Actual play! D02: Know no Limit

Yes. I did it. And as a bonus, it was set at the eurovision song contest. Kudos to Max, the guy who suggested that. Also, this was a madcap and silly game, so this account is only vaguely accurate, and may well offend. If it helps, we're all british.


I mad pergens for the playersd, so they dint need to think bout concepts. They were:
Gabriel Black, who was sorta liek Jin from tekken, with a bit of angel from buffy, and a katana. He has a cool scar, and tatoos.
Hans Blade, who looked like some guy I saw ina comic. Hehad a flick knife and some lugers, and made dramatic entrances. He wor a black leather trenchcoat and shadeds.
Mathias Grimm, who wa a kung fu master who could parry bullets wit hish ands. He had a lether trench coat and mirror shades
Madcat was Bruce willis in Die hard, and was very hard to kil, but had no shoes.


Gneral Mayhem told them wot to do: they were figting the war on terror, an had to help the brits against 'freedom'. A super-speshul 'freedom covert srtike team was tring to kil Terry Wogan at the eurovision, but I dint tell them wot they were doing til they got thwere. so theyd hav to do it!!!1
They went there, but Mathais killed there pilot with a cocktail pick, and they crashed near the stadium. Luckily, Hans made his dramatic entrance, so there was a baddass shot of them posing as it exploded behind them. They got in, becos they had tickets, and I started playin bad europop at them, an told them the mission in a flashback.

They split up to find Wogan, Grimm started selling hamburgers with his Hamburger clearnce skill, Gabriel got a coat and kidcked a dor down so people thugh he was David Borealis(you know, that angle guy, from buffy...) Hans got lost an madcat went to the BBC booth, where terry was. He found the 'freedom' woman who says 'null pwaa' all the time, and failed to kill her with the machine gun he'd got (hohoho), but she failed to kill him back, so he killed her again, and passed. He turned roud, and thefrench ninja, which I called the black berets (with a french accent!!!1!!1) attacked him, led by Capitan France, whol was an uber-leet ninja!
Grimm threww lots of hamburgers with his kung fu skill, killing ninja with a chicken royal! Tehn madcat found another nmachine gun (hohoho), and made ninja die, as the others arrived to kick butt, capitan france used an ninja smoke bomb to escape. (cos i dint want him to die yet). Then they killed all the ninja, and Grimm used his 'secure Wogan' skill to put terry wogan in a plastic ninja proof box. Then they took the ninjas stuff!

On the way, Gabriel walked past a small school kidwho passed his 'get kidnaqpped' roll, so Gabriel kidnapped him. He was one of the 'freedom' commadoes, and always got captured, so he got the get kidnapped skill.
Then the dedly seductres 'chocolat Noir' turned up and flashed Hans, who failed to resist seduction. luckily he managed to pass his 'take (it) like a man' tests, including when she stabbed him. At some point, Grimm tripped her up with a hamburger, which was impaled on her stileto heel! Tehn Grimm ran her over with a motorbike!!11!!!1!!!! She wasnt supposed to die then, so I made the kid into a necromancer, but didn't tell noone, as I'm the D02 master!
Then madcat made himslef look like Wogan, an ten Grimm used 'secure Wogan' on him, so he was also in a plastic box, somadcat decide to be solid snake instead, so he could move the box around. Then he made the kid look like wogan,and grimm secured him to.

Then there were some russians, so they tried to kill the commies, an managed to kill stalin and lenin, which kinda ended my russian clone plot, which Id just though of. Then they killed the russian entrance to the eurovision, they made the american entry by Grimm using his 'impersonate elvis' skill so the show wouldn't stop. Then they went back to check on Terry, and thre werw more ninja, who laughted and went back to japan. Then the french ninja attacked, and were kicked in the face or killed with food, then theyre stuff got taken.

Then it was time for the showdown, as the french decided to attack en-mass, with accordians. I played accordian music till their brains leaked!!! Then the called in back up and went to attack the french,who turned out to have super powers. The bad guys were:

Captain France and his Black beret ninja, who had accordians and could resist an unlimited ammount of accordian music.
Bagette Man had Cake kinesis, and attacked with lethal croisons and pastrys.
Ze Onion, who had a many layers personailty, and would make grown men cry if he was peeled.
Grand Bleu, who was liek superman, but a nazi spy, but the 'freedom' guys didn't know it.
I also had Chocolat Noir come back from the dead, just becos.

Soi they fought, with Bagette man throwin cakes at them, which grimm parried with his bare hands (cos they were like bullets) and Gabriel 'sliced, diced and jullienne fries' them.
Hans made a dramatic entrance with his reinforcements (one of the back up characters I'd written), so they made lots of peoples fall down, while madcat started swimming back from the pacific (he critticaly failed to 'be where the action is').
Grimm put the kung fu beatdown on Noir, while Gabriel invoked bullet time and strated wire wighting with Grand Bleu in the rafters, while Hans called in the amrines, who came down on ropes from helicopters, while madcat re-loaded from his last save to get back to the fight. Thjen he pretended to bee Captain France, and nearly got killed by Grimm, as dEATH_01 (one of the back up guys) killed a whole bucnh of epople, then crit failled his twin katana death whirlwind roll and killed him sefl.
Gabe tried to kill Grand Blue, but failed and found out he was a communist, so mad cat used 'kill commie scum' to hit him with a scorpian tank (+16), while Grimm killed Noir with his 'finish them' skill, getting a 56 hit combo to explode her! Madcat disguised Capitan france as Wogan, so Grimm coulkd secure him, while Hans killed lotsa ninjas.
This left baggette man, who formed a wall against the PC's quadruple team. 2 of them failed, but the other 2 were using 2 weapons each, so it was still a quadrupal team. Madcat shot though the wall of cake so gabriel could jump at him with twin katanas, which made Bagette man dead.

Then, they took their stuff, and the USA won the Eurovision song contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!


After all that, I recon that D02 ownz all your asses, and makes me ant to beat up grannies. The ninja rules are good, but I didnt use he crocdiles ninjas, so I dnt know about them. The sytem is graet, and its easy to work out wot happens.

Talking

I think from now on, I'll assess any new game on whether or not you can do this with it.

This frustrates me because I ordered d02 and I still have not received my copy. Must be continuing warehouse problems.

Dude, did you really do this? Did you actually run a game of D02: Know No Limit? And did it really turn out this cool? If you're not bullshitting me, then my faith in roleplaying will be restored. Furthermore, I will be inspired to act on the urge I've had for a while to attempt to run an online game of D02: Know No Limit myself. If I did this, would anyone be interested?

I did indeed run a game of D02, as a one off at a university roleplaying society event thingy. The game lasted perhaps 3 hours at most, as, unlike any other game I've ever played, combat is *fast*. Bloody fast. Even without any 'kill every mutha fucker in the room' skillz, a room full of ninjas takes aboiut 10 minutes real time to clear up. Even Feng Shui would take around 20 odd.
The players got the rules quickly (how could they not?), especialy the one about adding to the sheets when I wasn't looking. Later, I'll have to post some 'before and after' character sheets.
And yes, it did turn out that damn cool. Mostly down to having players that could find interesting uses for limited powers, and could think of new ones on the fly (examples: using 'dramatic entrance' to survive a helicopter crash, or the remarkably useful 'secure Wogan' skill), plus an insane yet topical concept.
But, at it's heart, D02 know no limit. I actualy think it could work for serious games, if the GM does more control on the skills. As it stands, it's ace for one offs and just for kicks games.


Jess: I'm using rules pieced togeather from internet rumours I found on a forum. Don't worry, I've not managed to scam a copy ahead of you.
