Ok, this here is a simple game of RtD. It won't go for long and there's no plot. The world will reset after each war. Basically you choose a country from Earth, make an inventory of that country's weapons and forces and whatnot and verse the other countries in world wars as Player-verse-player.
Also, you can use funny forces as well, for example Australia could have a Drop Bear Army. I am the final judge for said forces.
Rules, using a D6 (six sided dice):

Roll to Dodge! Original concept and rules by Mouse
Roll to Dodge is a fun game where you play with a group of (6) people. Think Dungeons and Dragons in a sense. You will be placed in a certain scenario, and you (may) be given a certain objective. Now here's the catch, for nearly every action you make, a die will determine the outcome.
The numbers on the six sided die are marked as such... 1) Epic fail 2) Kinda fail 3) Kinda success 4) Success 5) Perfect success 6); Overshot
For example:
Jack wants to jump over a wooden fence. I roll a die and it lands 4. Since a 4 represents normal success, nothing too bad nor too good happens, you just complete your action. Thus, Jack jumps over a wooden fence.
Let's say Jack rolled a 1. The outcome would be much different now. Jack tries to jump the wooden fence, but trips over his shoelace and smashes his face through it, breaking his nose.
Now what if he rolled a 6? Jack runs as fast as he can to gain the momentum he needs to jump the fence. The momentum is so great that he jumps the fence, but keeps gaining altitude from his jump and doesn't seem to stop. Jack literally jumps across the entire world and lands right back where he started, behind the wooden fence.
I'm sure you can get what the rest of the numbers represent.
Rules! Only (6) people may play at a time. -This is based on a first come first served basis -If you did not make it in time, I can still add you to the waiting list -I would like to keep this game moving at a good pace, so you will have 2 days max to take your turn or you will be removed from the game and the first person on the waiting list will take your spot -If you have a legitimate excuse for an absence, then your spot will be frozen until you come back.
This game will use the declare system. You declare your move, then when everyone's move has been declared, they are all taken, the die is rolled, and results are decided. -I will not post results of the actions until everyone has taken their turn
I will only count the first action you post. If you post multiple actions (Jump the fence, then punch the guy in the face), then I will only roll on the "Jump the fence" action. -There will be some exceptions to this rule -Other minor actions may be used with your major action (look around, talk, ect) -Observing your surrounding will not be effected by the die -Talking to NPCs or players will not be effected by the die
You may post almost any action you desire -If you want to attempt to harness the power to fly or spontaneuosly grow a third arm, you can do so. -You may not god-mod and ruin the fun for everyone, however.
You may kill or be killed by players or your actions -Be weary of what you do, if you attempt to kill another player early in the game and fail, the results can have devastating results -Attempting to do something stupid can lead to a very funny death
Certain events can affect your next roll -If you do something with perfect success there may be a chance your roll, or everyone's roll, can be increased by +X amount, or be predetermined -The same can be applied if you have an epic failure, only your roll will have -X amount -If a certain action has an effectiveness on a body part, then any action requiring that body part will be effected (Jack's arms are broken, -3 to any action used by his arms) -The same can have positive attributes
I think that's everything you need to know so far. So lets get this show on the road!
Use this sheet for your country or state:
Country: NAME Capital City: NAME Land Forces: - NAME NUMBER WEAPON/S - - SUBNAME NUMBER WEAPON/S Water Forces: NAME NUMBER WEAPON/S - - SUBNAME NUMBER WEAPON/S Air Forces: NAME NUMBER WEAPON/S - - SUBNAME NUMBER WEAPON/S Defences: NAME NUMBER DAMAGE NAME NUMBER DAMAGE Condition/s: NONE
Rules for your 'Country Sheet'
No more than 3 Unit types per force (eg only jets, helis and bombers for the air force)
No more than 2 sub-units per unit (eg a supercarrier can only have jets and support ships)
No more than 2 defences
No more than 2 weapons per unit
No more than 20 actual things (people, cars etc) per unit
Soldiers are in squads of 10 but only count as 1 'thing' (this means more men)

Re: RTD: WORLD WAR
Do they have to be real countries, cause I want to use mine from nation states. Do we have multiple unit types in each section? And are we allowed to be land locked?

Re: RTD: WORLD WAR
No, they have to be real-world countries. Yes, you have multiple units in each force.
Why would you want to be landlocked?
Also, you can have alliences - say like Canada and USA.
Tomaster got it exactly right, but I do need to know the main weapon of each unit, ie subs have torpedoes, jets have missles etc.

Re: RTD: WORLD WAR
Yeah, ♥♥♥♥ it. You can choose whatever Earth country/continent you want, but no fictitious countries. This is Real-Earth only. (That means you caek)
Who wants to declare war first? (Make a reason why for bonus points)

Re: RTD: WORLD WAR
To Canada: Station marksmen and rockets on icebergs, arrange for war bears to be equipped with white armor (for camouflage) and try to fit missileships inside icebergs as well. Other than that mobilize forces in general.
To US: Respond: "We have unsurpassed research opportunities! If you ally with us we'll provide a place to keep those annoying scientists occupied whilst supplying bargain-priced ice as well as exporting imported Russian bears."
