Okay, I've decided to start my own RTD.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ROLL TO TIME TRAVEL!
 A rouge time-traveler has changed many events in history! The Nazis have now won WW2, the moon landing was attacked by aliens, and someone just nuked Australia during the freakin' stone age! If this continues, the entire space-time continuum will collapse, destroying everything. A well-known veteran time-traveler policeman by the name of Fred E. is gathering a team of recruits from the past, present, and future to find and stop the culprit.
Here's the basic mechanics:

Okay, each character comes from a specific era, such as prehistoric, modern day, future, or medieval. That era corresponds to the starting equipment allowed, a single positive trait, a single negative trait, and a language. For the sake of it not being overcomplex, all players can understand one another. They also have a job which gives them a specific ability. The rest you should be able to figure out. Feel free to invent eras, professions, or whatever.
Example:
Name: Urist McGenericpersonton
Era: Future
-Brave New world: +1 to resisting fear
-Tech Addict: -1 to operating non-electronic machines
Language(s): Futurespeak, Modernspeak

Whew, finished that wall of text. I'll update a minimum of twice a week. I'm accepting up to 6 people, so join now!
