We would like to dedicate this thread in honor of Dave Papay, whose Gnomes set the standard for Dragon Dice⢠humor which all of us who follow must strive for. Not that we reach it, or come close to it, or that we are even worthy to be mentioned in the same breath with the all-knowing "Say, Dave," but we try. _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

Steve and Joe's World is proud (or at least audacious enough) to announce our latest contribution to the Dragon Dice⢠community-
Steve and Joe's World CHAMPIONS
That's right, you too can have the power of Champions in your DD game, if you have the courage (and the stomach for it). All S&JW Champions utilize the following set of rules:
S&JW Champions Rules
Each S&JW Champion die is a 4-health die representing one of the odd legendary characters you might encounter in Cyrea on nights when you've had one too many slices of works pizza or imbibed more adult beverages than you should have. These Champions are constructed using a convoluted extrapolation of the old Champions rules, as found in Dave Papay's Gnome Champion rules.
WARNING: These Champions have been neither extensively playtested nor minimally playtested. They may very well be insanely overpowered, hopelessly vulnerable, grotesquely imbalanced, or all three. But theyre fun, and that should count for something. Besides, who ever said Steve & Joe were any good at designing dice (beside Steve & Joe, that is)?
NOTE: When "Steve and/or Joe" are mentioned in the following rules, it refers ONLY to Steve Braun and Joe Joiner, NOT to anyone else named Steve or Joe!
We used the following formula and rules in constructing our Champions:
1. Each S&JW Champion has 22 icons (counting the logo as 4), one more than rumored for standard Champions. If you play in our backyard, you play by our rules, see?
2. Each S&JW Champion will have the following distribution of faces: ID, S&JW logo, 1 normal face (we do occasionally make a normal post-I think), 1 useful SAI (we have made useful contributions to the DD community, after all), 1 obscure SAI (hey, they need to be played, too), and 1 new and strange ID (otherwise they'd belong in the "normal" DD world).
3. The S&JW logo has the following effect: If rolled by Steve or Joe, the logo counts for 3 points of whatever you are rolling for, and the die is rerolled. If rolled by anyone else, it either counts as 1 point of whatever you are rolling for, or as 4 points of whatever you are rolling IF you spring to your feet, raise your hands in the air, and wave them while chanting the following magical incantation:
"Way to go, Steve and Joe!
Joe and Steve will not leave!
All hail the mighty clown princes of Esfah!
Take that, Chuck!"
(The first two lines may be transposed by members of the RMBRG.)
3. You may bring 1 S&JW Champion for each 6 health in your beginning army. (EXCEPTION: Steve and Joe may bring 1 of each S&JW Champion, no matter how many health are in their armies.) They begin play in your summoning pool. When eliminated, they return to the summoning pool. As Champions, they are never killed or buried.
4. S&JW Champions are summoned into play using the following spell:
Summon S&JW Champion (5, multi): Bring one S&JW Champion into play in the casting army. This spell costs 1 point of each color of magic. However, if you announce your intention to cast this spell prior to making your magic roll, you may convert magic results to results of another color on a 2-for-1 basis. This spell may only be cast once per magic action.
5. Once brought into play, S&JW Champions act like normal units. {Well, maybe not exactly like normal units, but they follow regular unit rules as long as you can keep their attention on the game.)
6. As Champions, S&JW Champions are not affected by unit-targeting spells and SAIs, except for SAIs generated by other Champions.
7. All S&JW Champions have the ability Pout. At any time, during any action, if the desired roll is not achieved, the Champion may be moved to any other terrain where they may roll again during a separate march.
8. When counting health in play for a tiebreaker, S&JW Champions are ignored. (Hey, we're used to it.)
Individual Champions will be listed in future posts. If you have any ideas, you can post them here, but they will NOT be considered official S&JW Champions until Joe and I agree on them. (Key words: "Joe and I" and "agree." If that happens, not only will your Champion be recognized, but you might spot an airborne porcine animal.) _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

Our first S&JW Champion:
Stevik, Dwarven Wizard: ID, S&JW logo, 4 Magic (normal), 5 Cantrip (useful), 4 Confuse (obscure), 5 Obfuscate (new)
Obfuscate: During a magic action, counts as 1 point of normal magic which cannot be reduced by any game effect, including spells and SAIs, per icon. During any other action, subtract 1/2 point per Obfuscate icon from all opposing relevant rolls and add them to your relevant roll. (For example, if your opponent is attacking you, he would subtract 2 1/2 points of melee, and you would add 2 1/2 points of save.) Yes, your opponent's roll can go negative and no, you don't round this off. _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

Just so you know that the craziness will not die out with this generation, my son's contribution:
Roburk, Insane Winged Demon Undead Pelter: ID, S&JW logo, 5 Missile (normal), 4 Bullseye (useful), 5 Volley (obscure), 4 Scare the Bezortch Out Of (new)
Scare the Bezortch Out Of: When attacking an army at the same terrain by missile or melee, choose 1h of enemy units per STBOO icon to become suicidally frightened. Make one roll with these units prior to the army save roll. Add up all melee results and subtract all save results, treating SAIs normally. Those units take that much damage. For each health of units killed in this roll, the army containing the STBOO unit may promote 1h of units.
(He always wanted an Undead missile unit.) _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

And, as a warning to those who would seek to marginalize, delegitimize, or otherwise antagonize us:
Chguck, Goblin Marauder: ID, S&JW logo, 5 Melee (normal), 5 Smite (useful), 4 Smother (obscure), 4 Admin (new)
Admin: When rolled during a melee attack or defense roll, immediately move 1h of enemy units per Admin icon to another terrain. Any unresolved results on these dice are ignored.
Special Note: We were forced to spell our Champion's name that way because someone has set up the list to automatically change that name to something else.
Special Note 2: OK, the name works again, but I changed the spelling to "Chguck" anyway to match OUAF. _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

Just to get in on the act as well...
J'oek - Frostwing Assailer: ID, S&JW logo, 6 Missile (normal), 5 Fly (useful), 4 Volley (obscure), 4 MYOROFLHBO (new)
MYOROFLHBO (Make your opponent roll on floor laughing his/her butt off): When rolled during ANY action (including maneuvers), target 1h of enemy units per MYOROFLHBO icon which must save or die laughing. Those that save may take no action until the end of your next turn.
So... who's next? _________________ The Maj

Obnoxious brat-didn't your parents teach you any manners? (At least your mother?)
I have to think about this. I figured that negative damage would just be nothing, but this actually leads to some interesting possibilities.
1) Negative melee/missile damage damages the attacking army.
2) Negative melee/missile damage heals the defending army.
3) Negative magic gives mana to the other army.
4) Negative magic drains magic from that army's next magic roll.
5) Negative maneuvers make the army move backwards (i.e., to reserves).
6) Negative saves inflict extra damage on the army.
The mind staggers...
So, even though this is a hypothetical question involving a highly suspect SAI which will probably never have any impact on Dragon Diceā¢, since the rules say you can't have negative damage (but this SAI description overrides that, of course!), how would you treat negative rolls, especially damage? Any takers? _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

What if you are in some way incapable of waving your arms (eg bound in a straitjacket) for the extra 3 points?  _________________ Former Destroyer, son of Ddice

Who's the idiot who taught this kid how to post on this forum? Oh, that would be me...
If you are bound in a straitjacket, how the heck are you rolling your dice in the first place?

A new Champion emerges to befuddle your games...and this one's a monster! As a monster, it does not follow the normal S&JW Champion construction rules (as you will see)...
Stejok, Two-headed Jabberwoc (Feral Monster, loosely related to the Elders)- 2 ID, 8 Jabber
Jabber: Counts as 4 points of everything you need and is rerolled.
Special ID rules for the Stejok: Whenever the ID face of the Stejok comes up, count it as 4 points of anything you don't need and reroll the die.
The incessant jabber of the Stejok manages to befuddle, confuse, and mystify all opponents, who try to find ANY way to shut the thing up so they can go about their business. _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun

And another new monster Champion:
??k, the Unseen Faerie (Scalder)-1 ID, 9 blank faces
Special ID rules: The ID of ??k counts as 0 points of anything you need.
Special unit rules: ??k counts as a 0h unit for the purpose of army construction. ??k may not be targeted with any game effect whatsoever, since no one sees him. If all units except ??k are killed, ??k immediately vaporizes into a fully transparent mist and leaves the game.
"Dang Unseen Faerie! When am I going to get one of those dag-blasted things?! Wait, I think I see...nope, just another Uttercrap." _________________ Steve "DDice" Braun
