Welcome to Steal the Moon, the RTD!
(This'll be my first ever RTD that I've GM'd, so please bear with me.)
You file into a large, circular room along with a few business men like yourself. A large, curved screen dominating the far wall. A wooden business table had been set up in the center with several chairs waiting. You ease yourself down into a chair, looking at the over at the screen, it suddenly lighting up with a completely generic man standing there with a wide grin on his face. “Welcome, welcome!” He says with a faint accent you can't quite pin down.
“Why are we here?” You ask them man on the screen, glancing at the gathered CEO's of various companies. The man on the screen suddenly speaks up, “Well, I'm glad you asked! Why, you're going to steal the moon! Yes, that's right, you heard correctly.” Some CEO's grumble about their time being wasted and immediately walk out of the room.
“But wait,” Someone asks, “Why would I do that?” The man simply replies with, “Well, it's simple! Publicity! And for the lulz!” Yet another person speaks up, obviously excited. “That sounds great! How do I do that though?!” One of the CEO's pipe up. “Any way you can! Rockets, probably!” Screen guy says, yet another “Well.. Is that all?” You ask the man once again. “Goodness no, that wouldn't be chaotic enough! Infact..” there's some assorted mumbling, as if talking to someone off screen. “It's decided! We'll screw around with the laws of physics!” Everyone goes silent for a moment, glancing between each other before the man speaks up once again. “So! For those still interested, please fill out this liability waiver/informational item!”
Name: (Self explanatory.)
Company Name and Initials: (Should be self explanatory.)
Company Type: (Like, 'Care manufacturer' or 'Oil Prospectors')
Other Information: (If you want to put a bio of your character/company or something, put it here.)
Publicity: 0 (This is actually for me, don't change this please.)
Suspicion: 0 (Still for me, woo)
“Great! Now, go on and steal that moon!” The screen then abruptly shuts off, leaving everyone looking at each-other, waivers in hand wondering what just happened. The screen lights up briefly again. “Oh, and don't let the authorities catch you, good luck!” It once again, shuts off. Remaining off this time.
(So yeah, this should hopefully be fairly interesting, sorry for the wall of text and such, but most the general premise is: Steal the moon, gain publicity, and exploit physics. Though I'm not an expert on most of those things, but I'll try my best. Oh, and if you feel like anything's missing/incorrect/awkward with the OP, or you'd like to suggest/give constructive criticism, go for it! I'm still very new to GMing and could really use the knowledge.)
