By the way, if anyone was even vaguely interested about my mutation RTD yet didn't say anything for whatever reason...

It's up.

[Fniff]

And if anyone is interested in that wizards solving mundane problems RTD I was talking about, here it is!

[LordSlowpoke]

What about a game with multiple GMs who took turns making turns? "Your turn to make the turn." "Can someone PM the GM?" "I guess we'll just have to auto that GM."

i already tried this

check gwg's games thread for details

[Parsely]

Was it the one ebbor was talking about?

I remember trying that once, though it was a suggestion game, not an RTD. It failed because everyone who was interested volunteered for the GM list, and we thus had no players

Cuz that sounded like an easy to fix problem.

[LordSlowpoke]

no it was on a roll to gm system

basically everyone who played was automagically put on a list and the current gm was supposed to roll for the next gm after processing the turn and it died so fast it's ridiculous

it worked pretty well on a "hijack this if you want" system though

[Parsely]

That's not what I was suggesting. Not every player single player is going to be cut out to write, which is why it's a bad idea to roll randomly for new GMs.

Well don't pick them from viewers. Recruit 3 top GMs who are really different from one another, and let them rotate and interpret the story and the player's actions however they like. Suggestion game seems like the best format but it could work with player games.

This seems like it'd be worth a shot. The actual game would have to be interesting, and the theme must justify the rotating GM mechanic.

[LordSlowpoke]

literally everyone can write a minimalist rtd though

ain't that half of the appeal

though i want to watch the hilarity related to the three gms having to compromise on the direction where the game is being taken therefore i give you my pointless blessing

[Parsely]

Well it doesn't have to be an RtD oh wait I'm not in gamers block fu-

A RTD. Two teams. 3 players each.

The Blue Team: The cool and calculating blue team uses colorful roleplaying and ingenious teamwork to overcome their problems and make a great story.

The Red Team: LE EPIC MINIMALIST RTDS ARE SO FUNNY AND RANDOM I BLOW UP THE MOON LOL

WHO WILL PREVAIL

Red, due to being basically able to roll to win unless you make very specific rules.
Just sayin'.

You'll notice that I didn't make any rules. It's just a concept. Of course the red team would win if they were allowed to do anything, but I didn't say they were.

Let both teams do anything, no need for rules

[Kadzar]

I don't care much for the concept of Minimalists vs Real Roleplayers, but I do like the idea of two teams going head to head. Preferable it would be more than just a deathmatch, instead being some goal both teams are trying to accomplish. I think it might be cool if there are some situations where the teams would benefit from working together, but they both know that, in the end, only one of them can claim the prize, so it would be an uneasy alliance.

[Unholy_Pariah]

I dunno, it could work if the RP'ers had the same level of power but just needed to roleplay their actions.

Sort of a "supervillian alliance vs infant gods' type thing...

[BlitzDungeoneer]

So, who'd be interested in a death game RTD a la Sword Art Online? You know, create a character, try to clear 100 floors/entrance to tree/50 floor dungeon, to get out of the game? I've got nothing concrete, but it's something I've been thinking on.
