3 votes, don't have to use them all, just note the first two options are mutually exclusive.
Just curious, really. I'd like to get a feel for it.

Comment if you've got some insight you'd like to share.

also, I will run just about anything :D. Depending on how Roll to Brains goes, I'll throw up one or two more in other genres.

And here I expected this to be an RTD about some odd metagame thing where we play the players in an RTD attempting to survive the Everything Trying to Kill you world the sadistic GM has thrust us into.

I thought this to...
In fact it gives me an idea...
Shame I'm to lazy to act on it.

I would try to host an RTD, but I'm too nervous. :P I don't know if it'd be good enough.

With me it's more a case of not wanting to put the time and effort in to do the rolls E.T.C.

BITE THE BULLET! Come on you MAGGET you wanna live forever?!

but srsly, welcome to forum games. I've found they're either AWESOME or fall apart pretty quick. Either way, go for it. worst that can happen is nobody like it and you learn something.

Well thats how I started my RTD, didn't find one that I wanted, had an idea I thought was awesome and presented it to the community.

Luckily people saw it interesting.

I've discovered that I like GMing a lot more than playing. I'm not sure why, but I find it fun maybe you will too

I've hosted/am hosting a few RTDs, and will for a long time.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.
