So... are we going with that combustion rule? :P

I suppose you need the other roll either way.

Completely looking forward to the RTD Library! The only way I've learned of RTDs are because of Bay12 and it's members, picking things up by observation so, having a thread dedicated to that would be a great help!

Especially when out of all the RTDs, only a few are still active yet there are many good ones in the pile which could give a great learning lesson (other than being linked in sigs, that is).

Okay.. should I just post it as 'Roll to Dodge Library', with the Op containing [] ...?

I trust you people will help me make it perfect :3

Hm, maybe start it like this:

Spoiler: Active RTDs (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Dead RTDs (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]
[spoiler=Active RTDs]=HALL OF FAME=

=Others=[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Dead RTDs]=HALL OF FAME=

=Others=[/spoiler]

I separated Hall of Fame from the others.
Hall of Fame is unspoilered.

What if one player is the original, another is the clone, and only those two players and the GM know which is which? You could easily build a system around that, where both are trying to convince everyone else that they are the original. I'm not sure how well a mixture of RtD and mafia-like social game would do, though. It depends on the implementation.
YES, YES, YES. I still think it'd need some extra something going on (you know, a reason they'd care), but this could be absolutely beautiful.

Make them play as Hitler and his ever so evul clone. A Hitler wouldn't share his glory with a copy and no sane man wants two Hitlers trying to dominate the world.

This morning I found myself looking at the numberplates of the cars on my drive in to work and seeing them as tileset characters in ASCII... a silver Renault I was behind had an interesting scene of a Human wrestling a Minotaur near a bin.

Fuhrer Team Powers, Activate!

Having the players play as various unpleasant historical figures could definitely be entertaining, but you'd probably still need a compelling reason why everyone else would care one way or the other. Maybe each clone is spliced with a different (or combination of all current players') figures, so in the same way that Hitler and Clone Hitler cannot abide each other, neither can Clone Hitler tolerate Clone Stalin or Clone Genghis Khan.

Alternatively, just stuff them on a spaceship like I was thinking.

I can't see social gameplay, based entirely on what the players themselves say and do, blending very well with the RNG. How would rolls factor into the clones remaining hidden or being revealed?

I think it would work better in a situation where only NPCs are being fooled, like that Pod People RtD concept I had. Though of course this loses the appeal of the social gameplay between the players.

Ooh, I support another RTD library. We've had these in the past and I'm not just mentioning this because For Science! was one of the first added to the last one.

No need to support it anymore because it's already been created.
