Shooting Star – OOC Info
This is a dice-roll-assisted RP, supported by ChatGPT. Your objective?
Find the fallen star — and survive the return.
Goals will evolve with each turn. Victory is not predetermined — it depends on your actions, luck, and resources.
Why Dice?
Dice are used to make results fair and dynamic, so the story doesn’t always favor the richest, most powerful nations.
You don’t need to plan the outcome in advance — your roll (plus modifiers) decides how well things go.
Roll Odds (d20 System)
| Difficulty | CF | F | M | S | CS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 1–3 | 4–8 | 9–11 | 12–15 | 16–20 |
| Medium | 1–4 | 5–9 | 10–12 | 13–16 | 17–20 |
| Hard | 1–5 | 6–10 | 11–13 | 14–17 | 18–20 |
| Challenging | 1–6 | 7–11 | 12–14 | 15–18 | 19–20 |
| Impossible | 1–7 | 8–12 | 13–15 | 16–19 | 20 |
- CF: Critical Fail
- F: Fail
- M: Moderate
- S: Success
- CS: Critical Success
Modifiers apply if you have strong resources or leader bonuses.
Action Types
These determine the kind of roll you’ll make:
- Exploration: Move, scan, track, survey
- Science: Analyze, decode, stabilize
- Logistics: Manage crew, fund, repair
- Resource: Gather supplies, improve efficiency
- Sabotage: Disrupt rivals, mislead factions
- Combat: Attack, defend, ambush
- Special: Miracle rolls, last-ditch efforts
- Misc/Custom: Anything else (e.g., slipping on ice)
Leader Powers
Each leader gets a custom stat bonus:
- +1 to one action type
- +2 to one type, -1 to another
- +1, +1 to two types, -1 to a third
Your bonus adds to rolls and can shift outcomes (e.g., turning a Fail into a Moderate).
Resources
Each faction starts with:
- 3 points in every category
- +5 extra points to distribute as you like
| Resource | Use |
|---|---|
| Intel | Decode transmissions, outmaneuver rivals, locate the meteor |
| Tech | Use advanced tools, build or stabilize equipment |
| Supply | Food, fuel, crew morale (goes down by -1 every 2 turns) |
| Favor | Political clout, call in support, pull strings |
| Combat | Strength in combat or defense |
Resources help rolls — high points give you an edge; low points make tasks harder.
