will cancel a roll altogether. O,0

  2. This match specifics:

    All of Luna's rules apply.
    To emphasize what you are attempting to do, please CAPSLOCK keywords or phrazes.

    You stumble out of bed, and the light from the BLINDS YOU. After your eyes DILATE, you rub your sore snout and take it the room.

    The DOOR is locked.

    You stumble over to the nightstand and knock it over, reveiling many important looking documents and a cellphone, now water logged by a broken vase that once sat on top of the vase. You appear ok, and find the only thing surviving your vase-slaying rampage was a small BOBBYPIN and SKREW DRIVER. The DOOR remains LOCKED as the flowers are read their last rights.

    Here's so far:

    LOOT> 1: Crippling failure

    You quickly brush the door for useful items, when suddenly you feel movement... breathing...
    IT'S STILL ALIVE!
    The door attacks you, and since you didn't see it coming, battle wasn't initiated. Doors are such DICKS... -1 HP

    QUESTION (Secretary) > 6: INTENSE SUCCESS

    The secretary is swooed from her work space and dramaticly falls hooves over heels for you. (Must be those door fighting skills...)
    She immediately tells you that the ADAS PATIENT has been drugged, and moved to room 2A. You thank her for the information she provided. Now that you know where you are, the lobby makes more sense.
    Obvious directions would be the ROOF, SUITES and STANLEY. There is a PEGASUS with a large amount of bubblegum helping the MANAGER. A loud CRASH can be heard from the SUITE FLOOR.

    BREAK DOOR DOWN> 5: SUCCESS

    A loud creak is heard, as the wood of the door gives way. As it tumbles to the floor, you wonder if it was a good idea to make all that noise. You leave the TV SET on and safely exit room 2A. Your hangover dies down, and is quickly replaced by PARANOIA. (-1 value from each roll you take, -1 becoming 6.) You are in a hallway. CLOTHES lay scattered in a nearby , forgotten suitcase. Obvious exits are the stairs to the ROOF or THE LOBBY.

    CLIMB STAIRS> 2:FAILURE

    You head upstairs with haste and newfound confidence. Suddenly, a paranoid STALLION runs past you and you lose your balance. As you stumble back down the stairs, the SECRETARY giggles, assuming you were just being cute. NICE.
    You lie at the bottom of a STAIRCASE. Other directions consist of STANLEY or THE ROOF.
    A PEGASUS and STALLION sit patiently in the lobby. The STALLION is holding lockpicking equipment and the PEGASUS has A LOT of BUBBLEGUM. The manager is inspecting the door.
