Yoink has first dibs on these character class ideas, it is inspired by his dream-based rtd idea after all. Something to do with replacing King Kong's teeth I believe.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[15:51] <lawastooshort> Derp Vader has +1 to using Teh Force, but double the chance of a [1]
[15:52] <lawastooshort> The Norhen has +1 to all strength rolls
[15:52] <lawastooshort> Marcus Aurelius has +1 to Depravity
[15:52] <lawastooshort> David Bowie has +1 to Bowie-related rolls, but -1 to physical strength
[15:53] <lawastooshort> ROBOSTALIN has +1 to physical strength but -1 to democracy
[15:53] <lawastooshort> The Norhen gets +1 to chance of being kentuckyfried
[15:54] <lawastooshort> For every Courtesan in line of sight, Marcus Aurelius gets+1 to chance of getting distracted in a "romantic" way
[15:54] <lawastooshort> Hmm, or perhaps they should get powers instead
[15:55] <Yoink> ...I really have no idea. CONTINUE!
[15:56] <Yoink> I need to somehow work this in with my 'superpowered mercenaries' RTD idea...
[15:56] <lawastooshort> ALTERNATIVELY: Although when DERP VADER rolls a [2] it also fails as badly as a [1], he can manipulate the FORCE - once per turn
[15:57] <lawastooshort> The NORHEN has +1 to ALL strength rolls, but suffers a -2 penalty when confronted by ANY form of cook or food industry operative
[15:58] <lawastooshort> MARCUS AURELIUS  suffers a -1 DISTRACTION PENALTY for every courtesan in line of sight, but can call upon the force of the ROMAN ORGY and VOMIT ENDLESS GRAPES once per two turns
[15:58] <lawastooshort> (conical spray weapon, corrosive, also inflicts spiritual DISGUST based damage)
[15:58] <Yoink> Niiice
[15:59] <lawastooshort> BOWIE has a +1 bonus to ALL interaction rolls, but a -1 to strength rolls. He can also shapechange once every three turns.
[15:59] <Yoink> An amusing thing would be for him to be trapped in a red light district with the Norhen and Derp Vader after a wild night out
[15:59] <Yoink> With a small child in tow and absolutely no recollection of the night before
[16:00] <Yoink> Maybe some casinos instead
[16:00] <lawastooshort> ROBOSTALIN suffers a -1 penalty per American in line of sight, but has ROBOARMOUR (+1 to defence) and can shoot ROBOROCKETS once per two turns
[16:02] <lawastooshort> Ooh, SMALL CHILD could be another class
[16:02] <lawastooshort> -2 to physical rolls and height
[16:02] <lawastooshort> But once per turn can either CRY, POOP, or LIQUID SICK
[16:03] <Yoink> +1 to acting innocent?
[16:03] <lawastooshort> Prolonged crying causes DIMINSHED PATIENCE in everyone within earshot
[16:03] <lawastooshort> increasing the chance of entering a martial trance

edit: the NORHEN is Norris crossbred with a chicken.

...Where was I during this discussion?

[Yoink]

Uhm, elsewhere, I'm guessing!
...Wow, strange things happen when discussing RtD ideas past 2AM in the morning.

[Gatleos]

So. We've all got Mary Sue characters we need to get out, right? And they don't have a place in most stories. That's why I suggest:

Roll to be a Mary Sue!

Think. About it. The possibilities are endless.

[Dermonster]

Oh god no.

[IronyOwl]

No. They'd either balance out and it'd be Over The Top RTD, or they'd just pit unstoppable forces versus immovable objects, in which case it'd be gluuugghhhh no matter how it worked out.

[monk12]

A real Mary Sue couldn't roll a 1, right?

[Dermonster]

My entire strategy would be reserving a spot, waiting till everyone else posted their crap, and then tailor make mine to nullify all of their crap and rewrite reality according to my will alone.

Also unless we're all female, the correct term is 'Gary Stu'.

[freeformschooler]

A real Mary Sue couldn't roll a 1, right?

A real Mary Sue would roll a one once then spend the following fifty eight pages emoting over it.

Then she would marry Harry Potter.

[Gatleos]

A RtD where everyone constantly succeeds would be boring obviously, so I suppose it would be more like everyone was aspiring to Mary Sue-ism. Or Stu-ism.

Over The Top RTD

A RtD based on a Sylvester Stallone movie about arm wrestling could work too.

A real Mary Sue couldn't roll a 1, right?

A real Mary Sue would roll a one once then spend the following fifty eight pages emoting over it.

Then she would marry Harry Potter.

Also that. A Mary Sue doesn't always have to win. Wangst is a big component.

[Dermonster]

For a character sheet, I'd just silently point at Thirty H's and say absolutely nothing.

[Darvi]

This would by my character sheet.

A friend just linked me to this trailer, and now I want there to be an RTD of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

I'm not sure whether the players would be vampires fighting Abe, Hunters helping Abe, or other pre-1900's presidents alongside Abe, but I am sure it would be awesome. This would also be awesome in a crossover with Wild Wild West.

This... I... this is real? How can it be real?

I couldn't believe it at first, but I went to the TIME article and it looks real.

I still sort of can't believe it.
