I think it would be useful to have ones that determine NPC/Monster personality or combat behavior.

We could have adjectives like:

Cautious
Bold
Aggressive
Defensive
Determined
Reactionary
Rage Prone
Fearful
Cunning
Stupid
I actually thought of running a game with an enemy adjective system like this, and it would include stuff like hungry, or bored, to determined behavior and possible diplomacy tactics.

In generator news: Added several more effects. It's up to 300 now!

In RTD news, here's an RTD I've been cooking up for some time. It's basically an RTD about criminals who have either become involved with magic or have gained magical powers. It's meant to be a cross between GTA and World of Darkness. Here's the mechanics.

And now the weather.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to run it right now, but anyone is free to use the premise if I don't. Just tell me first, I'd like to join up.

No, that was just a joke. I just gotta catch a bus, gotta watch news, gotta regiment and plan for the day.

Well, get your bus pass ready, because if you don't have it ready then the people on the bus get annoyed.

For those who don't have the good taste to know what we're talking about, it's Welcome To Nightvale, possibly one of the best podcasts of all time. The joke is that the Weather section of the news is always a song and 'Waiting For The Bus in The Rain' is the song for the second episode of the podcast. I highly encourage everyone to listen to it.

I don't have anything to contribute to this thread right now than references and advertisements, so I'll leave off here. :P

As will I.

ALTHOUGH, I do want to announce that I have dropped the Mage Suicide Games RTD, but, if anyone is up to the task, they can start up the new thread themselves and run the actual game however they want. I've got a shitty map prepared, if they need one.

Okay, so I might run the criminal thing. Who'd be up for it?

Lots of people, I would say. I would, for instance.

Anyone running any RTD would bring in players-most players try anything, and there are those which are attracted to certain types or themes of RTDs.

That said, I guess I'd be up for it. Just have to make my literary villain face now :I

Though I'm pretty interested on how all that background would be incorporated in-game, if in case players have to be connected to each other instead of it being a choice. Brainstorm answer request thanks :D

I'd be up for trying it at the very least.

They do have to be connected, but that's just a way to make sure there's a reason for everyone to want to band together. In games, it's kinda hard to get people together. You have to make circumstances that are often variations on "you all meet in a tavern". I do this myself, but I think having a personal connection between players would be a good way to make things interesting and create a sense of partnership. I might have a second part of character creation where I roll the dice and connect the players, so you have to say why you're connected to this person.
