I've always wondered what makes a good loot generator. I briefly ran a loot death match here some years ago and I remember my generator being some incoherent mash of excel sheets and stuff I just sorta winged

I don't know how the generator works, but there seems to be too many "gas" effects. Maybe some could be smoke, flames, a splash of liquid, dust, webs, beams of light, etc?

Sounds about accurate to the first Looter's Delight generator though.

Oooooh I love loot generators!

Also hey guys guess who's back because they've decided to catalogue all the RTD characters they ever made?

It's me.

I'm back.

And I...I think I'm going to start Mall Fight up again. With like...actually planning? And a plot? Because like...I'm an adult? With writing skills for once?

Anyone think they might want to hop onboard for that once it comes around in like a week or so?

Edit: During that weird little downtime the site had I managed to throw together most of the stuff I need to get it running for the first few chapters, so this is definitely going to be happening, if anyone is interested in joining!

Hey, anyone want a dungeon crawling rtd? I should have some free time in a few weeks. Chunky salsa, overshoots, death and cyberpunky.

Edit: OR, a perplexicon.

I would be interested.

You know, I've had this idea for a while: An RTD in which the players are mooks protecting a final dungeon from a party of adventurers. Mooks evolve into stronger variants and forms upon death depending of the way they died and how much experience they gathered before dying. The more a monster survives before getting killed, the more experience they gain for their next life.

For example, lets say a player has a slime-class monster. They find the adventurers and are instantly killed with a torch. Next time they are able to evolve, they can either transform into a bigger slime from a different color or become a fire slime.

It would probably be semiminimalistic and with as many RPG tropes as possible. I might run it later when I have free time and if there's any interest on the concept.

That does sound like an interesting concept.

Sounds like a really cool idea. Now I'm trying to think about how to make that work with 5th edition D&D monsters.

I think the only things currently stopping me from making a thread is that: I won't have any free time until December as I was unexpectedly busy the whole month, and that I still don't have a name for it yet.

One of those would work, but I was hoping for something that didn't have "Monster" on the title, to not be too similar to You are a Monster (another RTD about evolving monsters.)

I feel like a plotless roll to shoot em up game that's even simpler than starship troopers.

I would definitely play it, though I feel like it should have some deep, thoughtful and entirely superfluous backstory that exists purely to be ignored by the players and their bloodthirsty, one-dimensional characters and make the chaos and destruction they cause all the more entertaining.
