The Rough Landing is a bar and fight club, offering a place to drink, to relax... and for the especially spirited, a place to participate in a few rounds of fisticuffs.Fights in the ring are governed by the rules of Roughhousing, a simple dice system developed for the venue. For more information, see the Rules page.

Roughhousing

Roughhousing is a dice system for designed for quick PvP roll-offs with the help of a referee. It only requires a d6 or the /random 6 command and something to track what actions you've used.


Rounds

Combat in Roughhousing is done in Rounds, moderated by a referee.Before each round, both fighters tell the referee which action they are taking. Once the referee calls the start the round both fighters roll a d6 (/random 6) and add the action's modifier to the roll for the final result. The fighter with the higher roll after modifiers wins the round.If both fighters roll the same number the round is tied, counting as a win for both.The first fighter to win three rounds wins the match.

Actions

You can take four types actions over the course of a fight: Signature attacks, Heavy attacks, Light attacks, and Rallying. Each action applies a modifier to your roll, and certain actions can only be used a certain number of times.

Action TypeModifierUses
Signature+3 to rollOne
Heavy+2 to rollTwo
Light+1 to rollUnlimited
Rally+0 to roll, Advantage on next rollOne

Advantage

During the course of a match, fighters can earn Advantages. Advantages grant a +2 bonus to the next roll made.There are two sources of Advantage: taking the Rally action, and beating your opponent's roll by 3 or greater.You can only earn an Advantage from each source once, with each fighter earning a maximum of two Advantages in a match. It is possible to earn both Advantages in a single roll, which grants +4 to the next roll.

Optional Rules

The following are optional rules that modify the base Roughhousing system. These rules can be mixed and matched as desired, but some rules are mutually exclusive.If you wish to use optional rules, let the referee know!Some of these rules are still in playtesting. Use them at your own peril.


No Referee

To play without a referee, players determine who goes first each round by trading Initiative with each other.The first round's Initiative is established before a fight by both players rolling a d6(/random 6). The player who rolls lower will declare their attack first, followed by their opponent. Both players then roll their attacks.The winner of the round then takes Initiative in the next round.When playing with Initiative rules, ties are treated differently. If a matchup is tied, the player with Initiative wins.


Stamina (Hit Points)

Stamina is an alternate victory condition that replaces "best of three" with a hit-point system.Each fighter starts with 10 Stamina, and players will roll /random 10. Both fighters roll off as per usual, but instead of marking a win, the higher roller will deal damage to the loser's stamina equal to the difference between their rolls.If a tie occurs, both fighters deal chip damage equal to the modifier of the action they used.The first fighter to deplete their opponent's stamina wins the match.
