sex
love
drugs
rock and roll
are the primary stats

>>12867384
No.

shades
taste
smell
feel

are the secondary one.

>>12867393
Amended: the primary stats are Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Hate.

d12 system,
setting is on the cover of albums from the 70s.

what would you roll for punching?

also this system should use d12 a lot for some reason.

>>12867406

agreed

>>12867410

rock & roll obviously, hate is a few cases.

d12 it is

are we done here?

Secondary stats are guitars, drums, keyboards and vox?

>>12867474
Nah.

>>12867474
those are classes not stats.

Why does it have to be 4? That seems very arbitrary. Just decide whatever stats are necessary and then use that amount.

>>12867474

I approve this notion.

The generall luck/reroll/save my ass ressource is Fonzieness.

>>12867521

Too late the challage has been issued

>>12867521
Because we haven't got all day.

Resolved: experience isn't a number, but a list of cool shit that's happened to you. At the end of each night, you only get to keep the experiences you can remember, so if you were completely fucking tripping balls the whole time you might not remember it all.

>>12867541
That's what's used to repair broken items.

>>12867541

That would also have to include, charima and awesomeness.

>>12867521
Sex
Drugs
Rock (and Roll)
Charisma

4 stats are all that's needed

>>12867598
Charisma is unnecessary there. If you're trying to get punani, use sex, otherwise use rock & roll.

>>12867616
hmm it's debatable

Rock would indeed be a good fit

How about Muscle?

Sex
Drugs
Rock (and Roll)
Fonzieness

>>12867572

Included in Fonzieness. Fonzieness is your ability to be fonzie enough in a certain situation. But it depletes, 'cause mortals aren't that fonzie. Thus, Edge or Willpower like.

>>12867598
Sex- Charisma equivalent
Rock & Roll- combat/performance stat. If shit needs to get done, you use this stat
Drugs- Ability to use drugs, and withstand their effects. Counts as constitution/toughness equivalent
Hate- Melee combat stat

>>12867635

>>12867642
Fonziness shouldn't be a regular stat, but something like fate points

>>12867635
addendum: Fonzieness affects peoples perception of you...
"But when you pulled your own trigger
They all gathered around to watch

Cause you're the fonz"

>>12867644

I like hate but we've already got Rock, so....

This system should use dice pools with 50/50 chance on the die for Pass/Fail, so that any die size may be used.

You could roll d6, d12, d20, d100, anything. Makes more people happy.

>>12867674

Fuck people, you might as well be playing Fudge at that point. d12 needs a new home....

And the home is....

The Rock and Roller Album Wars.(d12 system)

>>12867673
Rock isn't the same as Hate.

System: D12

Primary Stats: Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Hate
Fate Stat: Fonzieness

Can we agree on that and move to the secondaries?

The faces of d12s are pentagons. Should something metal happen when you roll a 5?

>>12867709
agree

rename hate to angst

How about Hair as first secondary? Hair was everywhere in the 70s

>>12867786
Negotiation: Your ability to make deals with the record company, and get gigs

>>12867818
It might be simpler if there was a stat that reflected your general wealth, fame and bargaining position.

>>12867818

Isn't negotiation a skill?

Unless we throw skills completely out of the window, go with the 4/4 and you just roll on what ever makes the most sense, like A Dirty World. Maybe in a shared pool.

>>12867556
Is everyone okay with this as a model for experience?

>>12867868

Could be col, but depends. Are you allowed to take notes? What exactly marks "cool shit" that counts for experience?

>>12867883
Party consensus, I guess. Either that or the DM hands out notes during important encounters and makes you give them back if you forget them.

>>12867911

Okay. But we need to now if there are skills, before we can determine how exactly those events level you up.

>>12867838
Well, I see two main ways for stats.

First, in which the main four work as stats, and the secondary are skills. You can apply each stat to a skill, for different effects. Sex and Neogtiation would be like charming the record company, while Hate and Negotiation would be for intimidating the bar owner into letting you play there saturday.

The other way is that they are both stats, just secondary ones do not directly apply to game play. Wealth, Fonziness, Style, and Addiction could be these secondary stats

>>12867981

I like both, but I'd go with Primary + Secondary = "Skill", because it seems faster, is unusual and is more fonzie.

>>12868012
I didn't bother to read anything but this post and OP...

Please tell me /tg/ is making Happy Days the RPG

>>12868012
So the first idea? I still think if we do that, we can incorporate the last three as pseudo stats

>>12867883

When you think back on what happened and have to say out loud "Fuck Yeah"

3 groupies at the same time? "Fuck yeah"
Cut a deal that doesn't screw you completely? "Fuck yeah"
Stage dove and had the audience eventually return you to stage to complete your solo?"Fuck yeah"
Bitch slapped a roadie, who then broke your shit..."Fuck"

>>12868054
This Day Is Mine: The Return of Chuck Cunningham

>>12868054
More like Brutal Legend with Fonzie thrown in

>>12867981
Wealth is obvious what is. I think it should work like Rogue Trader profit factor.

Fonzieness is the fate point of the game, and works like thus.

Style is your popularity. The band has a Style score, and each individual has a stlye score. If there is too much a difference, it could lead to a loss of cohesion in the band, and possibly lead to a break up...

Addiction should measure how addicted you are addicted to drugs and such, possibly like and insanity score.

>>12868119

Addiction should have some nice perks early on but the more you have the more you get and having a higher score starts to screw you.

So...

Primary:
Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Hat

Secondary:
Negotiation,...

Other:
Fonzieness, Style, Fame, Addiction


Wasn't Brütal Legend more 80s Metal CD covers?

>>12868130
Keep in mind that there's already a Drugs stat. Should that represent the limit of shit you can handle before you start having problems, while Addiction represents how much shit you are compelled to do, and you're only in trouble when your Addiction becomes higher than your Drugs?

>>12868158

perfect. "Bro, Handle your shit"

Secondary stats are derived from primary stats. Otherwise the secondaries are just primary stats of a different name.

Primaries:
Sex
Drugs
Rock
Hate

So we permute them to find our secondaries.

Sex+Drugs
Sex+Rock
Sex+Hate
Drugs+Rock
Drugs+Hate
Rock+Hate
Fonziness (Stat Total)

What are the secondaries called, and do we use all of the permutations?

SETTING:

The Soviet conquest of America went off without a hitch. Only a few nukes were fired, but the Soviet blitzkrieg tactics quickly overwhelmed the US and crushed the command posts around the nation.

Now it's up to you and your friends, a rogue branch of rebel Greasers, to win back America with the power of leather jackets, hip thrusts, rock and roll, muscle cars, and lots of hairgel.

>>12868145
Secondary Skills

Negotiation: Your ability to make deals with the record company, and get gigs.

Tech-Use: Ability to set up the stage, and use equipment

Knowledge: What you know. Could be about drug effects, what happens what you hit these notes together, how to summon a demon, who owns a certain bar, all that fun stuff

Combat: Kinda obvious

>>12868194
Sex+drugs = Addiction threshold. If you exceed this amount, you suffer negative effects. Addiction is rolled whenever something Totally Crazy happens. All drugs should lower addiction as a flat rate when taken and raise addiction randomly when their effects disappear.

Sex+Rock = Style

Drugs+Rock = Whatever our health stat is. Partying, fighting, and rocking out should decrease it. Drugs, sex, and crashing should fill it up again.

Rock+Hate = Power. Power chrods, power solos, power hits over the head with your bass.

For the rest, I got nothin'.

>>12868194
Not necessarily. First stats are your ability, secondary what you use them for, and the skills are the result of this combination.

Thus, Sex+Negotiation=Charm, Hate+Negotiation=Intimidation, Rock&Roll+Negotiation=Pumping up the crowd, and Drugs+Negotiation=Buying stuff, namely drugs

>>12868220
That seems more like a themed game. Not every system needs a pre-packaged setting.

>>12868263
That's completely stupid. It leaves out any resolution engine, a fatigue limit, all sorts of essentials. Primary+secondary for skills is a fine idea, don't get me wrong, but what you're doing is just making secondaries skills and that's just asinine.

>>12868194
Sex+Drugs - Addiction
Sex+Rock - Hair
Sex+Hate - Negotiate
Drugs+Rock - Knowledge
Drugs+Hate - Combat
Rock+Hate - Bravery

Hair stat is a second charisma stat, but instead of charming people, it lets you do some fabulous hair stuff.

Hair + Combat roll = deadly headbanging attack, x2 modifier if user has the glam rock/hair metal feat.

>>12868275
Yes, but fatigue and such could be calculated by a combination of the two systems. I do like your way of measuring addiction, but your ways of secondaries violate the principle of 4 primaries, and 4 secondaries

>>12868306
I did put down four secondaries, didn't I? Addiction, Style, Power, and... fatigue. That needs a rockin' name.

>>12868252
How about we combine the two? Use these four for the psuedo stats, and other sutff such as health, while the four secondaries are combined with the primaries for skills?

>>12868334
Yes, but your idea came with more implied, because of the implications, each stat would be combined with others. If you don't use in such a way, other stats would be dump stats becuase they don't go as far.

>>12868368
All four secondaries contain one of the four primaries. Hate is the lowest amount of uses, but everyone saw that as a dump stat for the non-combat people anyway.

We shouldn't focus on the exact combinations of the skills. The GM just calls for the roll that is best for that situation.

How about this:

Primary:
Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll and Hate

Secondary:
Style, Power, Knowledge and Stamina (better Names)

Fate:
Fonzieness

Derived:
Fame, Addiction, Weatlh

>>12868349
HP is a secondary stat. That's just what it is. We're being limited to just four.

So we got 4 primary, 4 secondary, 1 fate and 3 derived now?

I'm all for primary + secondary = Skill roll

>>12868399
It believe Style is Fame in this game

>>12868399
Drugs = Stamina? Or is sex better for that? Maybe drugs + sex?

>>12868392
Well, it doesn't have to be melee combat.

>>12868399
What the fuck is Knowledge for? What's it even about? It's so out of place in this rock-of-the-gods themed system.

>>12868414
Thats addiction.

>>12868399
What's wealth derived from? It should be a secondary, in my opinion. Power and Style are derived. Fame isn't. Wealth isn't. You've got things all turned around.

>>12868430
Knowledge = How un-retarted you are
Could be replaced by "smartness" or "smartassness". Useful for things like surviving without drugs.

>>12868430
Being able to know what kinda of rock the crowd likes, what restaurant is open at 4 in the morning, that kind of stuff.

Admittedly, rather weak for the system, but I coud see its uses. I think a bravery stat could be better, but that would be the pseudo stat

>>12868442
Why that?
Your fame and wealth depends on how godlike you are. That's why it's derived. Or do you want hard economics in this game?
It's not supposed to be about reality. It's about awesome. So these two stats are something for your background, not something in the foreground.

>>12868442
Wealth is just something like profit factor from Rogue trader, and is used as a more abstract concept. Goes from playing in your garage, to more money that god. Same thing with Fame/style really, just replace more money than god with bigger than jesus

>>12868447
You can't just have secondary stats come out of nowhere. That's not what those words mean in the English language or the jargon of our hobby. It doesn't work that way. You guys are trying to have eight primary stats, called two different things. We need four primary stats, and four secondary stats -- secondary stats are dependent on the primaries.

That's just how it fucking works.

You can't just ignore the challenge presented, ya bunch of loophole-leapin' neckbearded grognards!

So how about the following for stats/rules?

1d12 system
Primary Stats
>Sex: Charisma
>Drugs: Your ability to use drugs and get benefits from them
>Rock &Roll: Your ability to rock out and perform
>Hate: Ability to get pumped, and smahs shit

Secondary Stats:
>Negotiation: Interaction with People
>Smart-Ass: How unretarded you are about stuff
>Tech-Use: Ability to use technology equipment
>Combat: How you fight things, be it a rock off or a fist fight.

These are combined to make skills like Charm and Rock Off

Then there are derived/pseudo stats, such as Style, Wealth, Bravery, and others. These are either abstract, like Wealth, or derived, like Threshold (Health)

>>12868493
Secondary could also mean sub-stats. Similar to WoD.
The secondaries could be stats that ONLY affect skills, while your primaries also affect your whole being, like people's reactions.

>>12868525 continued
Derived stats are purely derived from primary stats. Unlike skills, which are proactively used, Derived stats are reactively used, like Bravery. Bravery is used when shit turns sour, like people start throwing rocks at the stage and the like.

>>12868525
Smart-Ass is redundant with Tech-use. Combat is vague and sucks as a base instead of non-derived.

>>12868525
Combat is already included in hate. Rock-offs are done via Rock&Roll.
Maybe improvisation instead? Shows how innovative and unpredictable you are in fights and rock-offs.

>>12868533
This

There is no reason both can't be used, as proposed
>>12868525
>>12868549

>>12868559
That could work. Allows you to create songs on the fly.

>>12868561
If we were just making a system, then I would agree with you. Why not have more clarity?

But we're not just making a system.

We're making a system with certain constraints.

>To start, every character can be defined by 4 primary stats and 4 secondary stats.

This
is
not
what
is
happening.

>>12868583
Imo we are free to interpret the meaning of "secondary".

>>12868583
What is, then?

>>12868583

Fuck it, what gets created gets created, don't break a fa/tg/uys flow.

>>12868602
What is happening? We've made a system with 8 primary stats, 3-5 derived stats, no skills, and it's rock themed. That's about it. It's also not what the challenge was.
>>12868591
As much as you are allowed to interpret the meaning of "foot" and "round-about" and "interpret". That is, not much at all, really.

>>12868614
In any other thread, I would definitely agree. But this thread is about building within previous constraints until something coherent emerges. We should stick to that, if only to see where it gets us.

>>12868625
The most important part of the challenge is that we finish it tonight. So just take what's already established and roll with it.

>>12868625
secondary does not mean it is derived. It just means less important. Thus, we have 4 primary stats effect everything, and 4 secondary stats that only have meaning in conjunction to the primnary stats. Thus, primary, and secondary.

Further more, what direction are we going with this? Is it going to be some action adventure thing as purposed by >>12868220
or will it be more of a Brutal Legend things, where you rock off against the devil, have join the band, and harness the power of the Gods of Rock?

>>12868194

Nah, that's bull. Exalted, for example has bunches of non-derived stats that are definitely secondary--Willpower, Essence, virtues.

I'm not much for derived stats, myself.

>>12868682
>Nah, that's bull. Exalted, for example has bunches of non-derived stats that are definitely secondary--Willpower, Essence, virtues.
Willpower /is/ derived, from virtues. Essence is so utterly, ludicrously important that to claim it's a secondary in terms of value is just crazy. There's plenty of effects that run solely off the target's essence, it doesn't require another stat to use, meaning it doesn't fall into the 'stats that only work in context with another stat' classification either.
Virtues are 'of secondary importance', but scoring 1/3 for one specific system with notably bad rules does not make your argument a good one.

This will be one of those systems where you want to roll equal to or lower than your stat in whatever you're trying to do. And since this is rock themed, the stats go up to 11. Since the dice go up to 12, there's always some chance of failure.

>>12868746
Brilliant.

>>12868676
I suggest the brutal legend feel here. At epic levels things start getting like metaloclypse, and Odin comes down to wach your shows.

Perhaps magic stat?

I love all of you.

I want to be able to do, with this system, to go to my music collection, close my eyes, pick an album at random, put it on and make a campaign out of it.

Will you do this for me /tg/? will you?

>>12868746
...That brilliant

>>12868746
so skill cheack are made by combining primary and secondary stats. Both primary and secondary can go up to five. bonuses, such as from awesome stage set up, magic instruments such as paul gibson, and drugs can provide the elusive +1

>>12868769
Nope.

Brutal Legend-style rock magic is done with a Rock & Roll check against the solo's DC.

>>12868816
That works. But agreed on the brutal legend feel?

>>12868769
Nah, We can use the same stats for any scale of play. whether you're a shitty garage band trying to get tail or you're a league of immortal skalds trying to enchant some valkyrie tail, you still just roll Sex.

Alright, how about this.

We have the primary stats, then the following substats (oWoD style)

Smart-Ass
Negotiation
Smooth - Will equivalent
Metal - While Hate dictates how much you hate the world, Metal is the score of how physically strong you are.

And the rest are not derived stats, but rather contested rolls of primary stat + substat

For example, combat is Hate + Metal for physical, and Rock + Metal for rock-offs. Shrugging off damage is done via Sex + Metal. Getting over an embarrassment is Rock + Smooth. Setting up traps is Rock + Smart-Ass. Erotica is Sex + Smooth/Smart-Ass.

>>12868869
Awesome.

So lets see how character would be made, shall we? How about each character comes with one point in each stat, and has two stat pool, one for primary and the other for secondary. Each has twelve points, allowing for a completely average 3 in each character, or a more specialized character. For example:

Asus Rock,1st Rank Guitarist
>Sex: 5
>Drugs: 1
>Rock & Roll: 4
>Hate: 2

>Negotiation: 4
>Smart-Ass:3
>Tech-Use: 3
>Innovation: 2

>Fonziness: 3

Thus, we have a begining rock-star, who just got his first gig. He is a pretty boy, who knows the technical side of the rock life. Since he learned from a tutor, he knows the traidtional moves, but lack in innovation. Pretty laid back, he doesn't do much fighting or drugs. Now, how would his derived stats work?

>>12868916
Rock and Smooth makes more sense for a rock-off.

>>12868916
Smart-ass I think should be combined with Tech-use. Both cover intellect, so best combine the two.

>>12868987
Combine Tech-use with Smart-ass. They do the same thing.

Addiction is Sex+Drugs, so Asus' would be 6. That means if he ever gets above this, he will be screwed over by effects. However, his natural drug score should keep him pretty low. The number used for this would be modified drug stat.

His style, which is measure shis fame and Sex+R&R, would be 9 (pretty high). I think style should be sperate though. Fame would cover his popularity, while style would be how he presents himself: Hipster, grunge, metal, which ever. Will effect his sex score with certain people.

His threshold is Drugs+Rock, so 5. Pretty average, if a little lower. Means the dude is likely a skinny fuck.

As for Wealth, he is just starting out, so it would be 1

>>12869096
this works. But what are we going to replace tech-use with, Smooth or Metal?

>>12869147
Smooth (replacement for Negotiation)
Smart-Ass
Metal
Creativity (Innovation)

maybe?

>>12869170
This could work, though I'd rather we keep negotiation and just have smooth be a part of it.

>>12869206
I'd like to see it where you can use different substats for playing music, depending on your style.
Most rock would go for Metal, classical would go for smooth. Electronica and Math Rock would go for Smart-Ass. New Wave would go for smooth, maybe creativity.

>>12869226
I think that would go under style, as explained by >>12869096

>>12868746

Fucking genius.

>>12869206
Smooth covers both negotiating and staying awesome after failing something or being outrock'd (Smooth would count as the defensive stat in rock-offs).

So, the substats would be

>Smooth (combine with Sex for negotiation and with Rock for rock-off defense)

>Metal (combine with Hate for physical offense and with Sex for physical defense)

>Smart-Ass (combine with Rock for using gizmos and with Drugs for Craft:Acid)

>Creativity (combine with Rock for making new rocks or improvise on-stage and with Metal for creating new gizmos)

y/n/gtfo?

>>12869250
This works. Fame is how popular you are, while style is how you play. If you play a different style than your fans like, you get negative modifer to your Performance, while if it is the same it gets a +0.

The bands fame is a combination of the bands rank, with the average fame score. People with a higher fame score are seen as the band's front man, and gets more fans. For this, the vocalist gets bonus when considering who the band front man is. Having consistantly too much more popularity and fans than the rest of the band will lead to a loss of harmony and cohesion. Lose all cohesion/harmony, the bands breaks up, end of game.

>>12869226
I like this. Being able to play multiple kinds of music, instead of being stranded in a single genre, something that could prove fatal in certain places (an electronica user in the middle of a den of metalheads, or even worse, before the throne of Odin? lol que)

>>12869321
possibly, but make sure that you don't base how you play your music off of those. thats what style is for now

>>12869357
How about style just gives you bonus for playing your specialty? That way you can try different genres, but do really good at what you know. Makes sense, because while Gene Simmons might be awesome overall at music and can play it, he'd probably be better at Metal than grunge

>>12869374
>Royksopp playing in front of Odin.

What would be the reverse of this?

>>12869434
Kiss playing before Friend Computer?

>>12869226
Creativity would definitely be for alternative rock.

Nerdcore uses Smart-Ass.

Also, since Styles seem to be something akin to magic schools, there should be a specific kind of music style that is frowned upon by mostly everyone and uses a method of playing that simply does away at the rules (two primary stats, two substats, the same stat times modifier), for use of BBEGs and "evil" PCs only.

>>12869486
>forbidden music style

Pop.

>>12869517
Primary
>Whore
>Douche
Secondary
>Lip Sync
>Bitch Fight

>>12869517
You arrive at the throne in shackles, captured by the mastermind. You hear her laugh and as you raise your head, your mind wracks. How could it be? How can someone who sings such drivel defeat you?

How can Kylie Minogue sit there, mocking you? You sigh, this can't get any worse. Oh dear lord. You see the strings. The one controlling the mastermind. the real king behind the shadows.
Simon Cowell.

>>12869486
So, for an example check lets use Asus.

Asus is trying to get a gig at a local bar from some asshole who only wants popular bands. His opts to use charm the man, rolling a d12 and getting a 6. The bar ownder is a ansshole, which gives a -1 modfier to the target number. Since his combined stat for this check is 9, he beat the target number by 2 (9-1=8, and he rolled a 6), he manages to not only get a set lidt, Asus manages to secure a good time to play.

I see check working like DH, where you have to roll under your target number. You normally don't have to beat a DC, but hard tasks incur a penalty. Likewise, by beating the TN by a certain amount, you get a bonus like degrees of success.

>>12869462
>>12869434

I'm actually not sure which is more screwed, Kiss or Royksopp.

>>12869626
I like this. So what classes would we have? Would they even have a real effect?

>>12869699
Probably get a bonus for certain things. Vocalist get +1 to fame, while Drummers can use anything as an instrument

>>12869699
Maybe each class gets one little perk that isn't otherwise covered by stats. Something like giving drummers the ability to lose less XP or whatever when they die and are replaced by a new character.

>>12870176
I see what you did there.

Do I have to multiclass to play keytar?

How the hell is this off the front page? Get back up there!
(In other words, I have nothing to add, but really want to see this go somewhere)

Alreadsy been archived.

So, what classes should we have? Guitar, Bass, Drummer, and Vocalist, obviously. How about a pianist? Could hay keytars be used by both pianists and guitarists

>>12870237
This is actually an important point. A lot of people do multiclass, especially vocalists. Maybe it would be better if instead of set classes there were just point-buy characters and certain roles that can be filled when the band is playing in "combat" together. So you could have guitar/vocalists, drummer/vocalists, keytarists, drum and bass bands, or even (gasp) ska bands.

>>12867375
Somebody's never heard of autosage.

>>12870364
>>12870353
I'm not really a fan of class systems in the first place. Could we just go with a point buy system for instrument skill, and then apply bonuses related to them at milestone numbers? L5R-style. If we limit the number of available points, it should leave going with multiple instruments a viable option while still significantly rewarding specialization with something more than just a higher target number.

Playing in a band with a brass section or DJ is the equivalent of playing an evil campaign.

>>12868746

Dull. Should be roll over, because being the biggest is the whole point.
I do think there should be able to push your dice roll . . . to 11. Maybe spend some Fonzitude?

>>12869517

Autotune as a pop primary stat?

>>12870785
While I agree that this would fit the theme, we already have a semi working system

bump

>>12870441
Well, if the stats define how well you play what would be the point of these various positions other than arbitrary fluff. For example what do i get for choosing to be a vocalist over say a drummer, if we go down the brutal legend path it would be easy to assign magic style effects to each instrument.

I think we need to get the skill "Hair". It will be the ability to set ridiculous trends.

A Hair master could rub his butt on a hobo and the next week half of America would be doing it.

How about skill in different instruments are based off combos of Rock n' Roll and secondary stats? For example:

>Rock + Smooth = Vocals
>Rock + Metal = Guitar/Bass
>Rock + Smartass = Keytar/Piano etc
>Rock + Creativity = Drums

>Rock +

>>12873814
RM (Rock Master) can provide rulings on weirder instruments. So now we have...

>d12 system | Stats go up to 5, skills are combos of PS and SS, +1 from items, roll under your skill. 12 always fails.

This works. Now, how would a basic campaign go? Also, what happens when you gain experience?

I suggest when leveling up, you gain a bonus to one of your stats. for obvious reason, this should take a long time.

Perhaps we lower starting energy pool

You want to go to 11. The closer you are to the target number, the better. If you roll a 12 you have "Rocked Too Hard!" It has the same effects as a critical fail.

"You've ROCKED TOO HARD! Your guitar bursts into flames!"
"You've ROCKED TOO HARD! Danger of heroine overdose -- you've thrown the television through the hotel window, roll your addiction!"
"You've ROCKED TOO HARD! Her pelvis is shattered!"

This. By getting an 11, you get more degrees of success, and more bonuses

Blackjack rolling, I like it.

...am I reading a fucking Guitar Hero RPG?
