The progressive ruleset is way too complicated for my tastes.

Replace "get [6]" with "get +1" and it's something to consider, though. I had wanted it to be more organic than that, but I suppose I could just arbitrarily assign specialties as it came up. I'll have to think about this more.

I really don't like "if you start as X you suck at Y," though. I'd like it if anyone could theoretically learn anything.

All this talk of necromancy... I am interest.

In all seriousness, It sounds very interesting.

Specializations:

One way would be to track spells' levels, too, but that would be complex.

Though I really can't think of any other ways.

Spells:

Hmmm... you could have it that spells can be automatically learned from scrolls, but require a dice roll to be learned from scratch.

Try different levels my way: The higher the level, the harder it gets to cast, but the more multiplied the effects.

I hope so, but he's got at least four currently running. :-\
I have three running my AC RTD which is currently at turn 8 I believe, my Disgaea RTD at turn 3 with 3 players, and simple system, and my Alchemist RTD with 8 Players, Indepth Story, and Semi Complex Combat. Also yes I am just making rulesets for them, and if anyone wants one of the rulesets I am not using they cna have it.

Spoiler: Backstory to an RTD (click to show/hide)

This is the backstory to an RTD I am working on which I can't think of a name to. What do you think, and do you have an idea for a name?

Can I recommend Shadow President to base it off of? I haven't played it a whole lot, but I'm pretty sure it'd be a good starting point.

 I already started writing. :<
 It will be somewhat like Total War the RTD. Political map will have strict rules without dice, combat will be shown schematically and use a mixture of rules and dice.

So another C@W?

Meh. I was hoping for a more diplomacy-related game. Oh well.

Don't really have ideas on making games more diplomatic. And I'm still going to make the game have tactical combat. The auto-resolve style of combat is just...meh. If you can suggest how to make it more diplomatic, sure.

Edit: Argh... too many ideas. I shouldn't post in this thread. Anyway, I'll host what I'll host.

Alright. I'm going to do the Overlord RtD. I'm going to need help with the system however, though I have a rough synopsis of what the players are:
