Flow Skate '08

Use the Roll Tool!

Overview

• Each player will take a Run in the skate park, trying to impress the judges.
• The more technical your Run, the more likely the judges will reward you with a coveted 10.

You'll Need

• Six to ten six-sided dice. The more the better.
• Honestly, a virtual dice roller. Unless you have dozens of ten-sided dice.
• Index cards if you want to map out a skate park. (optional)

The Run

• You have 6 tricks!

Make it Sick

• As you go through your run, describe each trick passionately.
• The more exciting your trick sounds, the more likely your Competitors will support you with Hype.

Momentum

• Start with 2 Momentum and 1 Hype.
  • Start with 2 six-sided dice and 1 four-sided die in your dice pool.
• If your run flows together, you will build your Momentum.
• Each 6 rolled gives you one more Momentum.

Hype

• Competitors: as the Runner flows through their set, if you think any trick or choice they make is "sick", you can reward them with Hype.
  • Add a four-sided Hype die to their Momentum pool.
• When a Runner bails on a trick, they lose 1 Hype

Tech

• The more technical your tricks are, the higher potential score you can earn.
• You need to call your shot: say what Difficulty you're aiming for.
  • Match your Trick to one of the genres and rise to the challenge.
  • Failing to a land a trick (bailing) will reset your Momentum to 2.
    • Lose only 1 Hype.
