Okay, so I've been working away at a bit of backstory for my new RTD. I'm pretty much happy with it, (I'm keeping things simple like I said I would) but I'm still undecided on what to do with the team name/leader situation.
I'm thinking I might just make it that all the player characters are responding to an employment ad, and once the game starts they draw straws (Roll a die) to determine the team leader.
That still leaves the question of a name, though. Work out a name now, before starting, or let people decide ICly once the game begins? Or just leave it up to the team leader.   

At least all my problems are to do with fluff. I'm keeping the actual game very simple.

I think I'm going to take the evil overlord idea and run with it.
To be one of my two final RTDs that I'll tak all the way to Korea if I can.
That also means that updates will be in the middle of the night.

I'll be waiting. Always lurking. Always in the shadows.

Hooray, timezone buddies!

On a separate note, how does a GM...'simplify' the turns without making it all too complicated? Meaning detailed 'vision' of what the player sees, but simple in the way that it is easier to manage (if given stats and inventory, and modifiers; the like.) An example is like a generic RPG-game.

[Skyrunner]

Eh?

(did not understand question)

[Darvi]

'sup. Anything interesting going on in this thread?

[IronyOwl]

Skyrunner's thinking about something involving evil overlords.

Otherwise... not much. PM's also working on something, sort of a modern magicless multiworld I guess?

Indeedy, has been a quiet month or two round this thread. I keep meaning to go rehash one of my prior ideas, but then I get sidetracked. Ah well.

Gave up halfway through writing OP of evil overlords.
Will try and finish tomorrow

I'm worried it would be too ... cheesy? Or longwinded. Maybe tangled diction.

[Yoink]

I've written the larger part of my long-planned Post-apoc action RTD, but at the moment I'm not really in the mood to finish it.
Not that there's much to finish, just need to type up the last bit. It's pretty simple, I just have stuff to do today.

Does it involve zombies? Because if not, I need to run a zombie RTD.

[Yoink]

Not traditional zombies as such- at least, I hadn't had any plans to include them- but I had intended on including some zombie-mechanical-cyborg things at some point... No spoilers here, though.

I'm guessing it'll be fine, especially because both cheesiness and long-windedness fit evil overlords well, but I'd be willing to help if you need advice/proofreading or something.

Make sure you think it through. We've had several zombie games in the past, but they tend to die off quickly, and I suspect it's because the general premise is "Zombies," followed by "...now what?"

Pigeon dating?

[Yoink]

Ooh, an RTD where players manage rival 'Mail-Order zombie brides' businesses!
