We should have an RTD in which the GM rolls twice for each action. The second roll is the normal roll; the first determines how literally the GM interprets the player's action.
I'm not so sure. Literal..ity can easily be made clear. For example, "Slash the blade of my sword into the Orc in front of me". Maybe if the players were limited to providing the tools to use and the result, the second roll could instead be for the sanity/expectability of the action..it's a little hard to describe. An action of "Use sword to damage Orc" could be interpreted as follows for..
1:  Hold blade of own sword, use handle to bash orc on the head. (this is a real technique)
2: Take an ally's sword, and throw it at the orc.
3: Take the orc's sword, and slash its head off.
4: Slash at orc with sword.
5: Wait for an opening, then use own sword to slice at Orc's chest.
6: Decapitate work by throwing own sword at its neck.
Add in different magic for players to use, from fire magic to a ring of gender bending, and this mechanic can bring truely chaotic turns. You don't even need to actively be using objects for it to harm you. An action to "Use kitchen utensils to cook meal" could end up relying on that Necronomicon as a cookbook, maybe even summoning a demonic chef for that devil's food cake. You get what I'm saying, right?

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Why'd it take me so long (at least 36 hours) to realize that meant actual ninjas in the generator, rather than someone putting up more generator suggestions while Flab was still catching up (or some other such definition of ninja-ing)?

Before I forget, Splatoon RTD. To summarize the original game, players are half squid, half human kids that alternate between the two species as they use colorful ink-based weapons to color more turf in an arena that the other team. You are slowed in the enemy's ink, and are harmed if you get hit by their weapons, but so are they. As a squid, you move faster in your own ink, camouflaged from the enemy, and regenerate your own ink-based ammunition, but cannot shoot. Other team-based variants exist, as well as a "single-player" campaign against the dreaded Octarians that could shift well into a cooperative game mode.

I've brought back Medieval Fodder, in its raw, frag-heavy, bloody team deathmatchy version, for the good or worse!

Does your ideology actually do anything in gameplay terms? I'd be interested to see how you handle arbitrary value systems, if that is indeed the focus of the game and not just a thin coat of paint over Roll to Fantasy World Deathmatch.

"Fantasy world" can mean a lot of things. Tolkien-y? Steampunk?

Roleplaying with your ideology give bonus to your actions and it would  structured towards that...

Tolkien as Gernic Medieval Fantasy that has magic in it? It basically it meant cliche setting that would silly these 21th century ideology would obviously crash since none of the idealogy are built for pre-industrial days other than Anrcho-Prims

Well, I started the game with the publicly sourced loot table. It's only 40% filled, but it's good enough; I included a link in the OP.

Have fun, you crazy kids.

In other looter's delight news, my own now has nobody on the waitlists. I need more people!

I had a dream last night(one I remember vaguely) about monsters and people who would breed their own monsters to combat them. I think I might run a game based on that.

With the players playing as the monsters, trying to break free from the control of their human oppressors?
