You are now a team of crack mercenaries killing people and doing awesome things. In other words, roll to A-Team. No wait, scratch that. The A-Team thing is just how I'm starting it out; you can take it any direction you want after that. Giant robots included... maybe they get sent into the future and Howling Mad Murdock pilots a Gundam or some shit I DON'T KNOW

Sound good for a vague premise?

Fine by me, though mercs are a pretty dark basis for a story. You can't really do a light-hearted story with a bunch of violent hired thugs.

Also, is either of you looking for a GM slot, dermonster and Serious? The more the merrier.

[Dermonster]

How about a five man team of random jackasses who get violently thrown through cracks in reality to different planes of existance?

I suppose I could GM for a short while at some point, which would be kinda awkward and meta-gamey hell as I am definately a player.

This computer has red lines but no right click auto correct and it bothers me. 

[SeriousConcentrate]

As a GM, no. I don't want to give short shrift to my current RTDs, but I'm in as a player.

[Digital Hellhound]

The beauty of this RTD is that you don't need to GM it for that long, so any hiatus that might be caused by it would soon be over again.

Hell yes.

[SeriousConcentrate]

If you really want me to be a GM, then just say so and I'll do it... though we still need to establish what happens to characters when the player takes over as GM.

[Bdthemag]

The players create a general character that will be used for all GM's, the story could be that they are being randomly transported through time and space.

I would also be interested at some point, but I just don't have the ability right now.



ah yes, this is what I meant:

[Digital Hellhound]

You're thinking of lawa's idea from earlier. The GMs and players are separate here.

Nah, I'm not forcing you into anything. I've been neglecting my own RTDs like hell for awhile now (I blame NaNoWriMo! It's taking all my time!), so I'm not really in a position to say anything. This is unlikely to be so much work as them, though. Most of my update time for the two goes into the mechanics and rules, while here I only have to struggle with my obsession with writing walls of text. For Science! had a simpler system and I updated quicker as well.

[Dermonster]

Right, if we don't get this started soon it will fall apart, I fear. Gat, your idea is fine, if a bit dark. Black comedy? I love that stuff. We need to get this up before one or all of us kill one or all of us.

If I'm a player and then become a GM, what happens to my character? That's what I was asking.

Then your character is Put On A Bus or is turned into an NPC, whatever you prefer. You can't be a player and a GM at the same time.

[Gatleos]

RTD... IS black comedy. So are we going with the alternate reality thing? I'm afraid my setup for a premise like that would involve a ragtag gang of mercenaries pursuing a time-traveling Adolf Hitler through the multiverse.

[Digital Hellhound]

I love that, can we have that as an overaching main plot? Now I can have Nazi mad scientists!

Er. Why is that bad?
