I'm reputable now? It's a wonder anyone joins my RTDs at all, considering their update schedule.

I guess I've kind of disappeared entirely around here the last two weeks. I and my RTDs will be back soon, I just need to get some things sorted out before I have the energy to start updating again.

You made The RTRTD, Eternal, Hero Caddie, etcetera...

There's pretty much no way anyone will ever forget you.

It all works =D

Sadface, I don't think anybody would remember me a half year later if I suddenly disappeared.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Only problem is I can't decide which one I like better D:
I wish I had some useful advice here, but being torn between games generally doesn't have a good answer. You could try working on each to see which one shapes up, pretend you've decided to run one and not the others and see how you feel about that, or a bunch of other standard decisionmaking strategies.

In a severe case you could even make them all and then see which ones fail to hold your will to update the quickest...

You're like a much more reliable, prolific Sensei- sure, you leave a trail of broken dreams in your wake, but they were really awesome, hilarious dreams while they lasted.

I would! More for Westlands than dragons probably, but dragons too.

I don't really have a claim to remembrance other than my actions as Derm Hellbinder.

I've ridden that train for a long while, and while I haven't gotten tired of it, it's really the only thing I have.

I suppose I posted the RTD.

I'm looking to Runners of Hyperion as inspiration. o_O


EDIT : I went ahead and did both the Wizards and the Vault one, like IronyOwl said >.>

Hah, I would. Despite me being in only one of your games, you're a memorable character!

Everyone knows you.  :D

By character, which one do you mean? Or by "character" do you mean me as me on the forums?

And I only have one game.

It's time for Stream of Consciousness Game Design with Monk V: The Numerals Are Pointless Because Nobody Cares!

We're back to grand strategy RTD- I've reworked most of this, including the combat (yet again.)
Spoiler: Players/Waitlist (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: The World (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Patrician Stats (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Patrician Action (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Units and Generals (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

So! As you may have noted, I did do away with the Council of Lords since I couldn't think of a reasonable way to manage that. This is still pretty outline-y; in particular, The World, Patrician Action and Unit/Character Specials all need to be written down and incorporated. I decided to go with the simplified combat route, more Risk and less RPS. Unit special abilities are intended to be rather indirect and have less to do with combat itself- you'll see what I mean when I get around to writing that shit down.

Aw, I killed it, and now I feel bad. On the plus side, this is a pretty big thread, so I might have gotten some good XP for that.

I keep meaning to get through that and give feedback, but I can't conjure up the effort. D:

More silly ideas.

Deus ex machina: Creation of Intelligence

The players are terraformers, ie Von Neuman machines designed to terraform planets and then nurture a lifeform untill it is ready to set out to the stars, therefore making it technically incapable of going extinct. Unfortunately something went wrong and a large part of the database was wiped, including the genetic blueprint of the inteligent species. Nothing to worry about though, they got some files here about evolution, and a lot of cloning and other machinery, so they can still fix it.

So this is basically a crossover between a Godhood game and an Evolution like game, with the exception the players are AI's, posing as gods and the like. The game is made up of several phases: the terraforming phase, the evolution phase and finally the intelligence phase. While the first will be rather short and end abruptly, the latter might take quite long and blend rather than switch.
