The nefarious Dr. Evuldokter has plans to take over the world! However, the population was unlucky during the natural selection process and no one is fit to invade the lab and take on Dr. Evuldokter and his array of minions and advanced technology. Luckily, Dr. Evuldokter forgot to safekeep his latest invention, the Clone-a-tron 5000, which allows infinite cloning of any organism! The population travels to a secluded location where Dr. Evuldokter does not have in his location database to ensure that they cannot be found. They set base and prepare the Clone-a-tron 5000. Let's put it to good use and stop Dr. Evuldokter's evil-doing once and for all!

The premise of this RPG is to repeatedly clone yourself in order to get past the villain's various traps and enemies, so that at least one of the clones make it to the end.

Gameplay
Most of the game is just cloning people in your home base and trying to invade the lab through trial and error. You can command one clone, several clones, or all clones at once.

Most actions will be determined by a d10 roll, 1 basically guaranteeing death and 9 being the best (10 is an overshoot). Each clone will get their own dice roll.

Example of gameplay

Quote from: PersonI command four Steves to jump over the pit.

Quote from: Alex The JPEGThe four Steves try to jump over the pit.

4d10 = [1, 4, 9, 10]

Steve 1 trips, falls into the pit, and dies.
Steve 2 barely makes the jump. He lost his balance for a second but prevented himself from toppling over the edge.
Steve 3 jumps over the pit with style and ease. +2 gold!
Steve 4 jumps really high and far, clearing the first pit but falling into the second pit.

ALIVE
Steve 2, Steve 3

DEAD
Steve 1, Steve 4

Players can interact with other players (same goes for clones), but remember that this is a cooperative RPG, so don't try and kill other players.

Cloning
You start with some money which is required to operate the Clone-a-tron 5000. The more money you have, the more clones you are able to make. You can upgrade the Clone-a-tron 5000 to make cloning more efficient.

Using the Clone-a-tron 5000 will create an EXACT copy of the organism put in, stats and all. The Clone-a-tron 5000 never malfunctions or adds randomness to the cloning.

Once a clone dies, it dies permanently, so to avoid having no clones to work with, players have a base clone, which stays in the base unharmed. The base clone cannot be taken outside. Players can use any money they've earned to upgrade the base clone and add weapons for the base clone so that future clones will reflect those upgrades.

Clones
Clones only try to invade the lab. When they acquire items, they do not equip them. They simply carry the items with them. However, they can only carry up to five items at a time. Clones will put all items they have gathered in storage when they return to base. If they die, half of their items will appear in storage.

You can call clones back to base at any time, but it is not instantaneous; they will have to run back.

Clones have nine stats.
Level - The level of the clone. Starts at 1.
XP - The amount of experience the clone has. Getting 100 XP will level up the clone.

Leveling up will allow the clone to apply +1 to any of these stats:
HP - Hit points. When this reaches 0, the clone dies.
Attack - How hard the clone will hit an opponent; the higher the attack, the more damage the clone deals.
Defense - How much damage the clone can withstand; the higher the defense, the less damage an opponent's attacks do.
Speed - How fast the clone is. This affects the turn priority; whoever has the greatest speed goes first.
Magic - How much of an effect magic items will do, offensively and defensively.
Accuracy - How accurate the clone is when attacking; the higher the accuracy, the less likely attacks will miss.
Luck - How lucky the clone; the higher the luck, the more likely good things will happen to the clone.

Items
There are six types of items clones will encounter:
Weapons - Used to attack enemies. (close-range, long-range, projectile)
Armor - Will resist a certain amount of damage. (helmet, chest plate, leggings, boots, shield)
Magic - Offensive magic items. (spells, wands, potions, auras)
Food - Used to heal stats and get status effects. (cold foods, hot foods, beverages)
Gold - Used to buy other items. Also gained from selling items.
Crafts - Used to make other items. Will cost gold to do so.

Oh we start now. Duplio Duplicates once and the Duplicated Duplicate Duplio moseys off to 0B

One of the Teddies follows the Duplicate Duplio. The other four are just kinda there I guess.

The DDD states that they were told to go East until the encountered a problem to the Teddy.

Duplio Clone 1 goes to 0B, and Teddy clone 1 follows suit.
There's a small mine field here. It might not be safe to cross, but it'll be a faster route to the lab. Try to get past it, or go someplace else?

Go down a tile.

I clone myself the maximum number of times I can, and then move them all to A2.

The Teddy with Duplio consults the map (that I'm assuming he has) and says that there's supposed to be an enemy over to the east.

Two other Teddies come out of the base and start moving towards A3.

Quote from: Wolfslime123Go down a tile.

Duplio clone 1 moves down to 1B.

Quote from: realicraftI clone myself the maximum number of times I can, and then move them all to A2.

Reali uses the Clone-a-tron 5000 and comes out with 50 clones! -50 gold
They all move to 2A. However, some of them, being unlucky, tripped and got various injuries. They lost 3 HP and lagged behind. Only 43 did not get injuries.
An enemy blocks the way! It's a robo-spider! Try to attack it?

Teddy clones 2 and 3 go down to 3A. They see some of Reali's clones and an enemy nearby. Help take down the enemy or help Reali's clones?

Duplio RTB because he realized he found a problem.

Samantha clones herself 21 times and moves down to A2. One of the Samanthas gives a bwak that roughly means "Don't attack yet!" 10 of the Samanthas begin moving around the enemy to B3 while the other 11 bwak at the Reali clones that are lagging behind.
