He is Russian. Giant Bear.

Looks like all the actions are in, but I can't roll for like 8 hours; I have TAFE. So there will be a roll waiting for you all tomorrow morning.

That's about how I do it too, except I've mostly gotten past the make stuff up portion. I'm into the realm of concrete story now.

If your story is way too scripted and narrow, then the players don't really get much choice in their actions, making the RTD boring. If your story is too improvised and broad, then the players don't ever really hit a climax or ending- it's just repetitive playing. The key is having a good balance between the two.

I typically plan out a story with a basic beginning, middle, and end (like we learned in elementary school, children), interspersed with various rising actions (such as major events, boss battles, etc), with multiple paths of gameplay that still end up in the same place. Eg, if I'm going to have a place in the story where there's a literal fork in the road, I need to know what I can have happen if the players go left or right, and I need to have a decent amount of planning ready for multiple rolls if they choose either path- say, at least two or three. From there on, it's a 33/33/33 relationship; 33% of what's going on is scripted, 33% is improvised by the players, 33% is bullshitted by me. The other 1% is donated to charity. If there's a major deviation from the main linear story, then I'll usually let the players enjoy their little tangent until A, too much time passes, or B, they decide to get back to the main story by themselves.

Yes, that is why I was hinting not-so-subtly for you guise to hurry up when you were stuck at the Compound for about 60 pages. Then again, fun stuff happened there (the mournful loss of a helicopter... oh, and I think a couple of soldiers, but who cares) so whatever.

I think mine is more of 50/25/25
50% Scripted
25% Players
25% Bullshitted
Although, I've bullshitted and changed 50% of the scripted stuff, so...

So let's say, hypothetically, that for some strange reason you wanted me dead. There's not a thing in the world I could do to stop it? If it was part of the scripted?

^We don't predetermine the deaths of players- that defeats the whole purpose of rolling to avoid death.

Also, you could suicide in defiance.

I wouldn't put any specific player deaths as part of the scripted.
But if it was, then yeah you'd be pretty ♥♥♥♥.

Alternatively, you can be predestined to have a higher rate of survival, but this can be nullified through stupidity. (Eg "Oh cool I'm a central plot character, may as well blindly charge at this battalion of soldiers") We can do rewrites if we need to

DMs CAN CHANGE HISTORY >:C

Except history future isn't written yet. In this story, a faaar future has been written and we are just filling the blanks.

Roll up in 2.5 hours.

EDIT: ONOES CRAZY IZ AKSHUNLESS

I have sent a notification to the top three people in this list, and the timelimit is up without any of them responding. So I will now send a notification to the next person, Wilq, and he will have 24 hours to respond before I go to the next person after him.
And so on until I get to caek, who will immediately rejoin.

bbbzzz234 will play Ruben
MJAG will play Jake Rayte
Element-zero will play Flar-b7734
Wilq will play Patrick
Sakiskid will play Tyler Smith
hax will play Johnny Maxfield

Will this be the Worlds Fastest rejoin into a RTD After dying?

Wow you guys go fast... no time to think about our actions, ey?

> Shoot some soldiers. (Or anything attacking the Jeep) |
"Dammit Andrews... you'd better not wreck my Jeep."

If I'm in immediate danger from the animals I'll pull out my knuckles and get to bashing.

Crap, which page was my char sheet on? D:
