How to attempt a task:

When attempting a task that you have a chance to succeed or fail at, roll one six-sided die and then multiply by the relevant stat. Example, if you are trying to clean the floor, you would take your 'skill' stat and multiply by a dice roll.

I, as the GM, will determine the 'challenge' of the task. If you roll equal or above the challenge, you have succeeded in the task.

Combat:

Similar to attempting a task. Choose a relevant stat to fight with, roll a six sided dice. Your opponent (or me, if you're fighting an NPC) chooses a stat and rolls a six sided die. Each side multiples their die roll by their stat. The winner is the person with the higher attack power. The loser then takes stress, equal to the winner's attack power divided by the loser's stat.

Example: You plan to try to fight an opponent with strength. Your strength is 3, you roll a 4, for a total of '12' The mook decided to use his strength of 2. He rolls a 5, for a total of '10'. 12 is higher then 10, so you win. The mook then takes 6 stress (12 divided by his strength of 2).

NP Cs are defeated when their total stress is higher then their Max Stress. For the Master or the Maid, hitting or exceeding their max stress triggers a stress reaction.

Stress Reaction

A stress reaction lasts until your total stress is zero. Each time you post roleplaying doing your stress explosion, you lose 2d6 (2d6: Roll two six sided dice, add the totals together) stress. You have to wait till at least one other person posts before you can post a second stress explosion post.

Any additional questions?

Are we using the honor system or something else?

Either the honor system or I can make all dice rolls. I usually use random.org for dice rolls.

Kay, one question before we begin, what does the 1701 after Sgt Pendulum's and my name mean?

edited 4th Feb '16 12:57:21 AM by Sergey_Smirnov

I can change that if you want, but my thought is that being made in a lab, 1701 is your model\batch number.

Favor:

Favor is gained by serving the Master. If the Master is pleased by what you do, you gain Favor. If you displease the Master, you lose favor. You can also gain favor by reducing a stat, equal to ten times the new level. (IE: If your Strength is 4, you can reduce your strength to 3 to gain 30 favor.)). You can also spend favor to gain a level, where the cost is equal to ten times the new level. (If your strength is 3, you can raise it to 4 by spending 40 favor).

Seduction:

Maids can try to seduce each other. If you seduce someone or someone seduces you, the two of you can indulge in romantic activities (Keep it PG) to reduce stress.

If you have seduced another maid, you can give orders to that maid and the maid will want to obey you. However, when the maid obeys them, you have to give them favor to repay them.

If your maid is seduced, you have to obey the seducer if possible. If you get two conflicting orders (one from your seducer and one from the master) there is a roll to determine which one you follow, but you receive stress.

Actually I imagined it more like that:
homeless -> captured -> sold -> bought into mansion -> actually living a decent life there
But I can go with the lab if you want (just had another Lab char in another RP so I thought I should go with something different this time, but I'd be fine with both.).

That's fine, I'll go in and erase the 1071

RP thread launched: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14546064910A42020200&page=1#1

Thanks and sorry for the inconvinience.

Just to make sure, Fuchsia is female, right? I'll just assume yes, if not I'll edit.

Also, has the training already begun? Like, do the maids already know that the master wants to train them and maybe even were out for a night or two or will that be the first day now?

edited 5th Feb '16 4:18:44 PM by Sergey_Smirnov

Is Fuchsia female?

Sure, why not?

Have the maids received any training?

My inclination is yes, they've done this vigilante thing before, but this is a communal story. Do you want this to be your maid's first night out? Fine! Is your maid an experienced guardian of the night, who's mere whisper can cause hardened criminals to need their brown pants? Also fine!

Kay, since I don't want to start off too powerful lets say that Aicha was maybe out one or maybe even two times and has received a bit of training but still is new to the whole vigilante deal, that cool with you?

Sergey: It's cool.

Sgt Pendelum, you disturbed the Emperor's groove. Due to losing favor, you now have negative favor. You must choose a stat (higher then one) to lower to gain favor.

If you lower athletics to 2, it will give you 20 favor points. If you lower skill to 1 it will give you 10 favor points. If you lower cunning to 2, it will give you 20 favor points. If you lower will to 1 it will give you 10 favor points.

edited 6th Feb '16 9:32:48 AM by Nodrog

yo, Nodrog, what about the bed?

Oops, went back and corrected. Decided to be generous and award favor, even though a result of 8 isn't usually that impressive. An additional 8 favor points and you'll be able to afford to boost affection, luck, or will.

BTW 11PM? Is the meeting really PM or did he just mess up and the meeting is at 11 AM?

Why did I already see that coming XD Welp, guess a bit of correcting is in order.

edited 7th Feb '16 10:08:38 AM by Sergey_Smirnov

The meeting is at 11 AM.

What or who is Toh Cinthesis? A bird or some other kind of animal or a human?

As a worthy foe, Toh Cynthesis leaves a lot to be desired. She has base stats of 3 but will flee or allow herself to be captured after taking 5 or more stress. She basically wants to sabotage the flower gardens to improve her chance of winning the coveted annual New Gotham Best Garden Ribbon. She is human.

Yo, what about my roll for weapon out of nowhere?

Actually, now that I think about it, wouldnt it be better if we bold the attempt instead of spoilering it? We would know that it's OOC but it would also capture your attention

edited 9th Feb '16 12:34:11 AM by sgtpendulum

Sgt Pendelum: Sorry for the mistake. Posting OOC comments in italics or bold is fine. Since your weapon is magic, I decided (This time) the weapon you'd pulll out is a magical girl staff. You can either keep using the staff or change to some other combat magic, such as hurling fireballs or magic missiles.

Could you give me a basic rundown on what will probably happen at the meeting from an In character point of view so I know what will be needed Aicha there

Edit: Jan?

edited 13th Feb '16 5:59:01 AM by Sergey_Smirnov

At the moment, I don't have any solid plans for what is going to happen to each group, I'm just splitting the party up. I'm thinking about having each group (meeting, home guard, and shoppers) encountering one or more criminals.

Ahaha, sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant what Jen or/and Loxx planned for the meeting, like, if everything went normal and no criminal would be there, what would be happening, and what would Aicha need to do (again if everything went according to plan)?

edited 13th Feb '16 10:29:27 AM by Sergey_Smirnov

Basically just ride with Jen to the business office, wait outside the boardroom during the building, and ride back. You might have to run any Go-pher errands. (Go for coffee, etc.)
