I would be very interested in this. It seems fairly interesting.

It's always fun when you post an action in an RTD, and shortly afterwards realise you missed something rather obvious that could have made your character's life rather easier. Oh well.

Also I'm thinking of starting up a new RTD, not a throwaway minimalist this time.
Haven't quite decided what it's going to be, yet. I have a couple of ideas I'm mulling over, and then of course there's the rather daunting "Alien Jurassic Park" idea I had a while back which received a fair bit of interest. Hmmmm.
It's 4AM and I have energy drink in the fridge by the way, so who knows we might just see a miracle occur.

But yoink if you do a throwaway minimalist we will get to see one of your great endings you write great endings

[Yoink]

Are you implying that I never finish my proper games?!
Because, uh. That's sadly quite true.

I have only read one of your games roll to busk I assume by throwaway you mean if you get bored of it you can write a silly ending and close it because I really liked the ending to roll to busk

I just went ahead and started it. Waiting is for the weak and cowardly, I NEED TO SMASH WORDS.

I just read the OP, and I am grinning from ear-to-ear.
Games where players take the role of gods themselves never really appeal to me, but acting as their champions? In a barren, semi-post apoc wasteland? Teaming up with and backstabbing your fellow divine champions, all in the name of the god you follow? I'm not sure this setting could get much more badass.

If I don't post a sheet, know that it was purely because I was too overwhelmed by exciting character ideas. Funnily enough, it actually reminds me somewhat of an idea I had some time ago for an RTD I wanted to run, yet never felt confident enough to.

Definitely going to think long and hard about a character concept.

Edit: Hrm, Digital, are players allowed to coordinate with their characters? As in, both characters follow the same patron, or failing that, their gods are related in some way? Not that I'm planning to do so, just curious to know if that would be a possibility.

[Digital Hellhound]

Oh, yes, it's possible. You should maybe ask further questions in the thread, anyway. I'm glad you like the idea so much.

[tuypo1]

Legends should be fun im going to run the best brothel on the continent

Also I died in history and I was just starting to discover the secrets of bronze

[Alev]

Well, Mister Baldman, it would appear your minimalist experiment has already spawned probably more IC discussion between players than I have ever seen in an RTD, with the possible exception of ER. Definitely the most IC discussion I've seen in an RTD over such a short span of time!

Well played, well played indeed.

Yeah, I am thoroughly enjoying it. Definitely both minimalist and serious, high I doubted it at the beginning.

i kinda wish things had started off a bit slower i wanted to get back and dissect leaches but theres all this commotion and ive got to talk with conrak about nets and pack everything up before we leave well we will probably be able to take the sled if we get left behind but my character dosent know that yet

I'm technically the reason we had to move.

[tuypo1]

So what do you guys think will happen in legends with the new brothel the townsfolk are complaining about there are some predictions out already my moneys on gets burnt down in the middle of the night although with the sheriff likely dead soon anything could happen

[Yoink]

That's not an RTD, is it?

[tuypo1]

That's not an RTD, is it?

Not by name but it basically is with a few minor changes

Had 2 ideas while on vacation:

1) A survival/deathmatch (potentially) focused on RP and building where people are assigned powers from various YA book and television series. 2 problems though. One, I can only think of 3 series that would fit off the top of my head. Two, not sure whether to randomly assign people their powers and let them discover them, or just let them pick at the start.

2) A game where players start as D-list Batman villains with nothing but a gimmick to their names, and try to work their way up to infamy. Not sure whether or not it should be minimalist, though.

Not sure I have time to run either of them, but I really want to.

Oh gods yes. Yessss. This would make me so happy.

Ahhhh, nighttime, now THIS was the time the city came to life, when the rats crawled out and the horrors come into play, being a hero with the sun behind you nowadays is too easy, stop a purse snatcher or two and retire in glamour and as a celebrity somewhere else but here, at night? The rules come off and this town is painted in red!

But being a cut purse here is never enough for a real villain, those who pick themselves up from the ground a build an empire from the dirt! Who don't kill without reason because they have standards, and being a villain is so much more thrilling than being a hero because we have bloody Parades for those who valiantly sacrificed themselves in the name of duty! But the dark ones? The ones who even errr on the side of ambiguity barely get a ballon to name for it, but that's what makes it so heart pounding, knowing how many people want your name scratched off from the dictionary of history, and living in spite of it, knowing that if the heroes go down as the outside underpants wearing heroes they are, their stories will be told for decades! But once we go? We won't be the whisper behind the locked doors, we will be off handedly mentioned in the grater story of some other smiling idiot!

Plus, we always get the cool gear, those guys get capes but we get so much more! Freeze rays, death beams, super suits, charismatic charm, and a whole ARMY under our feet, And all from our own strength, we ain't aliens, we ain't the mystical mages so many honour! We are the ones that stand firm even knowing the great pyramid we operate on from any level would like us dead for one reason or another.

We are going to be the thorn in everyone else's side! We will be the ones clawing our way up, and kicking down those at the top! And we know that it's not for some 'higher cause', we aren't going to heaven when we kick the bucket, but you know what?! We, Are going to have some bloody fun while at it!

Now, Who, are you?!

What do you think of the intro? I'm not going to make the actual game myself, but I always like the chance to stretch my creative muscles.
Also, just noticed, but didn't shad night run something like that? Remember? Be an evil genius or something?
