How's this mecha RTD gonna work, whats the system your using look like?

This is a basic form of the "menu" screen for the four mecha pilot bots. There will also be a mech screen. So each person gets two "menu screens".

Detailing it from top left and clockwise:
-Name of bot.
-Inventory.
-Stats.
-Image of character with equipment.
--The equipment will get its own section detailing what it does.
-The health and energy part is missing, didnt get them on.

Im thinking about using a D20 with the rolls going:

1: Colossal Failure: Even simple tasks gives poor or worse outcomes, larger tasks are catastrophic.
2-9: Generic failure: Ah nuts. Simple loss.
10-15: Generic victory: Ah good, the outcome is favorable.
16-19: Extraordinary victory: My my! If there are any bumps in the road from this its just another pile of loot to get!
20: Overshot: ...Maybe that whent TOO well.

Images will be used to detail your movement through the halls of the complex that you will travel, while text will detail what is going on. Anyone familiar with the forum games I have run before will find this familiar.

EDIT: Also, there are different stats for mech and pilot, its the pilot's stats that are used for most dice rolls, mech's stats are for combat.

Requesting Pre-in.

[Caellath]

Please pre-in. D:<

[Dexexe1234]

Guess we got our four bots!

Caellath, Tiruin, freeformschooler and digital!

hahaha, I am still toying with the HUD, but I might get the thread up soon.

[Digital Hellhound]

Man, I'm good, I didn't even have to ask for a pre-in to get a pre-in. While it looks extremely cool, I'll gladly give my spot if someone else has a greater need to it. If not, count me in.

Are you people going to draw their mechs-with-equipment themselves? That could be interesting.

[Caellath]

I guess the GM does it. Either that or I would over-engineer mine :V

Heres the thread you four! Get to work!

 My experimental play-by-PM PvP RTD is close to the end now with only two players left, so as soon as they kill each other, I will start a new RTD. And since Caellath sort-of-suggested-it-but-I-think-that-would-be-cool-too, I'm considering doing another play-by-PM PvP, but this time set in the Fate/Stay Night universe. You don't need to know a lot about the FSN universe, so basically...

Spoiler: tl;dr version of FSN. (click to show/hide)

It's mainly one of those "modern, but with magic" settings.
 Time from time there's a ritual called the Holy Grail War. Seven mages join it and each summons a servant to fight for the Holy Grail, which has the power of granting any wish.
 Servants are resurrected ancient heroes, each with special powers, and they are much more powerful than humans, even mages. So then, what do the mages do? The mages each get a Command Spell after summoning their servant. It let's them basically do reality bending UBER HAX but only three times. In addition, while servants are easily recognizable, mages are just people and thus can easily walk around and gather information without drawing suspicion.
 So, yeah, you're one of the mages, you summon a servant and try to kill the other servants.

Like my last game, it will try to utilize the advantages of the play-by-PM form to let the players use tactics and deception to eliminate each other. It didn't quite work out that time, but I learned a lot and can now make a much more polished game from the beginning.
 So, yeah, would you play a FSN RTD?
 If not, I guess I'll just make a sequel to my last game.

[Caellath]

RESERVE!

[tomas1297]

RESERVE!

Yeah, I thought so, because you're the one who wanted my game to be more like FSN. xD
 Whatever, now I actually want to host a FSN RTD, so I think I will host it regardless of interest. As I see it, GMs are in great demand and players will play pretty much anything that has "ok" quality. I think I will be able to update faster and better if I host something I want to host anyway.
 Besides, it's a setting that can be easily modified and is very easy to understand, so, yeah, why not?

[Caellath]

You should keep track of the victors of each round.

Ah yes, it's a great setting for an RTD, why didn't it ever occur to me... I even ran a horribly failed Tabletop game for a group of friends.

[Caellath]

Yeah, Fate/Stay Night was one of the settings that sprung to my mind as soon as I got to know RtDs. I was also planning an online text-parser, but RtDs seem more interesting.

Anyway, I dropped the idea in favor of my original setting, and I am glad there are more weeabos aside from me and tomas.

[tomas1297]

I do not consider myself a weaboo. I used to watch DBZ as a kid, Naruto until I realized how much it sucked, read a let's play of FSN which I haven't even finished, recently have gained very minor interest in anime, but otherwise I am not interested in weaboo stuff. Most of my knowledge of anime comes from TvTropes actually.
