Because I'm considering it.
Nah, you can do it. I'm... somewhat occupied. I doubt I could consistently make turns. Calculus for the lose.

I've been experimenting with a concept of using physical stats to determine the maximum "power level" of a player and rolling multiple d6's based on that value, rather than rolling once and adding a bonus. To succeed, you have to roll as many 4's and above as the difficulty of an action. Some of you might recognize this from my current arena game. It's a modified version of that one.

The advantage, in my eyes, is that it lets me use re-rolls as a way to represent skill level. So your physical stats are the absolute limit on what you can do, while your skills allow you to re-roll X times based on your skill level. Being better at doing something makes you more reliable, but unskilled characters still have a chance of pulling off something in the same difficulty range.

On the other hand, I can't help but feel like I'm just trying to be novel for the sake of novelty.

Well that expanded quicker than I expected, I was just away for a day! I did have some plot ideas akin to monk12 and hb's but more like a stag do. Drunkenness mechanic initial thoughts involved increasing dice sizes, I think. Anyway, good luck with the game! I wasn't going to do it, I have enough trouble with my own, even after receiving shamanic-like plot-direction visions.

Deathmatches are nearly always nice.

I could set one of those up in fifteen minutes or less.

More importantly: what exactly are you looking for in a game you would run(long or short to update, complicated or simple, fewer or more players, free-form or structured, plotted or plotless)?

Do a game about kittens, where you... wait, no, about NYANkittens, where you have to grow them into nyancats before crushing them to make delicious, highly-prized nyanwine and putting it in your nyancellars to age it to perfection. Wait this makes no sense at all does it?

How about a game where the players are, uh. Uhmm. *Yoink looks around the room for inspiration* ...Giraffes, and they're searching the Sahara (and later on various other environments, possibly voted on by the players) for fancy scarves to collect and wear. The player who earns the most scarf points by [ARBITRARY TIME/TURN LIMIT] wins, and is installed in the newly-built Giraffe Palace to rule over Giraffe Kingdom, with the other players taking the roles of various advisers and ministers as the game shifts into the form of some kind of mutant kingdom builder/strategy/4x/colony management sim.   
Yeahhh that'll be great lock it in you're welcome.

Yeah, you should run a game you're sure you want to run, not "what's popular right now."

IO is correct.

You need to find a setting and/or theme that pleases you, a story that you want to continue, a tone that you like, and a ruleset that suits; and then hope the combination will produce characters you want to RP with and for.

Good luck.


Speaking of which, Roll to Great War: Blackadder would be a good game. You are going to be sent over the top at dawn tomorrow, and have 24 hours/turns to get out of it. Lighthearted.

The Apprentice: Siberia. The players are apprentice shamans and must pass various tests including confronting carniverous reindeer and psychodelic moss. Horror. Psychodelic doesn't look like it's written right.

The Priests: Rural Ireland Version. The players are priests in rural Ireland and must serve Mass, administer to their flock, that kind of thing. But something goes awry, and instead of competing for promotion to Bishop, the priests must join forces to combat the greater threat. Gritty and ultra-detailed realist.

Best Man. The players are members of a stag do and end up 300 miles away from the wedding, which is tomorrow. They have lost all of their clothes and money, and must get the groom back. Unfortunately they are horrifically drunk and so use a special 1,1,1,3,5,6 dice. (3 is my least favourite die roll, as a GM.) Farce. (obviously, but there are many tones that would work well with this - what if they've just woken up to find one of their members brutally murdered, and all of them covered in his blood?)

Roll to Brian. The players are competing holy men during the Roman occupation of Judea. They must compete for followers, but also avoid being put to death.


I've got a couple more but lunchtime is over.

I believe it's psychedelic.

Oh man, I want to play almost all of those games. Why have I never thought of a Blackadder RTD before?!
Unfortunately I doubt I possess the comedic genius needed to even approach such a Herculean task, but I would love to participate in such a thing as a player if it were to become a thing.
