The Cleansing of Candyland

Thus began the ruthless journeys of several individuals willing to go to any lengths to realize their own private visions of paradise, usually through excessive intimidation, hair-trigger political culls, and rampant genocide.

This intrigues me

AND ANOTHER THING....

Hello everybody, i am making this game, but i just wanted people to see it first, here are some rules.

Spoiler: BlahBlahRulesBlah (click to show/hide)

Dice rolls will be a D6 with no overshoots.

All rolls will have Initave, to see the orders of rolls.
Every round their will be a powermonger, who will make a new rule or cause a random event through PM's if its secretive (e.g. Changing an ally into a enemy) or just on the thread if its a rule change (e.g. changing the dice from D6 to D10.

The goal is to either comeplete the goal given at the beginning af the round or by beng the last one standing.

You can give secret actions through PMs that won't be shown on the thread unless the PowerMonger makes it so, just post a dummy action to be shown on the roll.

Combat will work with another Inititave roll, and then combat will work either [X vs Y] or if it's a stealth attack, you will roll for stealthe a 5/6 will give you a free attack, a 4 will give them a combat debuff, and so on.

People will have 20 HP to start but It can be increased through items and PowerMonger Intervention.

Their will be Items and weapons which will give buffs.

You don't need a character sheet so spots should go fast.

Dead people will Be taken back to the waitlist the sooner you die the lower down you will be, the PowerMonger automaticaly gets the first spot as they don't get to play

So what do you think? It's my first solid idea and i would love it if you liked it.

There's not enough information in there. What's the power mongerer, etc. It would probrably be better if you just told us what makes it different from a generic RTD. Tell us setting, and things like that.

[anailater]

Sorry I was away from my laptop and was doing it from memory will expand it later.

[Yoink]

Oh my god this is so silly.

Dude. I think I am going to make a minimalist RTD powered almost entirely by this site! Who's in?!

So, yeah. Who's in? Some examples:

Inverse berserkers of divinity and samurai in modern Thebes. The world is plagued by contaminated areas, oceans rising and massive storms. Some things you might run into: a dire deed, exile and powerful forces for evil.

Preservation witchs of torment, temporal shamans and shapeshifters in modern Rio de Janiero. Some things you might run into: a deception, a disagreement and misunderstanding.

Pyromonks of terror and empires in medieval Mexico City. Be worried about giant rats and crazed humans. Some things you might run into: an illness and an injury.

Vengenance alchemists of nobility and crusades in modern Central Africa. Some things you might run into: a breakdown, a bet, a revelation and a purchase.

How minimalist?

[Yoink]

Not that minimalist. In fact, probably not all that minimalist at all.
Apart from the fact that I'd let that site do most/all of the thinking. ...You know what, I might just post it.
I'm still waiting on a post for my "proper" RTD anyways.

Question, though: Would it work better/be funnier to just post the generated text, or describe it myself?
The latter would be more work, but it might leave more options... But then the first might be more amusing. Hrm.
...Am I overthinking this?

[lawastooshort]

If you're doing it as something quick and silly (conceptwise), then I'd let it do the describing, I guess.

Are there going to be characters or just players?

And now I want to do A hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy RTD again, ...

@Yoink. Random generators are always fun. Definitively going to watch.

[Yoink]

I POSTED IT. I am sure going to regret this when I am less silly...

Which is to say, never!

YES! ALL THE YES, I just finished reading all five so this would be the most perfect thing ever!

So I've now got the urge to run a superstar wrestling RTD. Basically, you are professional wrestlers in a world where wrestling is real and must fight each other to become the best wrestler in the federation-I'll call it Bay Wrestling Federation or something like that. And how do you do that? WRESTLING.

Instead of having one match at a time, I'll run it as an ad hoc different matches at different times in game time but in the same time turns wise, meaning more people playing at once. After all the matches, it'd be like between-races in MKGP, where you RP, chat and allow me to invent the next round of matches.

Matches would be your standard RTD improvisation affair, but I'd probably use Fatigue Points. Every time you take damage, you gain some Fatigue, and going too far above 100 can injure you. To win, you need to pin your opponent-first by downing your opponent, calling the pin and rolling 3d100-if all of them go under your foe's fatigue, you win. You could also make them tap out by putting them in a lock and forcing their fatigue over the limit.

I reckon players should also get a miraculous kickout-a once-per-bout item that makes a kickout-I roll two of the dice, and if they want to foorcifully kick out, they say so. But they don't know if it's wasted... I reckon other players could also invade bouts-even if they are-were already fighting. I want to make Fatigue collateral, to prevent over-use, but that makes timelines a problem. I suppose be un-retroactive I.e. Bob is fighting in a later match. He has 60 Fatigue, and rolls a 65 to kick out of a pin. He decides to invade rival Joe's match, which happened before his-but he eats a chair for 10 Fatigue. This is quickly added onto his main bout, but doesn't get him retroactively pinned. Basically, this means you're more likely to get injured invading everyone's matches-and rightfully so. And of course, there's fame and titles to be won as well...

[Caerwyn]

ExKirby...What if you took the idea, but made it golf, instead of wrestling?

I'd totally dig that. I like your way of thinking, however.

Seeing all of these minimalist rtd's makes me want to create a system so complex and absolutely silly that part of the challenge is figuring out how to play the game.
