Arkham City-inspired idea;

The players are supervillains and superheroes (or maybe just supervillains or morally ambigious characters) with their own gangs of henchmen, supporters, connections, etc. etc. who fight over control of a city/specific game area. Other than eachother, they have to deal with unaffliated supers, vigilantes, the cops and failure-prone minions.

Sounds good. I think it'd be better to make it as dramatic/thematic as possible, though. Giving bonuses for describing your actions well or monologuing as you fight, for instance.

You can never have too much monologuing.

Can anyone confirm which one of these is the actual IRC channel? This may be the reason it doesn't see too much activity.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

ARGH! What happened here? Why is the RTD forums so...Dead?

Curses! I feel...sad...
My reasons: I went to grandma's along with parents (3 hour drive, along with sleep over, didn't bring computer). And Drag and Tal didn't post.

Perhaps the RTD forums need new GM's? It does seem like it's pretty much the same few people running games nowadays.
Yeah, we really need more GMs.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

H..Hey...I'm a new GM...

Don't forget about me!...

But, in all seriousness, I agree. Poor oldbies getting run down by having half a dozen different RTD's to run >_>

I've been busy and tired lately, I sorta stalled 30% of the way through an update! :-\ Once I feel a bit more alive I'll finish it off.
Also, I need to post in a whole bunch of RtDs and forum games, I'll get on that soon...

I just can't get any enthusiasm, or motivation when I try to update any of my RTDs ..

I'm sure we can all agree it's a lot more fun to think up of a new RTD than actually running it :P

Hm. Sense of duty helps for me, especially when turns are fairly easy to run and thus I have no excuse.

Beyond that, refreshing your memory of something that makes the game awesome, or choosing your games around something you always think is awesome, might help. For instance, if the game's based on a video game or book, playing or reading some of it might remind you why it's awesome. If there's one video game or book or something that you always consider extremely relevant and awesome, that might be a safer choice for your next game.

If it's not explicitly based on anything, this still applies, just a bit differently. Any number of scifi works might be able to remind you why your scifi game is awesome, for instance.

More feedback on my first RTD would help with encouragement for another.  :wink nudge:
