Space Monster road trip sounds like my kind of game. A bunch of teenaged cosmic horrors getting into trouble, getting drunk (on the souls of mortals/stars/just a whole lot of alcohol), trying to get laid. On the side, they have the best time of their lives.

And thats really how Slaneesh was born.

The fact that I fail to be excited only proves that I desperately need sleep.

I'd like to watch it, but I'm not sure I could commit myself to playing.

Okay, I'm thinking that the Space Monster Road Trip is probably the most viable game idea. Otherwise you'd get a situation where one player runs off on their nice new spaceship while the others are left sitting on their thumbs and waiting for the chance of more explorers to appear.

You know, I'm thinking I could run this, to tell the truth. I'm definitely liking the idea.

[lawastooshort]

It is a good idea.

[Yoink]

It'll definitely be an entertaining read, however the mechanics work out.

[Xantalos]

It is a good idea.

Best idea.

[Persus13]

So I and wwolin came up with the idea of having some sort of minimalist RTD that would design a non-minimalist RTD. However, fleshing out this concept is hard for me right now. Can anyone help?

[lawastooshort]

Have the minimalist RtD "You Are God" wherein the canon history of the world is forged for the non-minimalist RtD. In this world five brave adventurers must quest for the Holy Item of God, braving the unspeakable atrocities wreaked upon their flailing but not entirely lost dignity as they cross a world of unlikely horror. This would not work if both are run concurrently as the first one would probably speed ahead.

Short Version: No, I can't. Sorry.

[Harry Baldman]

Ooh, ooh, better idea! Instead of the minimalist players being gods, they are instead the citizens of a glorious empire where magic flows freely and anything is possible. The players will then be given either a simple objective (such as become the king) and will be expected to do something of that sort.

Once the spirit of minimalism sets in and everything is a) messed up, b) ruled by vile entities of the nether realms (such as YHWH), c) ruled by the minimalist players, which is probably worse, d) blown to shit or e) some combination of a, b, c and d, the non-minimalist players assume control of the next generation - ordinary (as much as this is possible) people who have to a) make it less messed up and livable, b) eliminate the vile entities from the realm, c) overthrow the foul minimalist rulers and institute their own society, d) make everything slightly less blown to shit, e) probably all four.

Minimalist Setting Generation may actually work as a concept, though it would take quite a bit of commitment.

[lawastooshort]

Oh yes, it would be a bit like playing fortress mode, and then going adventuring in it.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I kind of want to run a semiminimalist Oregon Trail Meets Giant Mecha RTD.

Where, you aren't much required to think much, but there is some strategy, mainly in mecha building and approaching problems: a river of ACIDIC MAGMA stands in your way, which, with heavy armor, you could ford, or with thrusters, you could jump, or with a drill, go under...
