Cue three people representing the pony threads.

I haven't done the description of the whatever layers of hell yet.
/Just kidding (But really, banned threads are supposed to end up there)

Besides there aren't so much pony threads around right.

[Darvi]

I said three and I meant it.

Well, not my problem. It's not like I'm going to run it or anything.

[Skyrunner]

I didn't know that someone already did the idea of two IC threads o_o

Anyhow, I suppose the flagships can be custom made by the players using the spreadsheet I made
(cue accusations of over complexity)
Wait, it's not too complex to make! xD The computer does 90% of the work for you! D:

When I get home, I shall finish up the form and post the OP.
Strategy-centered game it is, I suppose o_o

Now, where to put it. What's the major difference, what's the line between RTDs and regular forum games? I never really understood .

RtD are supposed to be simple and d6+character based. That's more or less all there's about it.

Also, RtD GMs like to have your character roll a check to know if he/she is able to tie their own shoes without getting a huge explosion to happen.

Don't give them/us any ideas.

On an unrelated topic, if I could draw consistently I'd totally make a suggestion game with the characters being superheroes based on actual RTD players who would fight against the evil GMs who plot any conceivable kind of evil, just because they can.

The main characters:
-Derm, the RTDestroyer. The name says it already really.
-Taric, aka Captain "Yea I defeated an army by psychically wanking at them". I was going to call him Captain "Stop bringing that up all the time" but DigitalHellhound pointed out that the concept of shame is unknown to him.
-A third player of a similar caliber. Don't know who that would be really.

Tie my shoes.

6: A Power-Rangers style explosion just happened. Power Rangers because it was very far away from you. Somehow, sparks are coming out of your shoes accompanied by some weird sound effect. Well, at least they are tied, even if slightly burnt.
5: You tie your shoes so well those are the shoes that shall pierce the heavens with lame references from good anime!
4: You tie your shoes.
3: Your shoes are kind of tied. Does not look too good.
2: You fail at tying your shoes. HURR DURRR!
1: An explosion! Coming from your shoes. They just exploded in your face and you died, taking an area of 50 square meters with you.

Now let us apply that to Sky Tower:

6: You heal yourself so well that your HP wraps around into the negatives. You die.
5: An extraordinary excellent healing. You practically (not to mention actually) glow with health.
4: A normal lucid healing.
3: You heal as well as a normal human does. Over a week. In six seconds.
2: You heal as well as a normal human does, meaning you're still bleeding and that hole in your guts is still bleeding and ohmygoshwhyareyouturningpale
1: You regain 14i HP and blast off into the imaginary plane, never to be seen again.

... Sounds fun! :3

Does that mean you like Sprite?


Skyrunner, Sky Towe- Oh wait. Are our characters walking around your house?
I was actually about to say Sky Tower seems deadly as it is right now, but more risk is kind of welcome. Or not.

[Darvi]

Your approval fills me with shame glee.

Anyways, I have this idea for an RTD in a literally mundane, contemporary setting. No rockets and lasers, no warlocks and elder terrors.
"But that sounds boring!" I hear you shout. Or maybe it's just the voices in my head.
But the catch is, the players' actions can change that. If they roll incredibly high (or low), they will affect the setting. That can range from "the political outlook of your neighbourhood has become more liberal" all the way to accidentally summoning an eldritch horror because the book you were reading aloud had a critical typo. Maybe one of the characters has had so much exercise during the game that their strength reaches olympic levels. Or the failure at the nuclear power plant has turned the surrounding area into a wasteland, nearly devoid of life. Or the dice rolls are all mediocre, and business as usual. But that would be boring.

That would not happen. The ways of the RNG are mysterious, but they almost always end up with the players being screwed one way or another.

[10ebbor10]

Not an idea for a game, but for a setting.

Spoiler: Warning, moderate amount of text (click to show/hide)

Everybody knows everybody dies. It's a well known and universal fact. What however not everybody knows is that things, ideas and stories, which in some way, have a live of their own, can die too. This is a story about what happens with them after their death, as we follow them down into the depths and are the first to set foot in and explore the Bay-Twelvian underworld. A strange domain, on which time has no grasp and place is only there for a matter of convenience. A place were everything that was, that will be and could have been ends up. But first, we had to find the entrance.

Our search lead us to one of the most deserted and abandonned places in the forum, The forum Guidelines section. After a several day journey through the godforsaken area, in which we didn't see any other living being, we finally found it. A massive wood and iron door, majestatically decorated with Gold and wood cuts, looking so old that it seemed to have become one with the stone around it. Above the door the following words were engraved:

Abandon all sanity, ye who enter here.-Cat in fetal position-

It seemed to me that this was odly appropriate, but yet we decide to continue our expedition. We pushed open the door, and continued into the depths. After a few days the floor started too level out, and the tunnel opened up into a more expansive cavern.  From where we were we could see the shore of some sort of large cave river and miracously, and old men in a boat who was ferrying things across. We catiously advanced towards him, but we only got halfway before a gigantic monster with 3 heads ran towards us. We managed to hide in the tunnel in time, with the Cereberus charging behind us.

After we managed to pass the beast, who knew this beast would like fish, and managed to barter our passage over the river with a whole lot of rocks lying around we were finally able to explore the underworld. The underworld is divided into multiple places for different types of threads and posters. There's the hall of heroes, where legendary threads feast and fight forever, their memories kept alive by the sigs commemerating them. Then there's the Elysium, a place were good threads go. The Elysium is a strange place, because all the creativity and talent and lost potential often causes the creation of small miniuniverses, which are then ruled by the threads as if it was a world and they were the gods. And in a sence it really is.

A bit further along the riverbanks unremarkable threads are drinking from the water. Everytime they do so they slowly fade away a bit more, untill there isn't even a memory left of them. The whole of the underworld is lighted by an orb of fire in the cieling, were the spam bots burn for eternity. Hell however, is a strange place. Because it is timeless and exists in any dimension, everything that could be and will be is there already, which can result in some embarrasing situations. It's best not too look for your own spirit.

The original idea was to have a Godhoodgame were every player represented the idea of a certain dead forum thread. It somehow got intermingled with Roll to underworld however.

The following post has nothing to do with the above quote.

Roll to exist. An rtd based solely one the following words:Cogito ergo sum.

[Darvi]

Making the game boring is also a way of screwing things up, mind you. I wouldn't let it past the RNG to be that kind of a dick.

Of course, failures and successes would be context sensitive (so a critical failure on tying your shoes would result on the lace being torn, while the exact same roll on disabling a bomb...).
