Derm, I think it's about time you sigged yourself.

My apologies if "Go sig yourself!" becomes a profane phrase at some point in the future.

Has there been a Zelda RTD yet? You could try that. Everyone loves Zelda.
That's... a good idea. I'd join it. Come to think of it, why hasn't anyone made a proper Zelda Tabletop RPG?

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Don't worry Powder, you can still sig me too.

Actually, there is a pretty hefty Zelda D20 floating around the Internet somewhere. Either way, Zelda RTD was my first RTD idea, but then I was like "Or maybe we could be Mario knock-offs and have bob-omb swords". It went from there.

I would join a Zelda RTD.

Also I would do that but my sig is literally at the 500 char limit. So... yeah. Maybe if I clear out the dates...


Well... that failed horrifically.

Give me a copy of your sig and I can shorten it as much as possible if you need help.

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.

Oh, you want the links intact?

Well, I wouldn't recommend that. The time dates and links to the original post usually take up a lot of space.

Eh, well here is what's left of it, anyway.

That second one always reminds me of one of my greater moments in RTD history.

If you need help figuring what to write about for an RTD - and I mean ever - you could do what I did as a failsafe for both my RTDs: Start with something you're extremely familiar with and enjoy very much. If you want, you can build on it from there infinitely, like a webcomic that lasts forever.
I was going to say this really only works if your starting point isn't very serious, then tried to come up with an example about how awkward starting with one thing and suddenly throwing something else into it would be. I failed miserably, so apparently it's a solid idea.

Coincidentally or not, this is somewhat similar to what I was planning, though. Start with Dungeon Keeper, a game about vile sorcerer-lords of darkness controlling haphazard dungeons full of unreliable, varied minions in opposition to the forces of good and other forces of darkness, then just sort of go (anywhere) from there.

Of course, now I'm thinking about the idea I pitched to Dwarmin instead. :-\

Some things are worth waiting for. :P

Also, would a d0 be a featureless ball or a die made of dry ice or similar?

A d0 would be a black hole.

Here you go, Derm. Shortest I think it can ever get.

Thanks! I suppose you just took out the erroneous post locations then?

Welp, now I have a bunch of extra space and nothing to use it on. Wheeeee~~~

1: Took out the crap from the broken locations.

2: Turned "Quote Author=X" to "Quote=X" in all quotes (your link-less one also had this problem).

Example:
Quote from: Me
This is what a quote looks like with the Author in it.
Quote from: Me
This is what a quote looks like without the Author in it.

And 3: Removed any unneeded spaces without breaking the quotes.
