Request: Could anyone set up the RTD FAQ? Specifically what die is for? d6, d10 and d20 are the common ones I've heard, to help those new to RTDs.

I really need to get on this.

I a doing the FAQ. It is me.

Again, cheesy name aside, this is basically "What if we gave the players 1Hp, an infinite waiting list and shoved them all in the cruelest puzzles known to man?" Players would have to collaborate, communicate, and at the end of the day, chuck someone into a pit of spikes to carry on with the game. An example puzzle might be "The ground before you is cut short-Derm looks over the edge and finds a 50m drop to a spike pit! The exit is beyond, but there is no way in heck you could clear that gap under your own merits." The solution? Keep tossing yourselves over the edge until the spikes are padded enough to warrant safe landing, then just fall on top and make a break to safety. It could be a real treat to see how cruel the GM can get, and the lengths at which players are willing to go to to achieve their goals. Also, tossing your "friends" off a cliff is always entertaining.

Mind if I take that? I've always loved traps, never able to do something like this though.

Take it! This thread is like an infinite-and free-buffet! Take what you want!

Yes, let us all become bloated on the all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of ideas that is this thread. Roll to Eat More Than Anyone Should!

This has inspired me with a cross between Kirby, Katamari Damacy, and Hungry Hungry Hippos. Players are Kirbylike blobs hoping to devour everything, especially one another, and so must run around gobbling things up. But in addition to some sort of overall mass or size, players have to pay attention to what their consumables do to them- eating a lot of tanks will make one somewhat tanklike, eating a lot of concrete will make them concretelike, and so on. Players have to balance between stuffing their faces full of anything they can find and absorbing the things they need to become more effective, both in general and against their rivals.

That sounds just crazy enough to work in the hands of someone skilled in the silly.

[Skyrunner]

That sounds fun too o_O

[ExKirby]

...WHAT HAVE I DONE

[Skyrunner]

I don't think I'm skilled enough to be that silly ...()

[monk12]

That DOES sound awesome.

I was working in the School of Badass subjects sheet and then it ocurred me that aside from "classic" subjects such as Stealth, Fencing and Marksmanship, I needed something over the top.

So it ocurred to me the "Impossibly Cool" subject (as I said, this setting is supposed to be lighthearted). Which would work mostly to teach over-the-top "specials" for classes that do not use magic. For example, a pirate can shoot you with a blunderbuss and slash your face with a cutlass. So a pirate with enough "Impossibly Cool" experience plus other different classes, could call upon a shower of cannon fire from 19th century ships out of nowhere. Alternatively, he could summon the Flying Dutchman (guns blazing) or the Kraken into the battlefield.

I mean, it could be a way of allowing other classes aside from summoners and wizards to do horribly flashy stuff.

[IronyOwl]

Alternatively, that could just be the high-end result of every non-flashy discipline.

Or the default results, for that matter. This is more or less Shonen RTD to begin with, right?

Yeah, as I was reading his post I imagined a pirate doing hand signs and shouting "19TH CENTURY CANNON FIRE NO JUTSU".

[Caellath]

Yah, I know, the more I delve into this, it just gets more ridiculous.
