Game Mechanics
How does the game work? How do dice rolls work? The answer - like this!
Basically, the game works by rolling a number of six sided dice, or d6. Every act you perform has a difficulty number - the default number is 5. Every time you roll the dice, every d6 that scores equal to or more than the difficulty number is a success. So, with a diffculty of 5, every dice that scores a 5 or a 6 is a success. Easy!
So how many dice do you roll? Also easy. You have as many dice to roll as the number of points you have in a skill, plus 1. This means that with a score of zero in a skill, you always get one die to roll. St. Trinians girls are always capable of rising to a challenge!
So, let's say you have a CDT score of 3. You're trying to construct a new rack for torturing third form girls. That's a standard roll. So you would roll 4 d6 at a difficulty of 5. Any dice of 5 or 6 are successes.
And that's the basics :D
Of course, there will be many modifiers depending on circumstances. Running over uneven ground, escaping from very tight bonds, trying to make a thermonuclear device when drunk - all can be problematical, but any modifiers will be judged on an individual basis.
