Looking to perhaps do another of the race for independence; but the system needs a dusting/redo to allow for our busy adult schedules.
But what about one where just the animals are running, riderless.
15 rounds may be a bit long, so perhaps with no rider, 5 rounds instead, like a relay race.
Previous post from 2011:
Needed one of Run, Dash, Endurance, Go and Carry Rider to qualify. Bridle Knowledge can replace Go.
2011 Rules
Each participant is asked to make an opening post before the race starts.
Opening posts must be made before the 6th of July, or the participant who has not will be late out of the gates.
After the calculator's post, participants have two days to post their reply, or they lose a round of rolls.
Mounts with wings cannot use them.
Keep track of how many posts you have. Its vital to keep track of raffle tickets.
Each calculation post is 150m worth of distance. The course is a straight line from one end of the city to the other end, then turning around to race back to the starting line.
Only participants may post in the race thread. Thank you.
Setting: The main street of our fair New Pethia has been cordoned off by bright yellow streamers with red, white and blue braided through. The street's uneven cobblestones around the shopping district might prove treacherous for those without sure footing, so be careful! Other then that, its a straight shot to the other end of the city where racers will turn around and race back to the finish line! The course is a mile and a half total.
Are those blinders each entrant is wearing? Yes! These special blinders will temporarily cancel out intimidation for the duration of the race. Plus, they give an extra snazzy look for if said entrant also learns to pull that summer fair buggy!
Race System: Each racer gets d4 amount of dice for every point in dexterity they have. Dash gives a roll of a single d4 – 1 = +1, 2&3 = +2, 4= +3, extra Dash 4 = -1 for one round. Run gives a +1 to each roll for the duration of the user's stamina. During the use of endurance, for every extra Dash a roll of 4 will now mean the user stumbles and gets -1 to their race roll. For every extra round where Run is used past the users stamina, a single d4 dice will be rolled. A roll of 4 the user stumbles and gets -1 to their race roll. Endurance allows the re-roll the lowest dice roll from the dexterity roll.
The race is 15 'rounds' in which each contestant posts and then gets a calculator's post. The die roll results from each round are added up and the three creatures with the highest 'score' are the top 3. For Land Racing, mounts with wings cannot use them. Run and Dash can only be used once unless the mount knows Endurance. If a racer does not post by the deadline, they fall behind by 150m.
