Good point, I have enough trouble myself trying to find old stuff.

I added the map, and ease-of-use links to the rules and characters pages.

Good idea! I only wish there was some way we could collect all of the Rounds and put them together for easy-reading.

Maybe at the start of every round you should put the map up again.

I'll have the map and those same links after every round now. I might even include all three rounds of the day every evening, as that's meant to be when you all get together and share what you've been up to. If I do you won't have to look back through the last few pages to read the day's rounds.

Cool, thanks for updating everyone. I have work down south again through, at least, Thursday. So I won't be updating until after that.

Haha, I loved re-reading the first game of this. I didn't really know what I was doing with the second game and I think I come across as over-bearing and not very fun in some parts. Sorry Mrs. Figg!

It's funny re-reading these first attempts of mine to GM a game after years since in which I've run games of D&D and Call of Cthulhu and Mouse Guard.

Thanks everyone who participated. It was fun!

From Beyond the Stars, an RTD That's right, it's back!
A Roll to Dodge game in which you play as an elder god, gain cultists and get them to summon you to the earth, and claim dominion over it before the other elder gods beat you to it... or Cthulhu wakes up. (mostly taken from Aslandus' thread on the Bay 12 Forums)

Roll to Dodge! - Page 14 28172_orig

Rules:
Each player is an elder god, a mysterious and sanity-breaking being that can influence humanity into serving it. To make a character, do the following:

1. Choose two traits from the following list: Charismatic (you easily attract followers (cultists)), Mighty (your physical form is strong and resilient), Potent (your eldritch abilities are especially effective).

2. Give yourself 3 eldritch abilities. These can be anything from: your cultists can read minds, you can create tornadoes or floods at will, you are immune to bullets, the sight of you turns non-cultists mad, etc.

3. Describe what you look like. Not all eldritch horrors have to be big swirling masses of eyeballs on leathern wings, perhaps you take the form of a pack of coyotes, or a scarecrow with burning eyes, or a movie actor.

4. Give yourself a name.

Everyone starts as an elder god in some unknown realm beyond the stars. Searching far and wide with your malignant gaze, you have espied a whole world of puny, mortal creatures called "humans" who can be made to serve you. All you have to do is get enough of them together to summon you from your astral prison. Once physically on the earth, your full might can be brought to bear towards your ultimate goal of dominating the earth and shaping it in your image. The humans most receptive to your bizarre influence all live on the Pacific Coast of the U.S. and Canada, so you'll probably be summoned to California or Oregon or B.C. or nearby.

Roll to Dodge! - Page 14 Maxresdefault

So, the main thing at first is to get cultists. You need at least 50 of them for them to summon you. You also want lots of them so that they can do your bidding. Once you get them, you can tell them what to do. On the other hand, it is possible that some of these pathetic humans will band together against you once your presence is known to them, forming groups of investigators that will attempt to foil the plots of your cultists, or even move against you if they can. Also, Cthulhu is not going to sleep forever, eventually he will rise and destroy everything unless you have grown more powerful than him by that point.

As a quick reminder, in Roll to Dodge, everyone says a thing that they want to do (and what they want their cultists to do, once they have them), and I roll a six-sided die to see how well that goes, with the following results:

[1] - Epic Fail. The action was not performed, and backfired horribly.
[2] - Fail. Nothing happened.
[3] - Partial Success.
[4] - Success. The action was carried out adequately.
[5] - Epic Success. The action succeeded in the most positive way possible.
[6] - Overshot. Though the result was achieved, the action backfires horribly due to disproportionately large effort.

The choices you made when you made your horror can influence the results. So that if you wrote: gather cultists to my cause and rolled a 5 when your horror has the Charismatic trait, you would attract twice as many followers with this action than you would have if you did not have the Charismatic trait.


The game ends when:
1. You are the only elder god left alive.
2. Cthulhu rises and manages to kill everyone.
3. Cthulhu is defeated, joint victory to anyone left alive at that point.

Eldritch Horrors:
