>AnnouncementsWelcome back to Drowned Quest Redux! I have been making the most of my extended break, and would like to announce that:
1) An extended recap of CODICIL has been added to the recap doc! That was an especially oblique thread, so it might be worth a reread if you felt you were missing something. (It's a long recap, but still only about 1/10th of the length of the thread itself.)
2) I have created nicely formatted and proofread Docs of threads 25-36, which you may find useful for rereading or CTRL+Fing. In the future, I expect to do this for all the threads, but it takes longer than you'd think (about 2 hours/thread)-- thus "future." See them under "Transcriptions" below.
3) I've been doing some pixel art! You may or may not see more of it throughout the thread.
This should be an eventful thread. We'll see what happens!
>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
0/100 = Critical Failure / Critical Success [regardless of other rolls]
>MechanicsThe 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.

Reading the original may help with context in very early Redux threads, but ultimately is not required.
