RPG: SLOTHY'S ARCADE ADVENTURE

Over at the Slothicorn discord, we were talking about gaming and how to get our artists involved with games. I was about to go to my biweekly DND session and I thought our community should make similar RPGs where the human imagination was the game board. Some didn't know what it would look like, so I put together this playable demo. The party has received invites, but others are free to help them out if they get lost.

SLOTHY'S ARCADE ADVENTURE (RPG)

Your parents have dropped you off at your favorite hangout spot: Slothy's Arcade.

You have been given 10 tokens.

Normally there are cars in every parking spot as those who have just received their license liked to hang out here and make out in the parking lot.

Others go in to try to get the top score on the machines, but in the last year, a large mall was built near the highway exit and most of the video gamers now go to the mall. The arcade has recently shut down, but @stellabelle found a way to pick the lock of one of the doors.

The power has been shut off, but some games have a strange glow like they are slowly getting and loosing power. Due to the poor lighting, most of the arcade is in the dark unless you are near one of the arcade machines.

I am the arcade master (AM).

The RPG functions similar to Dungeons and Dragons, but with some changes.:

RULES

• You may discuss strategy with your party.

• You may ask the AM questions.

• You must tell the AM your actions for them to count towards the progress made in the game... eg I want to move to the center of the room and look around.

• You can use advice given from those outside your party from the comments.

• You can ask the AM questions, but commands will typically boil down to movement, actions, asking for more information, or asking to look around.

• Your battles will be done using the dice url from random.org. You will be given the roll result whenever you ask to battle or fight something and that roll will be used to set the attack value for each of your attacks.

• The game ends at 8pm EST.

• There is a special reward for completing certain aspects of the game.

• A party member is free to distribute to their party or keep any rewards or loot they earn.
  
  
  GAMEPLAY

• There will be a comment for guests to announce they are ready called the GUESTBOOK

• There will be a comment for players to discuss called the PARLOR

• There will be a comment for players to take action/communicate with me, the AM, called the GAMEBOARD.

• Finalized actions on the GAMEBOARD will be stored on a log in this post.

If I see that two party members have commented they are ready we can start the game.

10:00PM EST	@mikepm74 walks over to the treasure chest and somehow doesn't see @justatouchfey trying to open the treasure chest.

12:21PM EST	@justatouchfey taps on the AM's driver side window and says, "Excuse me! Excuse me! You've been asleep for over an hour. We have to finish this arcade level to get on with our lives. Is there anything else we can kill in there?" The AM opens his door and stretches his limbs. He hops on the top of his car to do a downward dog and a sun salutation before hopping of the car and addressing @justatouchfey's concerns. "Does everything have to be about killing? I mean, I can see you are ready to strike something with that flaming snot sword, but take a step back. Has there been any hidden messages I've left you in your journey?" With that, the AM clapped his hands and transformed into an orb of purple energy, which floated for a few seconds then flew into the arcade building.	@justatouchfey talks with the AM
5:29PM EST	The AM transforms back to body form and places a thought in each players mind. "For the sake of time, rearrange the following letters to guide you to open your treasure. "G" "S" "L" "U"	AM drops a huge hint
8:25PM EST	@limabeing busts into the arcade with spacepunk witch battlearmor (+2 defense), a magic -orb that can travel in small spaces and see things for her, and a friend fairy-sprite that bites and heals @thekittygirl. The small orb travels around and inside of the Fortune Cookie machine to see the fully mechanical system that spits out fortunes. The orb floats out and into the treasure chest, which doesn't reveal much inside the darkened box.	Crazy superpower entrance?!? Is this even allowed?
8:04PM EST	clink and clang echoing and blurring sounds enough to mask when the coin hits the bottom.	The end of Slothy's Arcade Adventure.
