Just curious, Adwarf, could I get a spot reserved for the Oblivion RTD? It's one of my favourite games, and I feel that I must be in atleast 6-7 RTDs along with running my current 3. I'm insane, in a different way than most...

Sure if I get enough intrest then I will run it (I am thinking eight players for the oblivion RTD maybe ten)

Eight is alot of people for an RTD, and ten is an insane amount. Unless you want to have to keep track of ten people's stats every turn, you probally want to stick with six players. Besides, no offence but you don't exactely stick with your RTD's and Forum Games for long.

Call me insane then. All 3 of my RTDs have 8-10 players I think

Ugh I couldn't imagine running 8-10 players, to hectic to manage for me personally.

To be fair, I don't have many stats for any of them, so I don't have to keep track of that much. (I love focusing on story, and I'm too lazy to think of a decent system.)

[adwarf]

If it is a simple system than I understand it, but if its like my Oblivion one, or your Fallout one BD then six is the best amount you could have.
Also I just checked and my oblivion ruleset is 23.4 KB file thats the largest RTD file I have on my computer, and I have eight of them so far, and out of those two are WIP (Dead Space, and Gears of War RTDs)

[Bdthemag]

Im the opposite, I make up a complex system sometimes and totally forget about the story.

Also I had an idea, since I update alot and get bored when im not able to update and I have nothing to do. What if someone ran an RTD on IRC or something like that?

[adwarf]

I am not really sure how that would work out. Does anyone have any RTD ideas that I could work on (I like projects to work on while waiting for the players of my RTDs to post their turns.)

EDIT: I was going to do a Resident Evil RTD, but I can't write horror, so that went straight down the drain.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Also I'm going to say don't do that because if anyone's going to run RE it's going to be the guy who played the game until the disc literally couldn't be read by his PS1 anymore, ie me.

I wasn't planning on running it just making a ruleset for it.

EDIT: Well I have a couple of ideas for an RTD which should I work on next?

1.) WW2 RTD
2.) Infamous RTD (With new, and varying Powers of course)
3.) Halo RTD
4.) Medival RTD
5.) Vampires, Werewolf Fantasy RTD

[adwarf]

Sorry about the double post (my eighth one probably in three days) but I just got an idea while diggin through my old games how about a Disgaea RTD ?

1.) Not another one...
2.) Sure, why not.
3.) Sure, why not.
4.) Boring, generic. Also, it's "medieval".
5.) Overrated.

 I'm probably going to start the urban fantasy RTD I talked about earlier. Just need some more ideas. Some ideas I already have:
 Classes are based on casting style: atheist magic-is-natural symbolists/numerologists, pagan shamanic/druid magic, dark demon/Cthulhu-or-something worshipers, classical religions... (I probably should read up on religious/magical rituals for some of these) They would have distinct casting styles and spells. Symbolists draw arcane symbols which take some time, but have really versatile spells, shamans have to prepare the entire territory for spell casting, but can cast spells in their territory without any rituals or chanting, western religions chant, eastern... I should read up on that, dark arts require sacrifices in form of blood and for stronger magic, corpses, but have the strongest spells.
 There should be a lot of faction politics. The factions I thought up now are the government (obvious choice), the faction peacekeeping force, the neutral faction that deals in information, and the evil faction, power-hungry and warlike variety with some "magicians are better, normal humans are disposable resources" thrown in. The world should be somewhat gray and black, so I need a few more "good" factions that are still somewhat unlikeable. Of course, you can be unaligned.
 Also there would be arcane zones, which can only be entered by magicians and are inhabited by various monsters and have crazy stuff happening all the time. They are space anomalies since a normal person can see, say, a warehouse, while a magician can find an entire different world inside it. Arcane zones would time from time go unstable, releasing some dark forces into the outside world. The government is aware of the existence of magic and arcane zones, but doesn't understand them and keep it secret from the civilians. Magic is banned and considered a danger to humanity, so magic users are hunted.
 Also, as mentioned, the main idea is "magic is for information/mobility/support, guns are for combat". Fireballs can be used to set a house or forest on fire, lightning can kill someone in water, but most of the time, firing a gun is much more efficient and effective. Magic should be used to track someone, to become invisible, to teleport, to heal between fights...

Tomas, if you make a necromancer class reserve me a spot

Spells are pretty much anything you want, as long as it fits with the theme of your casting style and isn't overpowered. So a dark arts practitioner or some kinds of pagan magicians could raise the dead, but a priest or monk, not so much.

1) No, no thanks. Not only would it be controversial to portray one side as weaker than the other or as assholes, but it's just not really the kind of thing I'd be interested in.
2) Never played it before, wouldn't know.
3) Why not. Halo's pretty much the only thing I know a lot about...
4) Meh...
5) Meh...

1. No, to many of those.
2. Sounds interesting.
3. Halo is more of a shooter game and doesn't have a really good story.
4. Meh, overdone.
5. Also overdone.

[adwarf]

Ok then I will begin doing the rulesets for Infamous, and Halo RTDs (Almost finished with the Disgaea RTD Ruleset)
