Roll The Dice talk! Empty Roll The Dice talk!

This is general talk about my RTDs
Well, welcome to my RTD talking topic. We talk about my RTDs and brainstorm ideas for RTD situations here.
General rules of RTDs (copy and paste for your own convinience!):

Rules: The GM posts a situation the players are in. The players then post their actions, according to the conditions GM sets. The GM then rolls for the actions' results, and writes them out in his post. Then the players post actions again, ad infinitum.
ALL ACTIONS MUST BE BOLDED. ALL SIDE ACTIONS WILL BE ITALICIZED. ONE ACTION. ONE SIDE ACTION. THE SIDE ACTION MIGHT NOT GET IN DUE TO THE OUTCOME OF THE MAIN ACTION.
IF AT ANY POINT, YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR ACTION, MODIFY THE POST THE ORIGINAL ACTION WAS IN.
The action results are defined by a six-sided die roll, or optionally, 2 eight sided dice. that's RTDx though:
[1]: Epic Fail. Your efforts only worsened your situation. Mostly hillarious
[2]: Fail. Your skills or luck were insufficient.
[3]: Meager success: The situation didn't improve by as much as you have intended.
[4]: Success: Your efforts were sufficient to achieve your goal.
[5]: Epic Success: Your skills and luck have combined to ensure your success.
[6]: Overshot: Your efforts were more than required for the goal's completion, and your luck is such that unfortunate side-effects are inevitable.
If at any time something threatens a player, that player may make a roll to avoid the threat.
By using a skill repeatedly, you will become more experienced, leading up to a +3 to the roll, Failguard, and a title of 'Legendary X' where x is what the character is legendary in. This means no epic fails, but there are more overshoots.
There might be no overarching goal, though there are several ways to end the game and "Win"
1Destroy the planet.
2 Become Immortal/a god.
3 Become the Emperor of the planet.
4:Fulfill an in-character goal.
5:Anything the creator deems worthy.
Obviously any of these Rules may be changed to fit the creaors adventure. Have fun!
