I think you'll find you'll have even less motivation for shitty settings. You should totally do Setting Supremacy, though, however that would work.

Maybe players could be like, in-training Dimension Bending students?
To attain their Dimension Bending Degree they must face off against their classmates to warp the fabric of the school campus into something only their twisted, sick minds could concoct, and then survive and escape their own creation whilst simultaneously showing callous disregard for the lives and safety of their fellow students?
(Especially the first years. Immolating a few (dozen) of those little brats is seen as an acceptable show of school spirit)

Thoughts?! Comments? Cantankerisms?!!

Throw your spare settings at me, people! Throw them at me like so much lint-covered spare change! Raaah!

I would play that. Further cantakerisms may come later.

As excellent as that sounds, I just remembered an idea I had earlier... :))

I've wanted to do a sort of Vs game where there's one map and two teams up at any given time:

There are six military factions each trying to gain control of the something.

The map contains a main building and an expansive outside area, your job is to hold the building for as long as possible.

Each person gets a squad of 4 units, each with their own loadout. Loadouts are:
Armor:
Heavy, which grants 15 HP and 2 tile move
Medium, which is 12 HP and 3 tile move
Light, which gives 9 HP and 4 tile move

Then, you choose a weapon:
Assault Rifle:
Varies depending on model:
Range: 3-4 tiles
Fire: 1, 3-4 rounds
Damage: 4, 1-2 HP
Hit: 90%

---

SMG
Varies depending on model:
Range: 2-3 tiles
Fire: 3-6 rounds
Damage: 1 HP
Hit: 85%

---

LMG
Range: 3-5 tiles
Fire: 3-6 rounds
Damage: 1-2 HP
Hit: 70%

---

Launcher
Range: 2-5 tiles
Fire: 1 round
Damage: 4-8 HP
Hit: 95%
Note: Only has one shot.

---

Shotgun
Range: 1-2 tiles
Fire: 1-2 rounds
Damage: 3-5 HP
Hit: 90%

---

Every soldier also gets a choice of secondary weapon:

Pistol
Range: 2-3 tiles
Fire: 1-3 rounds
Damage: 1-2 HP
Hit: 85%

---

PDW
Range: 3-4 tiles
Fire: 2-5 rounds
Damage: 1-2 HP
Hit: 75%

-------------

The defending team's general location is always known (as they will start around and in the building) but attackers may spawn anywhere.

So, as an example, my team would look like this:
Mary (Medium/AR/Pistol)
>Gets the "RM-AWPR 03" AR(3 tile range/3 rounds/2HP/90%)
>Gets the "Storm Surge" Revolver(3 tiles/1 round/2HP/85%)
Tavor (Heavy/LMG/PDW)
>Gets the "Vanguard" LMG(4 tiles/5 rounds/1HP/70%)
>Gets the "NSD-E04" PDW(3 tiles/2 rounds/2HP/75%)
Greg (Light/SMG/Pistol)
>Gets the "P900" SMG (2 tiles/6 rounds/1HP/85%)
>Gets the "Leon" Pistol(2 tiles/3 rounds/1HP/85%)
Finn (Light/Launcher/PDW)
>Gets the "Roaring Thunder" Launcher (3 tiles/1 round/6HP/95%)
>Gets the "Bohr-96" PDW (3 tiles/3 rounds/1 HP/75%)

Those results are indeed randomized, as for what guns are given out.
Reloading is considered automatic, only launchers have an ammo limit
Weapon switching is also considered automatic.

A unit's visible range is either it's highest gun range or it's movement range, whichever is higher.
Two enemy units adjacent to each other may go into a melee sequence, where best 2/3 rolls determines who comes out of that, and total roll amount determines damage. For instance:
12,16,4 VS 3,9,18 (32 VS 30)
"Soldier A charges at Soldier B, knocking B over and taking the upper hand! Soldier B sweeps at Soldier A but fails to knock him over, managing to dodge a bullet from Soldier A's pistol! Soldier A follows up with another shot to Soldier B's leg! -3HP

Melee combat will be very lethal. A lead of 2-3 will do great damage, a lead of 4-5 will be lethal in many situations, and a lead of 6 or more will be enough to get the kill.

That looks more of a game for "Forum games and Roleplaying", not for a rtd. But other than that looks good!

Yeah, it's got a lot less rolling involved than a regular RtD. I was going to include a few roll features (such as stealth, taking cover, weather) but decided it would be much too complicated.

So in the absence of actions to update Magnificent Timelord with I worked a bit on Roll to Yoga's Yogic Warfare System, which I present here out of a combination of mild rtd-itch and boredom. As you can see it is my most realistic and complex rtd yet.

Looks good. Yoga seems cool. And deadly. The perfect combination.

Because ideas man they stalk me in the night

The yoga has me really intrigued. I totally want in, but, err, here:

Spoiler: Kyura Yoga (click to show/hide)

I didn't specify regions- feel free to edit this however. The general idea is "quick, reflexive power" style yoga.

That's quite interesting, I like it (and thanks!) - I was going to post next (but didn't get time) the Yoga of the Assassin, which is similar in end-product, very slightly (incidentally, it appears to me that this isn't actually a real Yoga, which is slightly disappointing ;) ).

I like the variety of moves (although I presume they aren't based on real Yoga moves?), any editing I'd do would be to do with first making sure they don't duplicate any of the other Yoga school moves, and second making sure they aren't too powerful: part of the concept of the game is that low-level Yoga is quite weak (ideally to the point of uselessness, but I haven't really managed to implement that particularly well). Very interestingly though, my first draft of the Yoga of the Assassin had +2 initiative as the starting feat (and was more focused on speed than power).

If you don't mind I might well keep the above as the starting concept for a mysterious new FOURTH School of Yoga.

As regards your wanting in, please just be aware that this is a work in progress and I can't even find the time yet to update my current two rtds as often as I'd like. I am working on a GENUINE EPIC STORY involving Yoga, self-discovery, and betrayal though.

There was like one that was based on an actual move- and if you want useless, plank pose or happy baby/dead bug pose.
