Probably not... We could maybe do a roundabout one that still includes the end-act bosses...

[Digital Hellhound]

A question: has anyone ever actually started an RTD/used a system suggested in this thread? This thread is great for getting ideas and criticism for your own game ideas, but I've yet to see the former happen.

[SeriousConcentrate]

The Endless RTD counts since it was first suggested here.

[adwarf]

Yep, but the person who suggested it is running it, and started it :/

[TolyK]

And anyone remember Pattern Anamoly? Or was that in FG&RP?

[Dwarmin]

@Powder Miner: How is this for a first Act spoiler? As if I just needed an excuse to write bad fiction, yes.
Also, tell me you have a combat system prepared...

Diablo RTD
Act 1:The Siege of Duncraig



You want a story? Very well then.

Once upon a time, our Duncraig was the proudest city in all of West March, it's true capital in all but name. Her walls were impregnable, Her soldiers the most well trained in the land, and her people prosperous and happy, for the most part...but, nothing lasts forever, as you can see.

The destruction of the Worldstone has bought us years of peace, at a price-our long watch has finally grown complacent, and we now allow ourselves to believe that perhaps the horrors of the Demonic invasions were a thing of the past. They were now stories we could tell our grandchildren to reassure them we had no more reason to be afraid. That's what I told mine. We lied. We all lied.

The sky has begun to boil once more-fell shadows in the clouds, searching and marking those who might defy them... I do not have eyes to see, but I know. I can smell it on the air. There is something...under the ground you stand on now. Something they want, and they will come through here to get it...Years ago I fought them-and we won, and Sanctuary lived. But, how little we enjoyed our victory...so many of us, dead and gone. Or worse than dead. The day I put out my eyes to keep the visions away..I knew that Hell had a long memory, and would never forgive those who dared stand against it, then or now.

So, who will fight this time? Who will save this world? Who will stand against them?

What hope could you ever have?

[Powder Miner]

I had been about to say that a dungeon crawl a la CvRTD might be fine, but that works too.

I'm going to use the same system I used in my dead Thearchy RTD- although I can't set it up today, watching movie with dad.

[Gatleos]

Yep. That sounds like the makings of a true classic.
Just imagine, a Bay12 roadtrip. The booze, (actually pure alchohol and thus rather lethal) the babes, (psychotic knife murderers/werewolves or something in disguise) the wheels (a stolen cement mixer/tractor/icecream truck) and the open road...
As we try to get to the next B12 meetup on time, despite being on the other side of the/a country, hopelessly lost and at each other's throats.

This is actually starting to sound pretty good, but I can't help but think it might be better as a RP. The more the merrier, being a road trip and all.

A freeform RP in terms of the old "Keeping up with Bay12" thing would be interesting. Minus all of the crazy stupid combat that happened in that rp and the collapse of the story under the weight of all of the mary sues, but I'd be interested.

Wasn't that the hideous 1400+ page nightmare of insanity and mod-expurgated sex?

Well, it was more like an 100+ page nightmare of bad roleplaying and trenchcoating/marysues/garysues/everythingbadeverhappeningatonce.

I did get a list of people I never want to roleplay with again from that experience though. People didn't understand that a bunch of people living in an apartment meant "No combat roleplaying" apparently.

[adwarf]

I just stopped after awhile, because people were making it based on combat

Same. I mean, I really just wanted a nice non-combat RP...

Congrats, you now know what me and Fniff talk about every single fucking day.

I really liked it until people started making it seem .... meh.

Why do you talk about it everyday ?
