You can do that when I start it up. Right now I have no idea how it'll work, excepting combat as that'll be a D6 system.

5-10. Even if it's a small group of players expect a LOT of death on both sides. LOTS!

I would have to say those are both really good ideas.

Well before I completely finish the ruleset for a ROTK RTD I decided to ask you guys if a Countries @ War Style RTD game is a good idea, or should I just make the rules for the Forum Games, and Roleplaying Section?

Make the rules for Forum Games. C@W is not a good game to make into a RTD-type game.

If it were more diplomacy oriented, however, it could be better fitted to an RTD-style game.

Yes, I still want a diplomacy game. If one doesn't pop up sometime, I'm gonna make one myself. :<

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.

As I recall, Countries at War collapsed due to overcomplexity. Multiple times.

What do you mean by diplomacy, exactly?

It will have diplomacy aspects to it if you chose to create your own faction otherwise you would have to becoem a high ranking officer in one of the other factions to be able to do any diplomacy. The game is heavily based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms game series (I own 7, and 8, and have played 6-11) so it will be a little complex, but it should be simple enough if its the only RTD you are going to run.

Shadow President type. AKA:
USA: Oh hi Iran I'll station five-million troops in Afghanista-
Iran: OH NO YOU DON'T *NUKE*
Everyone else around: WTF IRAN *Invade invade invade*
Some-other-country-around-there: USA? Would you please move away those troops?
USA: No.
Some-other-country-around-there: *Condemns actions of the USA*
USA: OH YOU BASTARD *Condemns actions of the other guy*
Russia: Oh I'm so glad we're out of the Cold War with those two maniacs going about.
China: Russia, since the USA is currently busy, we're coming to take your stuffs.
Russia: Shit.

Just a simplified and silly example, but you get my idea, right?

After playing the zombie roguelike Cataclysm, I kinda want to do a system similar to that game. One of the things I really want to add is Morale, a players Morale starts at a certain rate and slightly goes down whenever the player is moving around, doing something, etc. Morale can be restored by doing something that makes you happy, winning a big battle, or like in the game Drugs! Drugs will be included but using them has some drawbacks obviously. Using a stimulant type drug would make you go faster, and react quicker. But you can get addicted to it, and after the effects wear off you'll be extremely tired an suffer a penalty. Any suggestions?

I am still working out the rest of it but this is what I have so far.

ROTK RTD -

The Yellow Turban Rebellion -
A Chinese Three Kingdoms era decorated brick taken from the wall of an underground tomb, with miniature paintings depicting people in domestic scenesThe power of the Eastern Han Dynasty went into depression and steadily declined after the reign of Emperor He from a variety of political and economic problems. A series of Han emperors ascended the throne while still youths, and de facto imperial power often rested with the emperors' older relatives. As these relatives occasionally were loath to give up their influence, emperors would, upon reaching maturity, be forced to rely on political alliances with senior officials and eunuchs to achieve control of the government. Political posturing and infighting between imperial relatives and eunuch officials was a constant problem in Chinese government at the time. During the reigns of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, leading officials' dissatisfaction with the eunuchs' usurpations of power reached a peak, and many began to openly protest against them. The first and second protests met with failure, and the court eunuchs persuaded the emperor to execute many of the protesting scholars. Some local rulers seized the opportunity to exert despotic control over their lands and citizens, since many feared to speak out in the oppressive political climate. Emperors Huan and Ling's reigns were recorded as particularly dark periods of Han Dynasty rule. In addition to political oppression and mismanagement, China experienced a number of natural disasters during this period, and local rebellions sprung up throughout the country.

In the second month of 184, Zhang Jiao, leader of the Way of Supreme Peace, a Taoist movement, along with his two brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, led the movement's followers in a rebellion against the government that was called the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Their movement quickly attracted followers and soon numbered several hundred thousands and received support from many parts of China. They had 36 bases throughout China, with large bases having 10,000 or more followers and minor bases having 6,000 to 7,000, similar to Han armies. Their motto was:

"The firmament has perished, the Yellow Sky will soon rise; in this year of jiazi, let there be prosperity in the world!"

Emperor Ling dispatched generals Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun to lead the Han armies against the rebels, and decreed that local governments had to supply soldiers to assist in their efforts. You are the leaders of small groups of voulunteer soldiers who have decided to join one of the two sides, and help them win the war.
