I should know. Not from GM'ing, but I tried playing in one of those once. Apart from minimalist RTD's, it doesn't work very well because I always try to destroy everything in the end.

Don't you try to destroy everything in minimalist RTDs as well?
I do seem to have fallen into that rut, yes.
Still, at least I don't have actual omnipotence, right?
Because good things would not result.

177. Who needs objectives, story or plot hooks? Just hurl your players out into a campaign setting and let them screw around however they please.

That's not a bad game idea. It's an interesting GM exercise.

Revised 177. Who needs objectives, story or plot hooks? Just hurl your players out into a campaign setting and punish them if they fail to do what you want.

Well, it may be an interesting GM exercise, but it only makes for a fun game if overarching objectives do indeed emerge soon after the beginning. If the GM doesn't provide anything meaningful to do and relies solely on the players to come up with fun things to act upon, the players usually lose interest and get bored soon enough.

Unfortunately, Ninja Chef got jealous and killed him via backstabbination. Now Niklas has risen from the grave, his one mission: to become BEST CHEF. Also kill that ninja guy.

Oh, and shouldn't the waitlist be on the first post so people don't have to bug you about who's where on it?

I'm about halfway through an RTD. And there was an enemy in this RTD that was attacked by a legless zombie, a horde of puppies, a little girl, a horse, and fought them all off before having all his limbs except one leg (this includes his neck) telekenetically snapped by said little girl, really a ghost that escaped from a soul jar by means of little girl possession, and KEPT ON FIGHTING BEFORE MAKING A GETAWAY ON A PASSING CART.
Once I finish reading, I am joining as soon. As. Possible.

Will get on my plane for Canada again tomorrow this morning. I heard it's around -15°C there. GOD HELP ME !
Who seriously invented such a climate (am happy because there's snow, even if I'll freeze) ?
Where are you going in Canada?
Montreal
Might be a mite cold there.
