The Maze of Wonder: An RNG-Based Game

Unlike most text adventures, this one is RNG-based since a maze filled with monsters and treasure is supposed to be random. This means all I have to do is explain things.

Here's the type of random number generator we'll be using:

• Random Number Generator

Select an avatar from your gallery for you to play as. Then form teams of three with the other players. If your entire team is killed, you lose all progress and have to start over again if you don't have some sort of revival item.

RNG use is cyclical. Example: Player A uses the RNG, then Player B uses the RNG, then Player C uses the RNG, then Player A gets to use it again, then back to Player B, etc.

There are ten towers with a legendary treasure at the top, which is being protected by the treasure's guardian. The first team to get all ten legendary treasures wins the game, but the game won't actually be finished until the other teams collect their ten legendary treasures. When all teams have ten legendary treasures, a new game starts and you can either select a different avatar to play as or continue to play as your current one (in which case your stats carry over).

You won't have the possibility of encountering a tower until you go down ten maze intersections, not counting dead ends.

And yes, your avatars can level up in this game.

There are five main RNGs:

• One for entering the maze itself due to different entrances (includes possibility of a fight happening right off the bat)
• One for determining maze paths and traps
• One for determining what monsters you fight (a Final Boss from another franchise may appear)
• One for getting into a tower
• One for tower layout.

The game will start when at least three teams are formed, that's when I'll reveal the RNG scenarios and the level up system.

Here's the stat system to start you off:

Each time you gain a level you gain 4 points to each stat and 4 points that you can put in one or more of you stats. Your base stats are 12 points total. So since you're just starting you have 12 stat points to distribute.

The type of stats are:

• HP
• Attack (both for physical and magical attacks)
• Defense
• Speed

As by request here are the formed teams so far;

Red Team

• Joseph Joestar
• Caboose
• Party Octopus

Blue Team

• Equius Zahhak
• Sheik
• UMP45

Green Team

• Bowser
• Porygon-Z
• Marisa

Yellow Team

• Crossbreed Priscilla
• Beatrice
• Tim the Enchanter

Ok. Let's do this!

I will use my Porygon-Z avatar, (Not wrench, but another Porygon-Z titled Unit 3672.)

And my stats will be:

Hp:3

Attack:6

Defense:2

Speed:1

(Will improve these stats during level ups.)

I'm going to be using the avatar I think would be most in-character to search for treasure (other than any of the Phantom Thieves)!

Marisa Kirisame!

• HP: 3
• Attack: 4
• Defense: 3
• Speed: 2

Don't even ask how I plan my stat.

Crossbreed Priscilla

HP: 1

Attack: 9

Defense: 1

Speed: 1

Whoa, we got loads of fragile hard-hitters here. Let me bring someone who can soak up some damage.

UMP45

Health: 5
Attack: 1
Defense: 2
Speed: 4

I do have a question, though: is evasion influenced by Speed, or is it purely RNG? I'd like to make her a supportive ninja-tank if possible.

Guess I'll play too. I'll be going with...

Equius Zahhak.

HP: 2

Attack: 5

Defense: 4

Speed: 1

Evasion is directly influenced the Speed stat. However you won't be able to avoid every attack since certain monsters will be the same strength in proportion to your level. Not surprisingly, they're meant to be That One Boss.

And here's my character.

Bowser

HP: 4

Attack: 4

Defense: 3

Speed: 1

edited 25th Apr '17 6:04:49 AM by TheGamechanger

I'll get one!

HP: 3

ATK: 4

DEF: 3

SPEED: 2

edited 25th Apr '17 6:16:31 AM by RandomWriter413

I'll go with Sheik

HP: 2
Attack: 3
Defense: 2
Speed: 5

I'll go wiith Party Octopus!

HP: 3 Attack: 4 Defense: 3 Speed: 2

Now that there's over nine players the game can begin.

First thing to do is to form groups of three, so choose which characters you want on your team as well as the turn order for who gets to use the RNG.

I have school, so I'll just show you the RNG list that's needed to actually start the game, which is entering the maze itself.

You're in a room and the only way out is through five doors. They are:

• 1) The Yellow Door with a Lightning Symbol
• 2) The Blue Door with a Water Symbol
• 3) The Green Door with a Plant Symbol
• 4) The Black Door with the Skull and Crossbones
• 5) The Red Door with a Flame Symbol

Doors 1, 2, 3, and 5 each have an elemental amulet behind them that increases the power of your attacks of the same element by a quarter while reducing the damage you receive from the same element by a quarter. Door 4 has the first boss from the last video game the person who used the RNG played, and said boss' stats is that of your entire team combined.

Since I haven't explained the level up system yet, if you manage to defeat the boss you gain a level.

I'm up for having Caboose team with anyone!

Dibs on one of the later turns or earlier, seeing as I have to get off for a smol bit soon.

Considering most of our character attributes are defined by how we set our stats and stuff, I don't suppose there are any hard limitations as to what sort of characters/avatars we choose? The character I may or may not be planning on playing as fights primarily by summoning other things. I assume that would be handled mechanically as if summons were simply aesthetically different forms of regular attacks instead of something requiring their own system (i.e. the system treats summons as if they were regular attacks instead of completely separate entities, and enemies could easily target the main avatar even when summons are active)? Kinda want to get this stuff clarified so I know whether the character I may or may not want to play as is alright.

Joseph + Caboose? That cool? They seem to be both relatively all-around characters with focuses on attack.

If so, who wants in on that?

I will gladly have the epic team up of Joseph and Caboose.

Hm... Kinda hard to think about who Marisa would be with. Considering the fact Marisa's not that durable, UMP 45 would be useful, combat-wise.

edited 25th Apr '17 7:33:12 AM by Revaryk

Yeah, and 45 needs someone to actually deal damage. So Marisa and UMP45 are on the same team, then. Anyone else?

Sheik might work well with Equius and/or Bowser; bringing the speed while they bring the bulk/power.

Party over here has pretty balanced stats, so I guess he'll be great with J.J. and Caboose.

Wonderphant! Random wanted to go last. Wanna go first in order?

Sure.

I'd be fine with Equius and Sheik working together.

Sure!
