Filthville - BrikWaRPG: Stubby style - Turn 1

[Arkbrik]

Somewhere in the Crown Kingdom is a tiny village called Filthville. Its inhabitants are dirt poor, dirty, or both. Their lives have been extremely boring so far. But today, things are about to change... hopefully.



In this game you will take the role of a peasant in Filthville. It will use the RPG system Stubby posted here.

Every minifig rank has a story template with blanks that have to be filled, and to achieve a rank you have to fill those blanks during the course of a single battle. If you take the promotion, you get a bonus for situations that match the details of your story.

You only get one story at a time; you can't keep piling on bonuses for completing the same story multiple ways. It's possible to advance through multiple stories in the same battle or even skip ranks if you're lucky enough.

Here are the different ranks and roles for your convenience. I've added a new role, the Mechanik.

All characters start with these stats:

Skill: 1d4
Move: 4"
Armor: 3

Their equipment is a single Tool (Use 3, Damage 1d6-1).

Objectives

This is a sandbox style game. Things will happen that suggest objectives, which you can try to achieve, or ignore if you have something else you want to do. You can try to work together with other players or do your own thing as you please.

Death and respawning

If your character dies, they will come back to life at the end of the turn if either:

1. There are no other characters with a higher Rank

and/or

2. There are other characters with a lower Rank

This means that as long as everyone is a Rank 0 Civilian, everyone will respawn after dying. But when at least one character hits Rank 1 or higher, characters with Rank 0 will no longer respawn!

If there is a Rank 2 or higher character, Rank 1 characters will respawn only if there are still at least one Rank 0 character. And so on.

Rank 3 characters will always respawn.

A dead character drops all their equipment and crawls 1d6" in a random direction before respawning.

End of the game

We'll see. Maybe when everyone left is Rank 3. Or when there's only one character left.
