Seeing all of these minimalist rtd's makes me want to create a system so complex and absolutely silly that part of the challenge is figuring out how to play the game.

I would enlist 10ebbor10 if I where you.

Not me? I haven't done my job

It's just, ebbor is the freaking master of complex yet (sort of) working systems.

A Bastard RTD, eh?

I'm also good at this! Just most of the worst stuff never makes it off the drawing board.

I believe a few weeks ago he said he had created a forum game that half of the first turn had take around six months already.

I want in on this. Seems hilarious.

Pretty much a bastard game I suppose, making the mechanics specifically to annoy and work against the players. For example to roll to attack you must roll an opposing roll of 2d6/3.14×a, bad example but it's currently all I can think of.

No no, you just lay down layers and layers of rules that have situational effects and are intertwined with several other rules, as well as a byzantine method for determining supremacy when two rules clash (as they should almost always do.) Then you slather on extra penalties for failing to understand the rules, and BAM

ExKirby...What if you took the idea, but made it golf, instead of wrestling?

I'd totally dig that. I like your way of thinking, however.

I'd say LUCHA, but either way, I'd be in.

Hm... So Magic the Gathering: The RTD?

[GraveHaunter92]

Incidentally, I'm already playing a Luchadore in GreenstarFanatic's Mall Fight RTD.  I'd be happy to see how he'd do in an actual wrestling RTD.

A Robin Reliant race.

Obstacles being corners, small hills and roundabouts..

I am able to make complicated games. Just can't run them.

Though I seem to have a primal urge to streamline and simplify, so it'd be a battle against my own instinct to throw that away xD

Or you can use complicated formulas and such. A good way to get a complicated rule system is to start with a simple system, then add more and more rules to balance it.

Also, variables, lots and lots of different variables.

I was thinking about coming up with a game based on Trouble in Terrorist Town.

TTT is a hilarious mystery game, something like a mash-up of Clue, Mafia, and people shooting each other. The basic premise is this:

Innocent Terrorists are the largest group. Their goal is not to die, and to kill Traitors. However, Traitors appear as Innocents, so their discovery must be based on logic, interrogation, or as portrayed in the video above, stand-off's and shoot-outs.

Detective Terrorists are the smallest group. They are sort of like a buffed version of Innocents, with tools like medical kits for healing, a mind ray to see the last person killed of any terrorist, and visualizers that project how a murder was carried out. Traitors can not disguise themselves as Dectectives.

Traitors are the middle-sized group. Their goal is to kill all the Innocent, and/or fool them into killing each other. Traitors know who the other Traitors are.

Additionally, each group can acsess a store that provides weapons and equipments that are purchased by credits, a currency given out to everyone on that team when a sucsessful kill is carried out.

For more information, I suggest watching the video above, because Gassy Mexican's TTT video series is what inspired me to make this into a RTD.

If anyone would be willing to help me figure out a system, I'd be very happy to host the RTD version of TTT.

RTD's that have mafia elements in them don't usually go well from what I've seen, it's a bit annoying to do anything other than a complete "Free for All" or a "Team-based" RTD.
