Okay, I really want to make a lego version of a generally accepted RtD, but I cannot for the life of me pick one. So, which one should I get started working out rules for?

 Door number one: Basic arena fight; fighting other players or enemies with lego flavor. Not very original.
   Backdoor 1a: Really weird arena; Pick another door, stick the fancy lego mechanics into a high speed arena fight. Could be amazing,
                          could be terrible.
 Door number two: Adventure game; Souped up arena with a world and a plot. Hopefully includes overcomplicated crafting of weapons, skills,
                            spells, or some combination of those based on actual lego configurations.
 Door number three: Life/evolution game; Multiple, competing, attempts to create a successful lifeform.
  Backdoor 3a: Life game with unique lego based chemistry. You will start off with a self replicating molecule made of bricks and go from
                     there. May have very long times between updates, but I am fully willing to try this. Will require extreme dedication if anyone
                     wants to successfully make a universe from scratch. May have ethics considerations if it works. May be written as a computer
                     program to create a baby universe. Will take a while, probably working with the future players, to come up with laws of physics.
  Backdoor 3b: Stripped down version of 1a, you are a lego chemist. Less mind numbing to run/play. Might be fairly boring.
 Door number four: You are a Lego; A block, not a minifigure. Probably no minifigures at all. Not sure how to spice the game up, but it's an
                      interesting place to build a game from. It currently has no game mechanics. It really needs some.

   So, which of these deserve to see the light of day? Which should be killed forever? I have no idea, so I need you people to help me out with this.

I've been thinking about doing something similar. At one point I was considering turning Looter's Delight into a stop motion film too.

I've actually been waiting for the point where I'm assigned another story project in English, so I can turn one of my RTDs (Or someone else's with their permission) into a comprehensible story. Looter's Delight would be a nice one, as would TCM's arena match game.

Man you should do a real famous RTD.
Hint hint.

He's talking about the long abandoned Roll to Roll to Dodge, wherein he gained his reputation for derming everything.

Someone needs to make a suggestion game where you control Derm.

There wouldn't even need to be a story line, because if there was one, it'd die shortly thereafter.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.

Ahaha. I remember starting reading that.

And then trying to necro it.

When I was a Naïve young Forum-Goer.

But no, I think Id rather stay away from anything INCREDIBLY long. I wouldn't make a novel of Einsteinian Roulette or Deviation 22, but something like Roll To Dodge Princess Celestia or The Magnificent Timelord, or even the aforementioned Looter's Delight would be more fitting for a literature makeover.

I believe I played an undead theodore roosevelt, who upon defeat had a fistfight with death.

There's a reason death took Theodore while he was sleeping.
