Welcome to the EPIC GROCERY SHOPPING ADVENTURE. The goal of this RPG is completed in five stages.
1. Leave the house and get in the car
2. Drive to the store
3. Find the eggs your wife asks you to buy
4. Purchase them
5. Go home
Sounds simple enough? What about the twist? If I told you now, then obviously the story would be revealed. So, do you DARE to go on the EPIC GROCERY SHOPPING ADVENTURE?
Hereâs the character sheet.

Name:
HP:
Weapons:
Resourcefulness:
Strength:
Armour:

You get to distribute 50 skill points between HP, Weapons, Resourcefulness, Strength, and Armour. The HP Baseline is 10, for those idiots who decide to spend all 50 on weapons, and complain that they instantly die.

So, hereâs how the points are distributed.
HP: 1 skill point = 2 HP, +10 for baseline
Weapons: 1 skill point = 1 weapon point (spending 7 points here gets you a golf club, but 37 gets you a bazooka!)
Resourcefulness: 1 skill point = 1 Resourcefulness point (this determines the items you find. 8 points can be +10 max HP, but 26 can be +20 skill points â" more than once!)
Strength: 1 Skill point = 1 Point (Sort of like weapons, but more like a damage multiplier.)
Armour: 1 skill point = 1 point (simple enough? Almost like an HP bonusâ&brvbar
AND IF YOU REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT IT, you can make a biography, although it will be little use to deciding the course of events.

This is my first RPG, so itâs definitely not perfect. Feel free to comment on my profile for improvements!

Good choice.

Resourcefulness: 8
Strength: 12
Armor: 10

VS

COCKROACH
HP: 5/5
WEAPONS: NONE
RESOURCEFULNESS: 4
STRENGTH: 3
ARMOR: 8

You swing at him with the golf club. Direct hit! The cockroach's armor absorbs 2 damage, and the cockroach loses 3 HP.

The cockroach is more resourceful then you'd thought. He rips out a wooden plank from the bed's box-spring. he whacks you upside the head. It hurts, but your armor absorbs some of the damage. You lose 2 HP.

You swing again, and hit a pressure point. Critical Hit! The armor is pierced, and the damage is doubled. The cockroach loses 8 HP, and drops dead.

*YOU WIN THE BATTLE!*

You use some of the cockroach's skin plating (EWW!) to up your armor by 2.

Well, the keys aren't under the bed, so you decide to keep looking. you go to your walk-in closet (lucky you!) and because it's in the shape of a T, you have to take a right or left. The light isn't working, so you cant see so well... you would be able to see keys on a shelf, but not something 5 feet away in the dark.

A) Right
B) Left

You stab it in the belly. It's a weak spot! +1 damage. The spider loses 5HP.

You try to slice its neck, but the armor is heavy there. However, you still give it a concussion causing death. Spider loses 2HP and dies.

*YOU WIN THE BATTLE!*

You found your car keys! (Conveniently, your wallet is already in your pocket.) There is a growling sound from the other end of the closet. You can still leave, though, because is doesn't block the exit.

A) Leave the closet
B) Investigate the sound
C) Throw your knife at the sound and see what happens

Upon closer inspection, you realize it was just your dog, Sam. Good thing you didn't throw your knife at it!

Step 1 is complete! You head out the door and to the car. You put the key into the ignition and turn. The engine coughs and dies. You repeat this several times, but the engine won't start!

A) Rant and go crazy, banging the car.
B) Call the repairman.
C) Try to fix it yourself.
