You should probably try to figure out why you can't get the numbers you need, rather than offer some sort of forced labor swap between GMs. :I

One of your RTDs has 8 players. That's already a significant amount.

The other RTD has only been around for one day. One. Panicking over one day is absolutely silly. Though it has fallen to the second page, so you may want to bump it so people can see it if nobody else bumps it.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Thanks for the advice. I really am fretting over nothing. Instead of having 12 and then whittling down to four, I'll just use the nine I have now and whittle it down to three.

I've been rereading old RTDs I really liked recently, and I thought that smjames' Demigod RTD was extremely fun and had a very interesting setting, and not just because I spent the whole game psychically wiping the floor with everyone. It's basically a world where in a point in the future, the world was flooded by every mythical creature and god imaginable and many forgotten folks too. Add a few nukes and destruction in and the world reverted to a variety of less advanced technological states, preindustrial for the most part. Society as we know it was pretty much wrecked, modern countries etc. going to hell with living gods mucking about.

The players were descendants of these gods. I played the daughter of a minor Greek spirit of Deceit, the others had their own cool ones. Anyway, this setting definitely needs reviving, and smjames hasn't been on the forums since 2010... we could of course remake the setting as we saw fit as long as the core idea remained the same (and he was credited).

Also, I got the combat system I use to this day in various modified forms from that. Heh. I'd nearly forgotten.

I've decided that all GMs hate me because it's been around a month since I didn't fail everything.
Also, I swear, Derm is Armok personified in poster form or something. No, Armok is not Armok, that's not insane enough.

It's not the fault of the GMs if you roll a 1 again and again and again.

YUS IT IS.
Also the dice are trying to kill me help

[Tarran]

YUS IT IS.

No it isn't, the rolls of dice are completely out of their control.

Also the dice are trying to kill me help

The dice are trying to kill everyone. It's not really new.

Hey, the dice only have to come up snake eyes once for you to die, but if you want to live you have to win again and again and again and ...

Yeah, since depending on the RtD, critical failures usually yield terrible results and even perfect success and overshoots are obsfuscated by the sheer deadliness of their failure counterparts.

[Dermonster]

I kinda like staggering wizards approach in crit fails. a [1] on a fire spell would set the warehouse on fire rather than the wizard, as the example given.

So uh, I think I've basically got the zm rules ready, but need some testers for the basic first map. Should I revive the RTD testing thread or what? Don't worry about me already running an rtd, as this one will be relatively simple, and somewhat short as it'll just be a test.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Watcha' Testing? I'll be part of the test if you want.

[Person]

As I said about a page ago, it's basically a Zombie Master rtd. The game is basically a Rts/Fps combo, where the "Zombie Master" spawns and controls zombies and other things to kill the survivors, or do other map goals.

The survivors have their own goal to do as well generally, and not dying tends to help.

The test map will basically be a simple survive for x turns map, just to see how mechanics work together in real play. Balance is the main thing I'll be looking for, likely. Including you, I'd ideally like 6 or so players.
