I am interested in this Roll To Minstrel idea. I think I also agree with verse being reserved of the character speaking or for DRAMATIC ACTIONS.

Hmm. On reflection, I think I have found a way round this. Verse would be necessary for the activation of special moves (well, not quite special moves, but I'm not explaining yet, it involves Minstrel Points), but not necessary (although obviously welcome) at any other point (players using song may also work occasionally the way that it works for Paul McCartney sometimes in The Magnificent Timelord - if I am impressed enough it gives a rather arbitrary bonus. Not decided on this though.).

Also I might include instruments as the only weaponry that the Minstrels can use competently - granting a +1 to hit bonus but breaking on a 1.

Would it count as a bard if I made a (wannabe) poet who speaks (or attempts to speak) in haiku?

Minstrel. Probably, yes - although see the above point about instruments. I guess an alternative would be a pen, but I'm not convinced yet. My mental archetype is a Holy Grail style minstrel: lutes, silly hats, vaguely annoying, etc.

My character would definitely fit the vaguely annoying part. I am thinking about having him be a sort of medieval version of a hipster, who likes haikus because they are foreign and wears a straw hat because that is totally what orientals wear. The sort of guy who says that people with complaints like 'that isn't actually music' don't understand his vision because their tastes are too mainstream.

...Is it just me or was that dump shittier than usual

[Caellath]

Roll To Revive Forumites seems nice. Can I play as Darvi?

Also, are you constantly using Einsteinium instead of Einsteinian because of copyright issues or are you afraid you may wake up one day with piecewise staring at you on top of your bed?

[Dermonster]

I dunno, there was one or two in there that I liked. {/conceited}


RTD Legends RTD in particular.

[Skyrunner]

that's the second or third time I've seen RTBaShop Owner.

Also, apple's lack of capitalization is bleeding into me . . .

[IronyOwl]

Board Game RTD

More like DOKAPON RTD! March across the board, leveling up, conquering cities, being dragged into the bushes and raped healed by wandering doctors, and utterly screwing over your dear companions at every opportunity! Yaaaaaaaaay!

Roll To Ninja

What kind of ninja?

RTD Legends RTD

How would this one work?

Einsteinium Roulette 2

Had a fairly well-fleshed out idea that was more or less this. Sadly, I don't think it'd hold my interest long enough.

[Dermonster]

RTD Legends RTD

How would this one work?

Multiworld Madness: Bay 12 RTD edition.

Presumably it would at some point collapse in on itself, like a dice based ouroborous.

[IronyOwl]

That does sound fascinating, then.

I'm not sure if it's more fascinating than the Multiworld concept in general, though.

[Dermonster]

's too bad Sean had that whatever happened.

It was getting good too.

@IronyOwl: You manage to surprise me from time to time. And not always in a good way.

What'd I do this time? D:

[lawastooshort]

Minstrels.

Should they always have instruments? Should instruments be obligatory?

Fairly important question. Feedback appreciated.

[Tiruin]

Isn't the voice the most famous instrument of all, and the other instruments but catalysts to the conveyance of music? 

I guess they should, but maybe roll for such if it must be required to see if they get it or not.

Yes, that's quite true. I might make instruments entirely flavour items. I'll have a think.
