Also when your opponent rolls a 1 or 2 on the to hit table, and you roll a 3 or higher on the dodge/block roll, you get off a free parry.

I would say here that if it's a 1 or 2 the requirement should be a 4 and if it's a solid 1 then it can be a 3.

As for the new critical hit chance I think it's too high at the moment. Criticals should be critical to a fight and should be apparent in their relative rarity. Maybe decrease it to a 2 in 12 and up to a 4 in 12 with a +1 to crits.

Hmm. I see, thanks. Btw if you intent to hang around for a while or don't have anything to do would you like to help me with a few other issues regarding my rtd? If yes, then join the IRC chat #bay12rtd(Opening post has a link). If no, then i appreciate the help given anyway.

I'm willing to help and go on the IRC but the website is blocked because I'm at TAFE. I'll go on when I get home but I won't get home until like 5 hours from now. While I'm writing this, I would suggest turning the critical from a base 2 in 12 to a base 1 in 6 because D6's are a staple of RTDs and a +1 to crits will properly give a +1 rather than a +2 on a D12.

Bloody hell, you people have revived #bay12rtd? I've been hoping for so long... so long. Oh, the memories.

Empty right now, though. But I believe.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

What is this #bay12rtd and why have I only heard of it now?

[Digital Hellhound]

It is in the first post. Webchat freenode, channel name #bay12rtd. Second question: it's been dead and buried for a long time... or so I thought.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

What was it used for at the time that it was active?

What was it used for at the time that it was active?

Generally? RTD GMs came to discuss ideas and plans when they didn't feel like making a full Block post, though largely also to complain about their players and distract themselves when they should've been updating. And just to... hang out. GMs used to like talking.

If I find the time to update I might come back and distract myself from updating a bit... Is it # or ##?

[Parsely]

I also registered a channel on darkmyst.org with the same name: #bay12rtd

[Andres]

Doesn't look like it's getting revived. It might've been if I hadn't been at TAFE at the time. But I was. So I'm guessing it's not.

 

[Digital Hellhound]

We had a fair amount of people and good discussion on freenode earlier, actually. Very productive. I'd forgotten what it felt like.

[Andres]

nvm then!

Hey guys, with the failure of my other RTD, through entirely my fault, I am trying to come up with a better way to run a RTD so that I can actually keep up with updates.

The lesson I learned from Etrian Odyssey RTD, is that I need to keep it simpler.  Even simpler than I thought I was doing.  I was thinking maybe a point system to give bonuses on actions.  Something like:

-Start with 3 points.
-A point is earned for excellent/hilarious posts.
-1 Point: +1 to a roll.
-X Points: Permanent +1 to a specific action
-More X Points: Permanent +1 to a category of actions.
-(Maybe) 1 Point: -1 to an enemy roll?  Depends how combat or whatever was organized.

So everything would be driven off of well written posts.  And beyond that rolls would be 1d6 or 2d6 depending on what kind of deviation I'm looking for.

EDIT:Oh also I forgot to mention players would probably start with some amount of +1 bonuses at char gen, to represent specialties.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

So a 'teach you to write good' Edutainment RTD?
Hell, I'd be down for that.

[Slayer1557]

It's kind of inspired from the tabletop game "Exalted"s way of doing things.

Has anyone done a system like this?  How has it worked?  Any thoughts on tweaking it or price points for various things?
