Has anyone here read The Borribles? Except for the part where nobody could start with a name, that universe could make a pretty epic rtd. There's no way I would be able to run it until this summer, but an Einstienian Roulette type mission system might work well, with new players going along with old to earn their names. I might even write up a Borrible book of proverbs if I can find the time to run it.

Hey, it could probably be run that way. That might well be the best way to handle crew/where the players are in any case. Only problem with designing the ships that way is that it doesn't really leave much room for players to try and activate devices that the ship may or may not have. Not a necessary feature by any means, but I suppose leaving "technically" empty rooms would allow for new parts of the ship to suddenly be defined. That would probably end up requiring a rather massive ship in the end though. Honestly I was just tossing out the idea as a base.

Edit: Just for context: My view of the players' ship is some giant hulking box of metal, probably several decades out of date, far larger than the sleeker craft produced nowadays, with so many bloody rooms that even the onboard ai/captain doesn't know where anything on the ship is. It is ridiculously tough, slow, and damn if it doesn't have horrible mileage. But it has a lot of guns, and it'll probably get you where you're heading, minus several tons of armor.

Edit2: Sidenote, haven't there been a few sort of "GM advice" posts in this thread? I feel like I remember one by Tarran at least. If anyone finds those, I feel like they'd be a good thing to add to the first post. Regardless, I'll be downloading this thread to sort of go through it anyway, mostly to compile the number of idea dumps that probably didn't get used.

Edit3: Anyway, I might actually do a simple test in the testing thread, because y'know, that's what its for. It would probably just be one delivery or whatever, unlikely to damage the ship enough to kill it, but good enough for a test.

Roll to Party Without The Party
Oh no! The most awesomest party ever is happening in a Siberian gulag, and you're stuck over on the Pacific coast! Time for a road trip of epic proportions, but wait! The evil GOVERNMENT wants to send you to a different gulag where there is no party! Only brutal, brutal interrogations and publicly being made examples of. Better throw dodging them into your plans!

Thinking of running an RTD where players work at an Alien Petting Zoo on Mars, using a random generator to create the various creatures they have to keep under control. Would anyone be interested? I was feeling pretty inspired earlier, figured I should make a post so I don't forget about it.

I also considered a modern-day piracy RTD or an RTD based around the zany adventures of a group of kids, Ed Edd and Eddy style.
