The Saddest Killbot, a micro rpg

Two posts in one day! Probably as active as I'm ever going to be here, but here you go.

The Saddest Killbot

  • You are a soulless, bloodthirsty, killing machine who suffers from depression because you are a soulless, bloodthirsty, killing machine.
  • You may make one of two actions: KIll or COMMUNICATE. Both actions are resolved by rolling a single d6
  • If a KILL action is declared, then the KILL happens automatically regardless of what you rolled, but a roll of 1 means you gain a point of depression.
  • If a COMMUNICATE action is declared, a roll of 2 or greater is a success. A roll of 1 is a failure, and you gain a point of depression and must make a KILL action.
  • Each point of depression increases the failure threshold of COMMUNICATE actions and the rate of depression points gained for KILL actions. So if you have 1 point of depression a roll of 1 and 2 mean you fail to COMMUNICATE and you gain a point of depression for a roll of 1 or 2 for either action.
  • If you gain 6 points of depression, you have an existential crisis and you suffer a blue screen of death, rendering you useless and unable to make any action.
