If we get 4 players per GM then I'd do something like Golden Sun. I think the franchise lends itself really nicely for a RTD.

did you guys think that once I got around to seeing this, I wouldn't offer myself up as a sacrifice GM?

Now I just have to figure out how to play.

It's okay, we don't know how to play either.

Even I barely know  :P
welcome aboard. We only need 12 more folks.
(we can start with less if there aren't enough folks, but 12 more would be epic :D)

We also kinda need to actually think up the game rules as well. We haven't really decided on anything yet.

quite a few topics being discussed. let me add more. how do people from other teams attack each other? who would roll for that and how?

what are the statistics going to be? that's a bit too simple. we should figure everything else out first.



If this RTD wars actually works, this will go down in history.

Also what I'm thinking is that each GM would also be a player that the Master GM's rolled for.

it goes like this: Master GM > GM > Player

I also suggest some sort of respawn for dead players.

who would roll for that and how? the GMs would roll for their team, the master GMs give team/GM modifiers, if the masters are requested we will do the whole battle
what are the statistics going to be?
successes and such.

If this RTD wars actually works, this will go down in history.
indubitably.

Also what I'm thinking is that each GM would also be a player that the Master GM's rolled for.

yes indeed it goes like that
In italics above.

I also suggest some sort of respawn for dead players.
The GMs can add that, however without respawn their players will be much, MUCH tougher.
also: this will be limited, i.e. you can't nuke the place 20 times in a row  :P

I'm getting another post ready in just a bit.

well yeah.
the basics:

6 parallel universes with their own kind of realities (they belong to 1 GM) and a master Arena.
The Key to Eternal Life or whatever (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 (respawn is one of them). 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.

Will competing teams be able to see the other's actions?

I have an inclincation to say yes, but that should probably be a vote.
Should I make it a topic vote?

I still say points of some sort for the GMs of minor miracles/magic/tech-aid would add an interesting element. Perhaps an income of them based on the number of MacGuffin parts owned?

Will competing teams be able to see the other's actions?
I say yes, at least for most actions. It's too much work to hide them, and it's much easier for spectators this way.
