RESOLVING ORDER
i. round 0/the start
  1. In the very first mod post before players enter with their first post OOC, the moderator will announce the start of the game. Then, a 1d6 is used to determine how far you go. This is where you end up at the start of your first round.
  2. OOC, you should write about your character entering the game at a designated starting space and heading for the new space, as well as determine your action for the round based on your new space. IC, you start heading for the new space after it's been announced.
  3. Additionally, please pick a character and state it in your first post. The same character could be picked by two or more different people. [See below: Characters]
ii. round 1 onward
  1. Players arrive at the designated space announced last round.
  2. Passive actions such as paying/receiving rent (does not count towards your action), paying fine (counts towards your action), are calculated.
  3. If there is an environmental attack, it will then be rolled.
  4. Rolling for defensive spells and actions.
  5. Rolling for attacks.
  6. Other actions related to the space such as purchasing and upgrading houses, investigating the space, breaking free from jail, etc. are carried out.
  7. At the end of the mod post, a 1d6 is used to determine where you land on at the start of next round.
  8. Players post and submit actions for next round, based on the knowledge of the new space they would land on.
ENVIRONMENTAL ATTACKS
  1. Fog: The Fog goes around randomly in the area every round, and is rolled upon the start of each round. If you happen to be in the space with Fog and you wish to investigate, you get +5 wisdom DC. Fog is also disorientating, so you have -2 accuracy and -2 evasion if you are in a foggy space.
CHARACTERS - pick one at the start of the game
  1. Pumpkin Carver: A pumpkin carver can use a pumpkin to guard their properties. Each gives you +2 advantage on defensive rolls. You have 3 pumpkins available, and you may distribute them randomly. However, once they are placed to guard a property, you may only collect it back when you land on that space again.
  2. Fortune Teller: Aka Madam Crystal. You can specify which certificate and how much gold (<= 80) to steal from another player. You still have to complete all the contested rolls.
  3. Bloody Phantom: After your new space have been rolled and announced at the end of last round, you may opt to land on an adjacent space instead. Please submit the -1/+1 of your choice to the moderator. This does not count towards your action. You may use this ability up to 5 times in a game.
  4. Scary Clown: Your opponent in PvP has an disadvantage (lower of two dices) in all checks against you.
  5. Old Hag: You may curse a property in a space you land on and is not yours. The property's rent is halved and cannot be upgraded in the future. You may use this ability up to 3 times in a game.

    3. If your active gold total is still below 0 at the end of round n/start of round n+1, your action next round (round n+1) should be reselling your properties. You can choose reselling order yourself. Each house is worth 0.5 x original price + 10g/extra level (max +30g). You should first take down the levels (+10g/level) til you have reached level 1, when you would have to sell the house itself.
