The plan:
5 teams from alternate realities. Each consists of a GM and 3 Players. Their goal is to fight in the arena which the Master GMs have prepared (ToylK, Gatleos and Dermonster). We will tweak the teams to balance, and will do rolls for folks at random times. We will also roll for the GMs. The GMs will attempt to destroy the other teams.

The result is nearly utter chaos. This will be very fun.

Spoiler: The story (click to show/hide)

There are 5 parallel universes with their own kind of realities (they belong to 1 GM each) and a master Arena.
The Macguffin is scattered in many pieces through all the realities, and some parts are in the arena as well. Each team has its own attributes and such that the master GMs balance out. They will attempt to battle each other and find the pieces, uniting them in the end in one piece. Rolls on worlds will be done (fairly!) by lesser GMs, and rolls in the Arena (and when folks ask us to on worlds) the God Mods will roll.

Rolling rules [GM only]

Spoiler: GM worlds/Regular (click to show/hide)

The progressive system implies bonuses and penalties that alter the size of the die to be rolled, and a specific order of adding/removing outcome variants as the result changes.
Acronyms: CF, F, MS, S, CS, OS
D1: CF.
D2: CF, MS.
D3: CF, F, MS.
D4: CF, F, MS, S.
D5: CF, F, MS, S, OS.
D6: CF, F, MS, S, CS, OS.

Every value above that pads a result in, using "MS-S-OS-MS-S-CS" as the progression. So, the next few values are (pads highlighted):

D7: CF, F, MS, MS, S, CS, OS.
D8: CF, F, MS, MS, S, S, CS, OS.
D9: CF, F, MS, MS, S, S, CS, OS, OS.
D10: CF, F, MS, MS, MS, S, S, CS, OS, OS.

Et cetera.
Bonuses and penalties affect the dice size. The number rolled will never change. God mods will use A different system.

I'd call a player (Not a GM)

[Digital Hellhound]

This sounds... interesting. GM spot for me!

[Gatleos]

I'd say there should be some well-defined rules for interactions between the GMs, to keep it fair.

Then again, the GM's only role is to roll the dice, so they wouldn't have any impact over the game at all (besides cheating). The players do all the work. So it would be closer to a team-based competitive RTD. I was actually planning on one of those.

[Dermonster]

Two of my favorite GM's are already here! Greatness is incoming.

[adwarf]

In but as player not gm

[ExKirby]

Player. Not GMing... this game at least.

Generally GM's also create enemies, enviroments and plot, unless the game is super-freeform. We'd need some restrictions and rules for that here, I guess.

That was part of the "cheating" I was talking about. If they can make anything in their own reality, it would create so many loopholes in the rules that there would be more hole than loop.

The first thing to figure out is how the GMs and teams will interact with each other. There should either be a central area where they physically interact, or some way for them to affect each others' environments directly or indirectly.

[Ahra]

player.

[Dermonster]

Hey Gat, you gonna join as a GM? would be epic.

[Nirur Torir]

I'll join as a GM, so long as we have set rules.

exactly.

The first thing to figure out is how the GMs and teams will interact with each other. There should either be a central area where they physically interact, or some way for them to affect each others' environments directly or indirectly.

How about this: GMs interact with players through Portals at their home planet. GMs do rolls on their own planet. They can do anything they want, on their own planet. The master GMs (me and some others, for example Gatleos) would take care of space and hyperspace rolls, and we would make sure the GMs play fair.

They must define their planet beforehand (what it consists of, environment, etc.) and what kind of units they will have on their planet. Players choose what GM's planet they spawn in, and they may choose to go with or against, or neutral to "their" GM.

[Dermonster]

You know when this started up in the rollers block thread I thought we would all go around messing in other peoples RTD verses Multiworld Madness style.

Not complaining, just making a statement.

[Nirur Torir]

Perhaps the 'teams' could each have their own universe where they are in complete control, and then a central arena of sorts, with each GM controlling a part of it? Inventories and skills could be balanced by TK when players cross over, and GMs could each control the arena-zones of a second GM. There wouldn't then be a real need to ensure that the GMs play by subjective fairness.
