Rules as taken from the Bay12 Forums:

The GM (Game Master) posts a situation the players are in. The players then post their actions, according to the conditions GM sets. The GM then rolls for the actions' results, and writes them out in his post. Then the players post actions again, ad infinitum.

The action results are defined by a six-sided die roll:
[1]: Epic Fail. Your efforts only worsened your situation.
[2]: Fail. Your skills or luck were insufficient.
[3]: Meagre success: The situation didn't improve by as much as you have intended.
[4]: Success: Your efforts were sufficient to achieve your goal.
[5]: Epic Success: Your skills and luck have combined to ensure your success.
[6]: Overshot: Your efforts were more than required for the goal's completion, and your luck is such that unfortunate side-effects are inevitable.

If at any time something threatens a player, that player may make a roll to avoid the threat.

For each action, any number of rolls may be made, as determined by the GM.
Primary causes for multiple rolls include, but are not limited to:

* Actions explicitly composed of multiple actions
* Actions that imply other actions that are not declared free


For every dodge roll, any number of additional rolls may be made, as determined by the circumstances, and any skills or special effects applied to the player.

Each successive dodge roll during a turn, unless it is a dodge against the same object or character, will get a -1 bonus.

If you are Stunned, Dazed, or otherwise receive a temporary penalty to overall or individual rolls, this penalty lasts until your next action is resolved, and not through the whole turn.
If you receive a long-term effect that has the potential to alter itself, you get an Effect Resistance roll immediately after your action is resolved to determine the spread and consequences of the effect.
If you are Unconscious, whatever penalty you receive will not reduce your roll score below 2, unless stated otherwise.
If you receive a mortal wound but are not killed outright, you need to pass a roll to dodge Death at the end of every turn. Only bad rolls here will provide penalties to survival rolls.

You can spend your turn to help another player achieve his goal. If your roll is higher, it is taken as the success roll for the action.
You can also spend your turn to botch another player's action. If your roll is higher, its opposite is taken as the success roll for the action.
In both cases, individual player rolls determine what happens to the players in the course of the action.

Game is limited to 10 players, a waiting list is available, if you do not post your actions within 2 days of the last roll you are out.

The GM rolls the dice.

Waiting list:
Benndak
lordlillen
Jack the werewolf
Kahvimies

Scenario:
You are quietly reading at home and look out of the window. You see a large bear wandering the streets. Out of curiosity you wander outside and the bear glares at you, what do you do?

I cautiously go back inside and check what supplies I have.

What's the setting for this game anyway? and how is this bear staring at all of us?

Get my new tac-knife and figure out where the bear's gone in the time it took me to find my knife and get back outside.
Also, try and find some honey.

I wanna cast magic missile!

[4] You search your house and find a rifle with 3 bullets in the magazine.
(You are in the suburbs and the bear is looking at you trying to work out whether you are a threat or not)

I throw a jar of jam at my neighbour, hopefully covering him in sugary preserve and distracting the bear.
[1] The jam jar smashes in your hand and the bear comes over, pins you to the ground and licks you tenderly.

I'll take you in because im not paranoid is out.

[1] You fail and the tac-knife is not in your house or pocket, you shout in frustration and the bear comes running!

EDIT: Forgot one

I attempt a snappy one-liner and prepare to uppercut the bear when he gets close.

By the way, do these things happen in individual universes for each player? Or are there just f-ton a of bears about?

Nevertheless,

Pinned by the bear, my breath being forced from my lungs, I croak hoarsely at my neighbour to get help. In the back of my mind I hope he didn't notice my attempts to brain him earlier. I also cannot help but reflect sadly on the state of ursine halitosis.

Separate universes but you can cross with each other to either help or f- with them.
