1''[[http://rpgcode.ultimaterpg.org/t3-roll-to-dodge-rules Roll to Dodge]]'' is a free-form role-playing game (usually played over forum or IRC) designed to have simple enough rules that anyone can jump in and start playing immediately. The rules are simple; each player submits an action, and the GM rolls a six-sided die to determine the result of each player's efforts. There are six levels of success, depending on the number rolled:
2
3[1] - EpicFail. The action was not performed, and backfired horribly.
4
5[2] - Fail. Nothing happened.
6
7[3] - Partial Success. The exact degree of success is established by the GM.
8
9[4] - Success. The action was carried out adequately.
10
11[5] - Epic Success. The action succeeded in the most positive way possible.
12
13[6] - Overshot. Though the result was achieved, [[GoneHorriblyRight the action backfires horribly due to disproportionately large effort.]]

15Various forums across the internet dedicated to hosting games of RTD have popped up, but the most active is still the [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=19.0 RTD board on the Bay12 Forums]]. Of course, [[Roleplay/TVTropesRollToDodge we have our own game running right here on the TV Tropes Forum!]]
