I still think a Zelda RTD would be pretty cool.
Yeah, it'd make for a neat setting indeed.

Actually I remember one guide of MM having sort of stats, or ratings, for the different forms. 'twas jus' jumping, swimming and rolling, but eh, it's a start.

Roll for Nautical Nonsense! Each player is the commander of their own ship and crew, and character generation involves choosing both. Sloops are your maneuverable light class, Ships of the Line being your slower yet more powerful heavy class, making Frigates your Mario. Players take bonuses in the form of skilled crewmembers- Quartermasters boosting morale, Gunnery Officers improving aim, etc. Easily adapted to Scifi- Space is an Ocean, after all.

Add some somewhat realistic elements like wind direction into it and I'm in.

Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

I'd run it, but my fingers are in enough pies as it is.

And, I'm not sure how, but I very much want a game to exist based on this (and the 2 following.) TLDR- A Car Wars variant where the players drive steam-powered locomotives fitted with weapons out of a Jules Verne fever dream.

I was in one.  It went along well for about 25 turns then faded out.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.
God help us if we have to agree on pizza toppings at some point. There will be no survivors.

Roll for Adventure mode!

Play as a band of adventurers and travel across the land smiting evil (Or helping it) along the way!

Isn't that what 90% of the RTDs around here are based around?

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I've actually seen surprisingly little classic 'You all meet in a tavern in high fantasy medieval england' type games.

I like RTD's similar to that. It's a nice set-up.

I have really bad creativity.

@Kisame: I'd join it! Why not? Make it 4 or so players, and give it a test run. A simple RTD, and if it fails, so be it. More experience. What'cha waiting for? :P. Reserve me please! :D

High fantasy too! Magic! Unicorns! All that stuff.

Roll to be a Wild Pokemon! The game where players faff about in the tall grass, eating berries and murdering ten year olds and their pet rats! Alternate flavor- Roll to Find a Competent Trainer! Similar to the first, but with the hopes of joining a worthy team and fighting your way to the Championship- somewhat like the career mode of any given sports game, but y'know, Pokemon.

I'd play both of these.

Ditto. Sounds like it can be hilarious.
