>AnnouncementsWelcome back to Drowned Quest Redux! We're back to IC downtime and I'm nearly on winter break, so I expect a chill and nicely paced thread. Don't jinx it for me, folks.
Also, all those clunky Google Drive links have been compiled into a single sexy 3500-page PDF! At last, you can read (or CTRL+F) Drowned Quest Redux all in one place. I'll keep this PDF updated on a hopefully threadly basis. Link below. (Threads 1-4 are attached to this post: I can't attach the full one because of filesize limits.)
>ScheduleOne a day, occasionally more if the first one was short. There may be sporadic half-updates (no options) if I start writing too late in the evening, sorry in advance. I am in the PST timezone.
>DiceWe use a 3d100 roll over degrees of success system with crits. The base DC is 50. Modifiers may be applied to the roll or to the DC as relevant. The # of rolls that match or exceed the DC determine the result. Probabilities may be found in the Dice and Mechanics pastebin.
The degrees are:
0 Passes = Failure
1 Pass = Mitigated Success
2 Passes = Success
3 Passes = Enhanced Success
0/1/100 = Critical Success / Critical Failure / Critical Success [regardless of other rolls]
>MechanicsThe (typical) MC has a pool of 14 Identity ("ID"), which may be considered both HP and the measure of her current sense of self. It may be lost through physical, metaphysical, or emotional damage. It may be regained through write-ins, designated options, and at reasonable narrative points, including sleep. It may be spent on a flat +10 bonus to rolls, as well as on more elaborate metaphysical effects. Dropping to 0 ID is bad.

>"Redux"?This quest is a loose sequel to the original Drowned Quest, which ran for eight short threads in 2019. Reading the original may help with context in very early Redux threads, but is not required.
