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.

:3 I'll keep an eye out for it.

@Tarran: Yeah, but I don't mind filling it out. It looks like Hunter the Reckoning (I'm pretty sure VtM and so forth use it too) to me, and if it was organized into a character sheet for that it would be a lot smaller, I'm sure. It shouldn't be that difficult IIRC.

Yeah, White Wolf got a good system and stuck with it. Part of the inspiration for the D-22 ruleset overhaul actually.

I mean, SERIOUSLY, that huge sheet means GIGANTIC rules.

That is going to kill someone, some time. Likely you when you have to go through a turn or the players signing up...

For the most part it's just assigning points. ^^ I think it's like for the first three (Physical Mental Social) you have 9, 7, and 5 points; you can put the 9 in Mental, the 7 in Social, and the 5 in Physical, or however you wanna do it, and then assign that amount of points to the stats in that division. I'm not sure how Wraith differs from Hunter, or what Draignean's planning to do with it, but he's got my interest regardless.

EDIT for addition: To put it another way you won't be able to tell much of a difference between this and D22. If you want to drive, you roll your Driving skill, if you want to jump a fence you roll your Athletics skill, smoothtalk your way past the secretary you use Bureaucracy, etc.

So, I've been thinking about starting up another RTD as life is pretty calm right now.  I want it to be something quick though before life can get crazy on me again.  I already have Zealots and Demons, and was thinking about maybe doing a spin-off of that, but I'm open to persuasion for other subject matter, especially if you want to work out the system for me.  If you present a system and subject matter I like you are guaranteed a spot in the RTD if you wish.  Any takers?   8)

What kind of RTD are you going to do (fantasy, sci-fi, etc)? How complex can you handle? How much bonuses can you take before you say enough? It'd help people present a system.

I already have a fantasy RTD going right now, so I'd prefer a different setting, though fantasy isn't out.  If you look at Z&D I have no problems with complexity so long as the rules are mostly clear.  As for bonuses I'm not certain what you mean.  I prefer balanced systems so I won't intentionally imbalance the system for favoritism of any one person.  Also I'm probably overly nice as a DM and don't hand out insta-death on any but the rarest of circumstances.  I think that is about all that really matters.

What I mean about bonuses is: Do you consider a +2, +4, or a +10 bonus absurd, if just for the number's size and the size of numbers needed to counter it?

Anyway, if you want I could give you a version of my RTD's ruleset. Pretty solid as far as I can tell, and it's the second edition, so glaring problems have been kinda fixed.

It's not that I can't make my own rule set, it'll just get the RTD started faster if I don't have to come up with a system for a new (to me) genre of RTD. And no, for most bonuses I use them against difficulty checks, so they can go as high as you want.  Combat bonuses are pretty much capped at +5 for both sides however.

Hmm, for setting, have you considered a horror-type thing where the players are normal people against some kind of supernatural entity? By that I mean anything from our esteemed Monsieurs Voorhees, Krueger, or Myers to eldritch abominations like Taricus or Cthulu.

Lolololololol. Also, imagine what would happen if Taricus joined. He would be fighting himself!
