You had a pretty good concept for a RtD, Torren.

But I don't care if we all took turns kicking you in the nuts1 a few pages back, this conversation has gone on for way too long. We're here to discuss RtD concepts, not have meaningless, snail-paced semantics arguments.





1Jackass: The RtD. Think about it. Or don't. Eugh.

* Monk accepts Internet brofist
* Monk wonders why he's still communicating like this
* Monk decides he just likes talking in the third person

There are always some fairly creative ways you can make your text stand out. In other news, if Gatleos is starting another game, I want in. Also, finish Deathmatch. d=

You had a lot of time on your hands, I take it?  :P

One tiny question before I (try) to make my first RTD. How are battle rolls (simple) calculated? Is it basically an attack and defense roll only (does a six still mean an overshoot, or the power of the roll?) Or are the additions of accuracy and such an option of the GM? (Referring to the many other RTDs I see)

For me: at the GM's discretion, especially regarding 1s and 6s. However I (have followed Gatleos' example mostly and so now) use a basic ATT vs DEF, where the difference gives the severity of the wound, and then if not specified by the player I roll for wound location. If a player does a special move before the combat I roll for that, and that may give a bonus to the ATT vs DEF roll.

Simple sounds nice, I might be interested ;)

Do I smell a RTD? How about the concept/setting?

Meh. Tiruin offline.

I don't know whether I should applaud you for making such a nice rainbow, applaud you for having the patience to make a rainbow, scold you for making a disruptive rainbow, or scold you for wasting so much time of your life on such a utterly pointless thing. :P

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.

If you honestly think I did that without a website that did it for me, then I have a nice statue of a lady standing in New York Harbor to sell you.

Ah, you used a website.

...Wait, does that mean people use it?

Yikes, I don't like that thought.
