Duel for a GOG!
Giveaway Rules:
This game is for 2 players. Each player creates a character. The character must be sent to me via PM and it must receive my approval. The characters then engage in a 5 round, story-driven duel/battle to win a $6 GOG of their player's choice.
Character Creation:
1. Characters must be approved by me via PM.
2. The setting of the world at large is fantasy.
3. However, characters may break the conventions of the genre: they could be a superhero type character, steampunk, sci-fi, Street Fighter-esque or Mortal Kombat-esque, etc. They could be a cyborg or a dragon or anything else you can imagine, as long as you describe it well enough! But they should not identify with a particular franchise (e.g., you could create a Jedi-like character, but don't refer to them as a Jedi). Bear in mind that each character will have the same power level, whether they're a gnome or a dragon or whatever.
4. Each character is presumed to have any sensible item that they might be expected to carry. E.g., a character with a skill called "lockpicking" is presumed to have lockpicks at all times. Similarly, a "master swordsman" is presumed to have a wide array of swords on him at all times, a character with any number of spells under his command is presumed to have a spellbook, etc. If the character is described as a "skillful inventor" then he probably has any number of useful gadgets, whereas a "chemist" likely has a bunch of potions at his disposal. If it makes sense for your character to have it, you have it.
Each character should have:
1. A name.
2. Between 3-6 powers, skills, spells or traits. If the powers, skills, spells or traits you choose are extremely powerful (e.g. "flying", "invisibility", "supergenius") then stick with about 3 powers. If they are less powerful, (e.g. "good reflexes", "great sense of hearing" or "above average intelligence") then go for about 6.
3. If you want a few additional powers, skills, spells or traits, then you can add "weaknesses" or "flaws" to your character.
4. You can also include any background information you want, or physical descriptions, etc.
5. In lieu of a power, skill, spell or trait, you may instead choose to pick a highly powerful item, object or weapon of some kind that the character would not have had otherwise, or a familiar, a pet or a steed.
6. Send the character to me via PM and I will advise you as to whether or not your character has been approved.
How the actual game works:
1. The characters start on opposite ends of a pre-constructed dungeon, with a few rooms in between.
2. One character is selected to begin the game. They are informed of their surroundings, and then asked to describe what they would like to do.
3. When the 2 characters meet in the dungeon, the 5 round duel/fight begins. Your aim is to defeat the other character.
4. You describe your actions, I detail the results and then you wait for your next turn.
Determining the winner:
1. I will grade each post you make on a scale from 1-10 points, but I will not reveal the points you have earned until the end.
2. Your posts will be graded on their roleplaying value. I.E., how much sense would it make for this character to act like this? Does this character's actions match their personality and special abilities? Does it match the situation? How clever/cool/unique was the action? If 1 character shall have had an extra post by the end of 5 rounds of combat, then the character with less posts shall be entitled to post a combat action one additional time.
3. Additionally, any GOG'er registered before August 2013 will be able to vote for a winner for a limited period of time. Each vote counts as 1 point.
4. When it's all over, I add up the points: my points and the user points. Then I declare the winner!
Other notes:
1. Excessive complaining or griefing in the thread = disqualification and permaban. There shall be 1 warning and 1 warning only. Game is for fun, not for min/maxing or whining, etc. Suggestions, questions or other comments may be directed to my PM box, and may or may not be responded to.
2. In the future, provided this game continues... upon obtaining a certain amount of lifetime points, a player may be allowed to upgrade his/her character.
3. Anyone interested in being a judge for future games may contact me.
4. Feel free to send characters to my PM now, if interested.
