DUNGEONPUNK The stinking dirty giant rotting cities built upon many layers of ancient ruins. The pitiful and weak people hiding in dread behind great stone walls from the chaos outside. All surrounded by the dark and unforgiving wilderness of a dying world. Far and wide the stony mysterious remnants of some lost foreboding and ancient powerful civilization peak forth from the ruins scattered across the realms waiting centuries to be explored! Ancient and forbidden monster and forgotten nameless demon filled dungeons deep and full of marvelous plunder. The omens have been read and the signs in the stars tell of this age of adventure! The desperate, brave, pious, and insane adventurers in search of magic and treasure so that one can gain fame, comfort, drink, and pleasure! The fools that delve deep and fear not stirring up of the ancient powers that hide away in the darkness, least they die invisible and forgotten after time! No not these brave and foolhardy ones! Their names shall be remembered and etched in the tales and legends of many generations! So one may take the sword, dagger, staff, and mace and go forward! Forget not your trusty backpack and equipment for adventure! It is time for one to begin their adventure and not die forgotten by time! www.drivethrurpg.com/product/209450/Dungeonpunk |

The player describes what he is wanting to do and the game master sets a difficulty from 1-20. A wizard trying to pick a lock may be a difficulty of 16 while a thief it may be a 6. There are no attributes and there is no skill list, you just have what your class can do and your made up background in your description.
Quote:
MAKE UP A DESCRIPTION OF AT LEAST 25-30 WORDS
You must include your character's Name, Class, and a short description of
what he can do. You must have at least 5 (equal to your Destiny) descriptors,
skills or spells. Other strange races are allowed as well such as Dwarves,
Halflings, and Elves as long as they fit in the description. There is no limit to
the choices!
For Example:
Gonar Brightshield the Fighter is a Strong and Tough Fighter from the ancient
wastelands. He is very tired from years of battle and wishes to settle down to
farm and read.
So the example says he is an experienced strong tough fighter who is a
literate farmer.
Destiny points fill in the rest.
Damage is done by describing the attack and if hit the victim is injured or killed depending on how good the roll is, armor worn, the agility of the described opponent with all that factored in by the game master. A destiny point can allow one to survive.
Quote:
COMBAT
Each player declares what they are
doing based on their descriptions and
power levels. Each player rolls an
attack and defense plus any other rolls
they are doing. The higher result usually
wins unless the other player pulls a cool
stunt or is just far more superior. Destiny
Points can be spent if one does not like
the results.
Damage is judged from the weapon used, the protection offered from cover,
armor, and stamina and the result of the Plot Roll. Make it dramatic!
Remember in fantasy novels that during combat there is always a lot of
collateral damage. Windows broken, buildings leveled, wagons thrown about,
explosions, people injured and killed, and whatever else can go wrong.
The effects of combat damage can be very detailed from a detailed
description of each body area injured to a simple Uninjured, Scratch/Beat Up,
Injured, Severely Injured, Incapacitated, and Dying. Use descriptions
INSTEAD of numbers. It all depends on how you want to run the game.
It is up to the players and the game master as well as the dice to figure out
where your character stands.
You have to decide how much damage or effect was done according to the
power and skill level described in the character’s text minus any relevant
defenses.
As stated before, Destiny Points can also allow one to shrug off damage
results in combat. Most of the time it takes only one Destiny point to shrug off
most damage. You still get wounded but it just does not effect you as much.
More powerful attacks may require you to take more than one Destiny Point
away to shrug off damage or effects.
For instance, falling out of a two story building may take 2 Destiny while
getting caught in an explosion may be 2-5 Destiny to still be able to function.
When you are out of Destiny points then your life depends on the roll of the
dice only! Be careful how you use your Destiny points!
Mental states can be done this way as well. Insanity and addiction has been
a part of many fantasy stories!
An ogre of the Rotten Corpse Clan for instance, may have a difficulty of 15 to injure AND have a Destiny of 3. One would have to roll 3 attacks at 15 or higher to kill or injure the ogre.
When a character is taking damage he can roll against the attack and try and describe what he does to avoid injury or death if he is out of Destiny points.
Smaller creatures can be killed for every multiplier of a number rolled. For instance for weak goblins of the Blood Death tribe, for every 3 points rolled on the D20 a goblin dies.
Much of it is the "ruling not rules" type of call. Make it up as you go.
