I know, I said that only the ones who will play anything at any time would be able to play at all without any 'problems' on my first post 'against' the idea.

I think some people would play anything depending on who the GM is.

True enough. I'd play anything Draignean chooses to run, for example.

That's completely besides the point. I never said anyone wouldn't play anything. Will they play any setting without any more discomfort than if they were playing their favorites?

I'm sorry but I'm derailing this discussion

'Tis fine, I have no objections.

a tiny village in Cumbria, northern England, inhabitated solely by postmen and Edwardian gentlemen.

How do you know where I live

Are you at number 21? The one with the red door? A slight scratch?

That's completely besides the point.

I agree. Apologies.

[ExKirby]

@Lawas: Nope. I'm the large white one with the wooden gate that urgently needs cleaning.

Excuse me, something just came up, be back in a minute.

And then it turns out Cumbria, England is the nexus of all Bay12 activity.

Also, my belated support to Irony's RTD idea, as well as everything monk said about it.

Couple ideas bouncing around my tortured, Les Mis-riddled brain.

• Gat (or somebody else's) idea of players being wizards of obscure schools. Using a random wordgenerator maybe. Some examples include 'enjoining', 'hexameter', 'dopamine', and 'zestlessness'... Thatactually seems a bit too obscure.
• ('nuther) post-apocalyptic, something to do with a fantasy world and living in a separated-from-the-world-but-safe-place. The valuable stuff is all outside in the dangerous zone.
• Being apprentices servants to a eclectic wizard, doing his bidding and maybe combining with no.1.

I have an urge to make a new game, but no idea of what to do

[monk12]

Oooh, Zestlessness, the powerful and venerable art of draining your opponents of the will to fight! Or any will at all, for that matter. Very subtle, very effective- nothing cripples a foe more than a restless sense of apathy and listlessness.

I also read "Dopamine" as "Dopamime," which quite frankly I find much more interesting as a magical art.

How can you support everything I said when a great deal of what I said was mutually exclusive alternatives on the core concept! Your critical analysis is somewhat lacking in this case.

Yeah, I personally will instantly try to join something that is run by a reputable GM such as Gatleos or Draignean. I could honestly care less for the setting, since I know those kind of people will do a generally good job with it.

Do something you enjoy running, there will always be players... always.

Yeah. Creepy fanboy is right.

[lawastooshort]

I had a few thoughts.

Someone, probably Gatleos, mentioned a Baywatch RtD recently. This could be done as a short competitive game, where the "lifeguards" compete to win "lifeguard" points in the course of their everyday duties, with various bonuses. For example, someone who rescues a drowning pensioner from a deadly shark but also does so whilst running in slow motion and has enough points in the "sexy swimming costume euphemism skill would get, say, three points. Someone who did it without running in slow motion would get one or two points.

Also and more seriously, what about Roll to Dialogue - an RtD conducted entirely through dialogue?

[Tiruin]

Yep.
