For anyone who want to GM Mad Scientist RTD, or Dwarven Races, I've got some files that may provide inspiration/etc. But for races, I HIGHLY suggest not using hex based movement. I firmly believe that that system is what killed the last two remakes. It was too simultaneously vague and complicated. I'd mainly like to see Dwarven Races, but unfortunately after my last few.... incidents, I'd rather not GM for a long time. I kinda don't trust myself as GM.  :( Anyway, the files are on a different comp, so pm me if interested and I'll get back to you eventually.

I think I may run a Dwarven Races that lies somewhere between Mario Kart and Wacky Races (The RTDs).

Go ahead. If you need info on some of the mechanics, feel free to ask.

Heh, making another game, maybe.


Pretty much, adventure RTD...under the ocean! I don't think I've seen the setting done in an RTD around here.

Hopefully, with more races than just Merpeople, that I can think of.

I guess the problem is, I have a nice setting and ideas but nothing concrete. I doubt this will inspire much interest, but I'm putting it out anyway. Suggestions welcome! Not exactly taking pre-ins (unless you really really want it), just seeing if it's something I should keep working on.

Sounds interesting to me- water worlds can be really cool when done right. Keep at it, sez I!

Go for it, dudee. Get more species than the merfolk, though.

In theory, I'd make available hybrid "any sea creature/man", DF style. :P

I'd probably just let players pick and choose.

Actually, that'd be pretty cool. *resists urge to make Spongeman*

Sounds interesting Dwarmin. I'd love to be an octo-man. (In the game.)

That does sound pretty cool, Dwarmin. Do you know what kind of system you'd use?

@Irony: Probably something a lot easier than what I usually do. I recently found a system online that uses a sort of opposing d100's, with a multi rock/paper/scissors type deal for bonuses/maluses. I'll probably just use that.

Thus Following list. Beats -->

Attack: Physical --> Magic --> Stealth
Defense: Armor --> Evasion --> Ward
Tactics: Melee --> Hybrid --> Ranged

So, a char who used Physical/Evasion/Ranged VS Stealth/Evasion/Melee (pretty much a Ranger vs a Rogue ), would match for their defense and the other two would cancel each other out with a +10% to each. Base chances would be 50% for either side, on a balanced fight. Generally, way easy, so I can concentrate on writing the story instead of crunching numbers.

It also allows a lot of room for skills, buffs and things without collapsing the system. :P
