Well now I want to know what I missed.

As do I- silly ideas are best ideas!




RE: Dream RTD- that idea was kicking around my head today, and ultimately merged with a certain episode of the Simpsons (you'll never guess which one *cough*)

Roll to go on a Spirit Quest! The RTD where everyone takes scary hallucinogenic substances and tries to survive the vagaries of their subconscious with the help of their Spirit Guide!

Sorry, it was late, and I have forgotten.

That could conceivably work. Hmm.

[IronyOwl]

Well anyway, more silly ideas:

Spoiler: Demon's Path RTD (click to show/hide)

Players start off as imps or other low-ranking demons, and must claw their way to the top. Noteworthy events and achievements can apply special qualities, abilities, and mutations, slowly shaping them from generic low-ranking mooks to battle-hardened terrors with some bizarre qualities thrown in.

Think similar to the dragon RTDs, but with pretty much exclusively new abilities/traits being applied rather than stat points. And, obviously, more wicked and perhaps more directed.

Spoiler: Dark Lord RTD (click to show/hide)

Players start off as dire evils that have been released into the world. The world happens to be large and fairly well-armed, however, so rather than just going off and doing their own thing, they've got to bide their time, build their strength, and corrupt the very ground around them in their bid to become a world-ending evil that must be defeated at all costs.

More or less, players play as Sauron, corrupting/breeding/building/recruiting vile minions, expanding their influence, and otherwise being a world-shaking power on the rise. Focus would also be a bit on worldbuilding, ie what the ramifications of breeding an entirely new servant race into the world would be. This aspect would be especially apparent should they fall, as the remnants of their power could continue to have very interesting consequences.

I'd play those games so hard. I actually tinkered with the second one, but couldn't get the minions right. I made "You are Overlord" instead.

[Yoink]

Demons are cooool. Also, it could be fun choosing how to respond to mortals attempting to summon you.
As well as choosing how you portray yourself to the mortals...

[Darvi]

You forgot to mention who the final boss in the first RTD will be.

...Darvi? Darvi is the King of Hell?

[Tarran]

Both RTDs sound fine and interesting.

Even though I honestly don't know how I would be able to will myself into doing evil, being an intensely neutral-good person myself. It still sounds fun.

[micelus]

Oh believe me, I usually hate being evil in games...Hell, I couldn't even do the DB quests in Skyrim. But the moment I played Evil Genius, I've been able to cope with doing things I would usually have trouble with.

And it's kind of hard to translate this into a good version. When was the last time you heard of a good guy making an elaborate lair filled with servants/minions?

Good lord that could be disturbing.

[6] You retrieve the magical crystal from inside the rainbow gorilla's eye, but on your way back to the gumdrop path the ground explodes! A great demon made of tongues and genitalia rises from the ground and towers over you, vomiting thousands of gallons of blood in every direction! The face in the sky starts laughing, and a tentacle reaches out of the ground and wraps around your leg...

Well, god could be an example if heaven was considered a lair... right? Or is my view of god horribly corrupted?

[Darvi]

...Darvi? Darvi is the King of Hell?

Hahaha no. I left because the A/C was broken.

Still is, I reckon.

[lawastooshort]

An 8 bit theatre inspired quest rtd could be doable, particular if I thought of an enjoyable yet simple levelling system. But I am already doing one quest rtd.

But thanks Yoink and freeform for making me read it.

[Talarion]

I would totally play the Demon RTD and the Dark Lord RTD...

[Noodlerex]

They both sound fantastic but the dark lord one sounds really cool, make a lasting impression on the world even if you die? hell yes!
