Bit too late on the uptake there Darvi.

We're not highlander-immortals, there can be more than one.

That could make for an interesting system though. Once you get down to 1 HP, you roll a D6 anytime you get hit and on a 1 you die.

(ATT) Darvi charges wildly at Derm, flailing his arms and screaming incoherently! (DEF) Derm dives out of the way, just barely avoiding Darvi's strike!

If anyone were to go through with Roll to Escort Mission, they would have to write each turn twice from separate perspectives, keeping each side interested. Might be a little tricky.

They'd also have to be registered at the MC forums. Obviously.

Roll to Escort Mission

The players are trying to get the target from point A to point B. The twist? The target is controlled via suggestion adventure on a thread in the Minecraft forums. And the first suggestion is always used.

I'd play that.

When I saw "Escort RTD", I totally misinterpreted what it would be about.

Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

An idea I came up with at the end of the MTG RTD:

Mini RTDs, with a specific number of turns, after which the game is over.  The range would be 10-20, with a small number of players.  The idea is to have a RTD long enough to be worth the investment of interest, but short enough to be over in a small timeframe, without risking player/GM burnout. 


Interest check?  I've got a couple ideas I'm tossing around in my head...

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Yeah, that'd be cool. In part, that's my operating theory behind Roll to Deathmatch- change things up every 10-20 turns to keep things fresh and interesting, and if I get bored of it I can let it end naturally without much fuss. Also lets waitlist people actually see gametime :P

I didn't notice that until now.  :(
