SIMPLIFIED SWOOP RACING RULES

1. All racers will post each "leg" of a lap. They get to determine what happens to their character and swoop racer in relation to other racers and the track environment. All racers get to decide how they crash, take damage, or sabotage - please write your post allowing the defending racer to react. After a lap, the racers' performances will be evaluated and if they have passed the finish line, under most circumstances, they move on to the next lap. There are 3 threads or "laps" in total, culminating in the Dantooine Open Championship which will take place at the start of March 2025.
2. All racers have until the stipulated day to roll in the OOC Dice Roll Thread (this thread). FOR LAP ONE, you have until Monday Feb 3, 2025 to roll. You do not need to post until the day after that, which is Tuesday Feb 4, 2025. When you post, you are posting for that section of the track. For example, "section 1" is the swoop boosts.

3. After racers roll in this thread, the racers then makes any adjustments to their roll (e.g. crew saves, sabotages, track obstacles). There are track obstacles on sections 1, 4, and 6.

4. The racer must roll a higher number than other racers to push ahead. If a racer rolls one (1), they crash. If a racer rolls a twenty (20)they can save themselves from a crash on the next roll. The order of the competitors is determined by the total number that they have achieved in their dice rolls across ALL LEGS of the lap. If a racer rolls "a lucky seven" (7), then they can sabotage one opponent of their choice, who then loses one race point.

5. The racers will also face special track obstacles on Dantooine.

ON LEG ONE, there are boost pads. If you roll 17 or higher on leg one, the next person to roll takes -1. Yes, this can cause a racer to drop to critical 1 and to crash.
ON LEG FOUR, there are light-side VIPs heckling some racers. Even rolls are good and get +1, while odd rolls are bad and take -1.
ON LEG SIX, there are pirates heckling dark-side racers. Odd rolls are good and get +1, while even rolls are bad and take -1.

Race example - Two competitors.
Throughout the OOC thread, Gary rolls: [5, 6, 17, 12, 11, 4]. Gary has 58 race points total. Gary did not hit the boosts in section 1 because he rolled 5 and not 17+. Gary rolled even for section 4, and gets +1. He has 59. Gary also rolls odd on section six. He gets +1. He has 60 total. NIkki then rolls: [4, 7, 7, 17, 20, 20]. Nikki did not get the boost because she rolled 4 and not 17+. Nikki rolls two sevens, and she chooses for Gary to take the penalty, so now Gary has only 58 race points. Nikki was also very lucky and rolled two twenties at the end of the race, meaning she could not crash during the final laps. But she gets -1 for rolling even on leg six, and -1 for rolling odd on leg four. Nikki has 73 points total to Gary's 58. Nikki has more points. Nikki has won the race.

Spoiler: The Track

"THE DANTOOINE WHALE"
SECTION 1: LONG STRAIGHTAWAY - The track has a long straightaway with boost to hype up the audience at the start of the run.
SECTION 2: LEFT DIP INTO TUNNEL - A slight left dip; considered the easiest part of the track apart from the straightaway. Tons of boost pads here.
SECTION 3: HARD RIGHTTUNNEL TURN - This leg tests the swoop bike's maneuverability, and that of its pilot!
SECTION 4: HARD LEFT ONTO STRAIGHTAWAY - The pilot needs to switch the swoop from a left turn to a right one, avoiding a collision on this narrow track leg.
SECTION 5: DRIFT LEFT INTO HILL - The pilot must maintain control of their swoop while drifting towards the hill section. This leg passes precariously close to a reinforced window, creating a unique distraction for the pilot.
SECTION 6: HILL SECTION - There are artificial hills going up and down, then the racers turn left into the straightaway as they reach the stands.


SPECIAL OBSTACLES FOR THIS RACE
Leg 1: Boost Pads - If you roll 17 or higher, the next poster takes -1.
Leg 2: None
Leg 3: None
Leg 4: Heckling VIP Section - Even numbers take +1 to roll, but odd numbers take -1 to roll
Leg 5: Degenerate Drunken Pirate Antics - Odd numbers take +1 to roll, but even numbers take -1 to roll
Leg 6: None

I didn't know for certain how you wanted to go about it, so I just rolled the six times back to back on the site you linked before so that they would all be in the same place so people aren't fishing for multiple different posts.

If this isn't how you want it done, then I can absolutely edit to remove this and redo, no problem!

I think that is perfect! So long as the time and date are present in your rolls, they are a-ok.

Looks like Azurine is getting heckled by both sides on legs 4 and 6! But you pulled ahead quickly.

For this event, I'm totally fine with the DND dice roller because it auto-captures time and date. I know it hasn't been used on the site in the past, but let's give it a try for section 1, and if it isn't working we will revert to site rolls only.

There are also some people who want to roll their physical D20, and I'm cool with that too, just put a little slip of paper in the pic with time & date.

 

[Azurine Varek]

Looks like Azurine is getting heckled by both sides on legs 4 and 6! But you pulled ahead quickly.

I saw the 11, then the 4, then the 17 on the last three legs back to back and was thinking "oh that's so cool narratively speaking" because getting negatively heckled by the VIP section causing some major issues in leg 5, but getting hyped up by pirates and being able to make a comeback at the end, excite!

Can't wait to see what everyone else has!

Mr. Usher may not even have a choice not to crash out

Bwahahaha! The first roll, too!! The dice knows, man!

On your marks, 3... 2...

[Azurine Varek]

I should probably mention that I noticed that the log for those rolls puts the first roll at the bottom of the list, so the numbers are read bottom to top. Odd, but hey it's still more simple and clean others haha

 

[Dani Stellaris]

Lets'a go

 

[Valery Noble]

Rolling for lap 1

 

[Diarch Rellik]

Lets see how this goes lol

Rolling for Lap one!

Also in an effort to not show an edit on my original, as Azurine pointed out, first is last on that list.

To clarify the rules - the racers get to choose which numbers to use for which segments of the track. So this has become less of a dice rolling game, and more of a card game situation. The race points thing does still stand, though, so that we have a general idea of who is ahead and who is behind.

Track obstacles, sabotage efforts, crew rescues and so forth will also take place at the discretion of the racers. Per the rules, describe the situation but allow the defender to describe its effects. In other words, "don't call your own shots" when it involves another racer. PVE is fine.

If anyone needs any last-minute rules clarifications, please PM me and we can work it out.

Another piece of news...

Naami will need his rolls performed for him due to a weather-related emergency.

Naami will still be making posts and playing the podrace, but the posts may be delayed a few days.

I am rolling a total of 6d20 here in the thread with this post.

WOO NAAMI !!!

Oh shit ... well this just became a little bit more interesting. Love it!

Also hoping that Naami's situation gets better soon!!!

 

[Dani Stellaris]

Ooooh. The card game aspect. Let’s go!

With that information I will be rolling the remaining four D20's for the Lap! <3
My first roll being a 4!

We will count that roll per your request.

So that is 1, 8, 11, 17, and 4 for laps one through five. 4 is currently counted for segment 1.

That gives you 41 race points, with one roll remaining.

WOO RELLIK !!!
