I'm Monk12, and I approve these game ideas.

Regarding Dokapon specifically, what's the win condition? X Gold + X Fame? I like the multiple Cities influencing one Castle idea, if you think it can be done without being tedious for the GM. I'm not sure how well the RPS format will translate to RTD, though, mostly in terms of interrupting the flow of play while you wait for somebody to pm "I favor rock!"

I tend to favor permadeath if you expect a game to be fairly long, to allow waitlisters. If this is a quicker round-based thing then respawns work too.

[IronyOwl]

Not sure on the win condition. In the game, whoever had the most stuff when the Big Bad was defeated won. Something similar could work here, or it could be based on running out of new regions to amass, hitting a certain wealth level, or something else.

[Caerwyn]

I prefer the Board Game Online idea more, to be completely honest. IronyOwl's board game sounds interesting, but the combat mechanics seems a bit...Iffy.

If nobody cares about the BGO idea, I might even start thinking more deeply on an RTD based around it...

[monk12]

Don't get me wrong, I like the BGO idea too, but I haven't played that game and thus don't have much to comment on. Some more fleshed out rules for that would be a joy. WIIIIINK

[ExKirby]

Dokapon? Oh yeah, I have that for DS somewhere in my house. Although, IIRC, thievery was decided by two dice. And I still remember the fat guy's minigame which put one player into crippling debt for the rest of the game (A level 10 spy with no weapon or shield (The lack of latter courtesy of me) and about 15000 out of pocket). Gonna see if I can find that game =D

[lawastooshort]

Bother, my idea vanished.

So, it went something like this:

Roll to be a Romantic Fiction Novelist. A PvP RtD. Player with most sales after 20 turns wins.

Phase One - writing. Each turn would have to be accompanied by appropriate romantic fiction prose. Every line above two lines would give a +1 bonus. Once the player feels they have enough words, they proceed to phase two.

Phase Two - getting it published.

Phase Three - promoting sales.


Alternatively, it would just be a quest based non-PvP game in which characters are heroines of romantic fiction and must quest to find their true love, in the style of romantic fiction. I actually prefer this one.

[Yoink]

Wait... So dedicated players could write a whole block of sappy, horrible prose and end up with something like a +43 bonus?
That sounds fun!

[lawastooshort]

Yes, if it was appropriately written. Of course, you could still roll a [1] and die or something. But [6+43] would be interesting.

Requesting in for both, especially the latter. 

Also, poetry with numbers off the scale? That must be one to see, also shows creativity.

[Yoink]

As for the second version of that idea, it could really be interesting with a dedicated enough GM & players...
Either set in modern day, or some tumultous period of history(the dark ages, 1600s Spain, WW1/2 etc), there is a lot of potential. Hang on... How about players take the rolls of eternally weepy, time-travelling damsels, who gain the ability to leap through time and space from enchanted diaries?

Or something. And then they spend the RTD questing throughout diverse time periods, unable to make another time-shift until one of them has discovered true love, at which point said maiden is ditched in that current timeframe whilst the others shoot off again!
MY GOD WE ARE GENIUSES!

[lawastooshort]

And then they transcend to truelovegoddesshood. That could work.

I was more thinking (or was I, I can't remember) along the lines of LOTR, or a ster

er wait. Was I? You know, they go to the ball with Mr Darcy and suddenly a band of orcs jumps out. Or something.

...my considering of a witty reply to Mr Darcy's dry commentary was rather delayed by my fixation on his burstingly full white jodphurs. Reader, I was smitten. I felt my fulsome bosom beating beneath my corset and 'twas only the nearby eruption of a bloodthirsty orc warband that brought my attention back to the present and away from my lustful musings. Alas, for as I observed Mr Darcy cut down these illiterate fiends with his terrifyingly manly hands, my heart was once more carried away to a land of masterful dance, exquisite tearoom conversation and private luxury yachts. I knew that Mr Darcy possessed all three...

Prinny RTD

Spoiler: Sign-Up Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name:
Why did you become a Prinny:
Weapon:

Spoiler: Weapons (click to show/hide)

Morning Star - A weapon most likely stolen from the grave of some long dead fool, this weapon packs the most punch, and has the most damaging attack. +1 to attack roll
Spear - A nice spear made of rotten wood, and a chipped pointy stone made for pricking your foes to death by annoyance. Ranged-Melee, can cause Bleeding effect.
Pistol - What kind of deranged, lunatic Prinny wouldn't want to run around with a gun in hand, and bullets of death screaming through the air? Ranged, can attack twice
Frying Pan - Another staple of the Prinny arsenal, but this one is used more to knock opponents out, and let the Prinny bludgeon the enemy to death. Each hit has a 1d6 chance of stunning the foe.
Twin Daggers- Dual blades, the trademark weapon of Prinnies, are lethal in your hands, and are much faster then other weapons available to you. Allows you to attack twice per turn.
Axe - The armory ran out of weapons ages ago, and this bent, and dented hunk of junk is all that was left to arm you. When a successful hit is scored the target gains a -1 penalty to defense rolls.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

Combat consists of rolling opposing 1d6s to determine damage dealt, the bigger the gap between the two the more damage that is dealt to the opponent. Damage is calculated by multiplying the difference between the two rolls by the Damage Rating(DR) of a weapon. In Combat there are two different types of weapons Ranged and Melee, Ranged weapons can attack from a distance (Ranged user attack before melee and are distanced from melee users) and melee units can attack up close and personal (Units that use ranged and get involved in melee suffer a -1 to attack/defense rolls).

Damage Chart
5 Points above the opponent's defense roll - 5*DR
4 Points above the opponent's defense roll - 4*DR
3 Points above the opponent's defense roll - 3*DR
2 Points above the opponent's defense roll - 2*DR
1 Points above the opponent's defense roll - 1*DR
0 Points above the opponent's defense roll - No damage

Spoiler: Leveling (click to show/hide)

Prinnies gain XP equal to their enemies level when that enemy is slain, once enough XP is gathered, and the XP needed to level up is reached the Prinny levels up. Leveling up gives that prinny more Hit Points, and a skill they can use in combat. Each level up increase the needed XP for the next level by 1.5x, rounding up if needed.

Spoiler: HL, Shopping, & Revival (click to show/hide)

Each enemy you kill, and each mission you complete earns you HL which can be used to buy new gear, healing items, revive your fallen allies, and buy pretty much anything a Prinny would want. HL is the basic currency of the this world, and being reborn in it you have to use it if you wish to survive and be reborn back into the real world which is your ultimate and final goal.

Between missions you will have access to several different shops, the weapon store, the previously owned armor store, the general store, and the Prinny Council. The weapon store is obvious, it sells bigger and better weapons with which you can kill and maim your foes, or even yourself if your that dumb. The Armor Store sells you better protective gear to save your life from the strongest of foes you'll face, and the explosions you will suffer through. The general store sells items that restore health, and such along with the more unique thievery tools and special one of a kind items. The Prinny Council is a mystery to you at the moment.

You are a Prinny, you explode and get reborn just to explode again, and your allies are capable of bringing you back to life ... or letting you die and saving their HL for better gear to let them survive. The cost of reviving any character is their HP*5 HL + MP*5 HL, thus it can be a very costly process to put your Hell towards when you could save it for yourself.

Here is my slightly improved Prinny RTD idea, quick deaths preferred, and allies as bombs expected.

[lawastooshort]

Are you going to do it?

[adwarf]

Are you going to do it?

:\ Maybe, if I do I'd probably work out all the stats for items and enemies before I start it so as not to drag me down.

[Caellath]

Prinnies being used as a missile battery. Just saying.
