Freeform, who all are you lofacing in your avatar, anyway? I recognize Darvi, applesauce, Vorthon, PoH, MaximumZero, and Aqizzar (I think that's how it's spelled), but a few others puzzle me. ^^^;

There's also Bauglir and freeformtroll.

And the rotating is a parody of Darkling's formerly rotating avvy.

Tomas:  I enjoyed your PbPMPvP game, so I'll keep an eye out for this one.

Reserve? (I just realized how ridiculous PbPMPvP sounds...)

I was just watching RhoamMythril's new LP of Imperishable Night, and I thought to myself, 'Hey, what if there was a IWBTG RTD of some sort?'.
I know that has nothing to do with Touhou, but it just came to me.

It would work more like IWBTB than IWBTG, where each player would choose a character from a pre-determined selection, and would make their way through several themed words, y'know the normal stuff, but the gimmick being that a single failed dodge roll would result in a death and respawn at the last checkpoint, and the whole thing being a race to the final boss.

Anyone think they would be interested in this very vague concept?

[Dermonster]

A multiplayer instadeath race to be the hero?

Sounds excellent.

[freeformschooler]

That seems a bit random. If death is entirely up to the failure of a single dodge roll, there's no way to prevent it (outside of taking actions that prevent the failed roll from occurring, suppose, but many RTDs don't include this).

[Dermonster]

Now that you mention it, it does seem more like a race to be the luckiest bastard in the list.

Then again my opinion sways like a pendulum and is unreliable.

[Greenstarfanatic]

What I could do is actually make it a race through IWBTB, and provide screenshots of the screen everyone is on. If you think there's a trap, you can try to take an action to avoid it. Some things will just take some skill, such as precision jumps, as well as a bit of Secret-Finding.

As far as secrets go, it would make the game a bit Team-Based.

So the players would be a group of Backstabbing Bastards who kinda work as a team.

As for screens, THIS is one of the Tutorial Level Screens.

I was thinking about a netrunner inspired RTD. Basically, 1 group of players represents the compagny, which must put fulfill it's secret agendas. The other group are the Netrunners, who must try to evade the compagnies blockades and tell their secrets to the public. The goal of the individual players is to gain as much money as possible, so they are allowed to backstab their team if they want too.

The compagny can defend their servers by placing layers of ICE in front of it. Ice cards represents a variety of traps, blockades and other cards(Examples are, bounty, firewall, security force,...) These cards are described by the player, and then placed on the board. They often cost money, but they only need to be paid for when they are activated. A succesfully activated ICE card will have a variety of effects. For example, decreasing the netrunner's anonimity(HP-equivalent), or even prematurely ending their run. Some of the heavier cards will result in bad publicity which allows the netrunners to gain more cash. The compagnies ultimate goal is accomplishing their agenda's, which nets the player a reputation point.

Meanwhile, the netrunners need to prepare their runs carefully. They can accumulate cards, which they can use to negate the compagnies ICE. A run always focusses on a certain server.  The goal of the netrunner is to penetrate the security completely and capture an agenda. This nets them the reputation point.

I was thinking about an RTD inspired by this game (or, at least, reading a review of this game):

It's basically Grand Theft Auto with lions.

GOSH.

That Sounds...Very interesting. I would definitely play that! I've always liked playing a hacker in games, so that just sounds quite cool to me.

[Furtuka]

Would people be interested in an RTD setting idea I had that's basically Medieval Fantasy meets Humongous Mecha?

[Darvi]

YES.

[IronyOwl]

"Humungous" might be a strong term, but wasn't that the idea behind Escaflowne?

[Darvi]

Wasn't that the anime with the... with the...

I literally have no idea where I have heard that name from.
