I just got tired of being "that guy who updates slower than Sean Mirssen with a broken hand" and dropped everything. The reason things went so slowly was because I always had too much on my plate. I wasn't really having fun updating anymore because I continued to make the bad choice of trying to run multiple rtds. Even back when I was running one I was really running two. I'd just rather drop them than disappoint players after saying I was definitely coming back.

That said, I may start a new rtd now that I don't have other things to worry about.
Perhaps the mages are in an entirely mundane setting and are trying to make bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast? The actual plot would arise entirely from the players screwing up and unleashing the legions of hell or something due to bad rolls.

But the final goal would still be breakfast.

Welcome back, Gatleos.

Perhaps the mages are in an entirely mundane setting and are trying to make bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast? The actual plot would arise entirely from the players screwing up and unleashing the legions of hell or something due to bad rolls.

But the final goal would still be breakfast.

Crikey Gatleos, that idea is so good that I considered asking you if I could steal it a few months ago but then I got GM's Depression instead.

And on a slightly related note I wish Sean would drop the rtd I'm in so he can instead do multiworld madness.

Hey, another mage-related idea. This one uses a random generator.

More specifically, the Grimoire of Questionable Spells, or at least a chart based upon it and made in a similar spirit (the Grimoire, weird though it is, could certainly use some improvement).

Questionable Mages

Now, the idea here would be that each of the players is a mage with real, honest-to-goodness magical powers in a modern world. However, these magical powers would only produce spells like the Ethereal Curse of Bedhead.

Spoiler: Stats and System (click to show/hide)

Now, obviously this would be a pretty silly game, though it could have a bit of plot as well. Also, a bit of a more varied and complex chart for spells could be useful as well. Just throwing the idea out there.

Sounds an interesting premise. What would they do?

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Well, I don't know. I just have the basic mechanics in hand. It's not an RTD I intend to run, just thought that it might be an interesting idea for someone else to try if they feel like it. The plot itself could be anything, really - from a bunch of mages plotting to take over a small country with magic, a bunch of people looking to save the world from some insidious threat and so forth. It would just have to be a modern setting, since the spells make more sense that way.

I would name my character Rasputin purely because this is the type of magic I'd expect from him.

I wouldn't have time to play, but that generator is hilarious. I got 'Unholy Wall of Corn' and 'Cursed Blast of Pornography'. The thought of distracting someone with unscalable mountains of porn before burying them beneath equally unscalable mountains of corn fills me with glee.

If you combine the two you might make the scatmans day.
