Ha - I think one of the (high level!) moves I discarded was Corpse Pose: when performed correctly the enemy thinks you are dead, and cannot attack you. This is an actual yoga pose, which is pretty much lying on the ground.


I might use Plank Pose - your allies can walk on you like a bridge or something.

[monk12]

The fact this yoga game was even conceptualized, let alone pursued to the point it has skill trees and plot, makes me incredibly happy. How can people say the world is a bad place when things like this can happen?

Chemoelectrical signals send down from the brain(which is just a big heap of these things) towards the vocal cords, which then vibrates the air, forming things otherwise known as sounds.

On a side note. Answering this rethorical Question makes me think of a Rethorics RTD. In the sense of, what if the Roman Senate went to the CIrcus.

[lawastooshort]

Crap - totally forgot I totally HAD used Plank Pose already. Oh and I hadn't discarded Corpse Pose. Pretty advanced lying down manoeuvres, both of them.

Spoiler: General Yoga Moves (click to show/hide)

Red Belt Moves:
- Head Stand – This kick-based melee attack adds +2 to the damage location roll, increasing the chances of hitting the enemy’s head. Takes one YMP.
Yellow Belt Moves:
- Revolved Side Angle Pose – Filling your fists with Yogic Power, you can add one YMP to your melee attack to receive a bonus of +1 to hit. Sometimes known as the Yogic Slap. It looks like a slap.
Pink Belt Moves:
- Plank Pose – You assume Plank Pose, which makes it quite difficult for the enemy to bend down and hit you. You gain +1 to defence. Takes two YMP.
Green Belt Moves:
- Yogic Flight – You can levitate: for each YMP you spend you can levitate one times your own body length.
- Bridge Pose – This Pose calms the brain and staunches the flow of blood. Prevents further HP loss from d6 wounds. Takes three YMP.
 Purple Belt Moves:
- Yogic Mana Drain – You sit down and concentrate really hard on your enemy. Roll d6, and add your total Yogic Mana. The enemy does the same. The loser loses all their available Yogic Mana Points. Takes three YMP.
- Corpse Pose – The ultimate Yoga defence move. The enemy thinks you are dead and cannot attack. Takes one YMP to initiate.
Orange Belt Moves:
- Yogic Mind Duel – You sit down and concentrate really hard on your enemy. Roll d6, and add your total Yogic Mana. The enemy does the same. The difference multiplied by your total Yogic Mana is the amount of HP the loser loses. A powerful technique, this can go seriously wrong if you roll a 1. Takes three YMP.
Blue Belt Moves:
- Yogic Strangulation – You throttle the enemy, draining 1d6x5 HP and gaining 1d6 of their available Yogic Mana. Takes five YMP.
- One Legged King Pigeon Pose II – Demonstrating true mastery of Yoga, you get a free counter attack for every enemy that attacks you. Needs one YMP per counter attack.

Do you mean Marcus Aurelius vs a lion?

[Digital Hellhound]

I don't think the Pimperor knows any other ways to fight than... y'know. It could get nasty.

[lawastooshort]

...than... calling up his harem to defeat the lion while he relaxes in a jacuzzi puffing on a fat cigar?

[BlasterKyubey210]

I have an RTD idea from playing too mucn iOS gaming:

Super Smash Brothers: Legend of the Infinity Blade (to be honest, dunno how the Japanese would title this one, if it were an anime)

• Summery: The group from Super Smash Brothers Melee and Brawl are back for more trouble as usual, as despite the defeat of Tabuu, evil is still running around the World. Some of the surviving Subspace Army soldiers have found each other to form the Neo-Subspace Army, and with it, a charismatic being known only as "The God-King" leads this new army, begining a new Legend: The Legend of the Infinity Blade
• Party Size: Starts at 4 though the cap will be raised to 8 after the first few battles
• Character constraints: Any charcter that has appeared in Super Smash Brothers, option to request for Original Characters and non-Smashers will be there.
• Wound system: Damage Ratio, but Only War-style Critical Wound rules will be enforced: Characters die if sent flying out of the "Arena" but also if they take too many injuries (enough to cause a Death result)

You're way to good at taking an idea and running away with it.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I wanna do a zombie apocalypse game, but I don't. I know I won't follow through.

Anyway, I figure that instead of a waitlist, a game could be run like this:

A group of six survivors somehow meet, they're already decked out in gear, yay, whatever. You have some longterm goal, probably make it a long long way to search for a cure, and like, one of your members is chosen to be the "this person must not die or game over." Waitlist members become other survivors that come up in events, like bandit raiders, part of a colony, what-have-you.

I'm basing the idea off of a series of books, and the general desire to run it from the Walking Dead. The books have like, the Morningstar virus.

Hmmm. It's an RtD, but the "must survive character" can not die from their own bad rolls. Sure, they can get into really bad positions by it, but not directly- if everyone rolls 5s and they're rolling 1s, they should live.

I know I'd be unable to run it, but if other people would be willing I could help with overarching plot and events, the "events" whenever I have free time. The plot is generally you keep the science person alive, get them to the military version of the CDC (the really long-named one) USAMRIID lab, and fight zombies and survive and have drama and all that good stuff along the way.

Hey! I kinda started a bit of a Smash Bros. RTD, but I couldn't get past the PM section of turns. It started with a tournament of 3 players per game. At the end, there would be a Waitlist 8 people long, and 4 main players to go through a SubSpace-like mission system. It's still somewhere in the mess, maybe you could just take it over? For now even, just so I can get my ideas back for it.

Mmm, much as I'd want to, I was thinking of starting over from the top, not for any particular reason, just it'd be "weird".

I was planning to discuss the Regiment generation system, though I am willing to fudge some of the fluff and implications of some of the Regiment system found in Only War (the latest WH40K book) to avoid some "funny business". The choice 2 for non-Smashers is to do things Deathwatch-style (though fudging the rules a little to reflect the later rules), though I may be willing to fudge some of the Chapters.

Yes I am willing to experiment so... anyone up to become Smashers, Guardsmen or Space Marines? YOu can also request characters not in Smash Brothers to become Smashers as well... and yes Loyalists only so...

[Nicholas1024]

Alright, random RTD idea I haven't been able to get out of my head. I'm too busy to run it, but maybe one of you guys will find it interesting.

Spoiler: Roll to Resist (click to show/hide)

You were once just a happy (human/elf/dwarf/etc) in your local village, plying your chosen trade, and generally living a simple, yet good life. Sadly, it was not to last.

One night, while (taking a stroll/collecting rare night-time herbs/consuming six too many barrels of booze/etc), a couple of unsavory rogues crept up on you from behind. After a brief, violent, and unnecessarily painful (for you) scuffle, you were knocked out, and taken to who knows where.

When you awoke, the first thing you noticed was a pounding headache. The second thing you noticed was that you couldn't move your limbs, them being strapped to a wall via metal bands. The third thing you noticed was an intricate set of magical runes surrounding yourself on the wall. And the fourth and final thing that caught your eye was (Insert # of players here - 1) other people similarly bound to the wall, apparently in the same predicament as yourself.

After perhaps an hour of rather strained small talk and pointless guessing ("What ho, old chap, nice day to be bound to a wall in some unknown, probably magical prison, eh?"), an ancient wizard walks in.

"They called me deranged... but no, I'll show them. I'LL SHOW THEM.", he yells to nothing in particular.

Oh dear.

He takes out a number of small capsules made of some metal you can't identify. Each of them seems to contain something different, judging by the various sounds they make (or don't make) as he fumbles with them. After a couple of mishaps where a dropped capsule rolls across the floor, he's finally set up one of the capsules in front of each of you.

By this point your thoughts are somewhere between "Oh no", and "Get on with it already!".

The next thing he does is produce a pouchful of dust, which he uses to draw what you presume is a circle, which he stands in the center of. In reality it looks more like an egg that a drunkard smashed and then attempted to put back together by hand, but you decide not to point that fact out.

Finally, he produces what is most likely a spellbook, and begins chanting a ritual while holding up a crystal of some sort. Magical energy streams out from the crystal, shimmering through the capsules, and into yourself and the other prisoners (one beam per capsule/prisoner combo.) You feel an sharp pain in your chest, as the chanting and energy intensifies.

The wizard continues his mad spell, as the light intensifies to be almost blinding. At this point you feel that death would be a welcome relief. However, the wizard stumbles over a word, before stopping in horror.

"NO! NOT NOW! I'M SO CLOSE!", he yells, as the light suddenly moves in reverse, back from yourself, through the capsules and into the crystal. The crystal begins to glow, first a dull red, then yellow, and then proceeding to become white hot, the wizard dropping it to the ground in pain.

Finally, it explodes.

The resulting inferno is confined to the space within the wizard's circle-approximation, and leaves nothing but vaguely magical ash behind.

The bonds constraining yourself and the others all snap, apparently undone by the wizard's death. You breathe a sigh of relief... and apprehension.

Sure, you were apparently free. But still, you had no idea where on earth you were, whether there were any other guards or such in this place, or what the after-effects from that botched magical ritual might be.

Still, you had a feeling that it was that last one that might be the biggest problem...

I suppose I could expand on the idea if someone else is interested in running it (or just hearing more about the idea), but my schedule is too full for me to commit to running an RTD myself.

[BlasterKyubey210]

Mmm, I'll make a set-up, but not sure how good should the non-Nintendo characters be compaired ot their Smasher companions...

I'll host this @ IRC with a specalised Dicebot

So I'm reworking the system for Space Pirate RTD, and here is what I've got for the ships rework.

Spoiler: Ship Breakdown (click to show/hide)

Turret Mount: Turret mounts are needed to add Point Defense Turrets, Flak Turrets, Laser Batteries, and other small weapons to your ships. For each one of these you have on your ship your ship can have one more point of Turret Class weapons (Weapon Classes are explained elsewhere).

Battery Mounts: Battery mounts are needed for the heavier anti-capital ship weapons most warships are equipped with. Each Battery mount allows the ship to have one battery installed into it, batteries are things like Plasma Batteries, Lances, and the like.

Missile Tubes: Missile Tubes are needed to launch missile and other missile type ordnance a starship may use. For every missile tube a ship has it an launch one missile from the tube (may vary due to missile type, and launch time.)

Special Weapons: Special weapons are things that don't use any of the above, but instead need to be specially installed into the superstructure of a ship or the like. Examples of these are Railguns, Plasma Launchers, and Mining Lasers.

Armor Rating: Armor Rating is the first (in some cases second) layer of hit-points a ship has, this can very greatly depending on the type of plating a ship has, ship's classification, etc. This takes damage first and prevents crits damage any of the internal systems (for the most part), and protects the inside from the horrors of the void of space.

Structural Rating: Structural Rating is the second (some cases third) layer of hit-points a ship has which is determined by the ships classification and any modifications or specialties a ship may have. When this takes damage your internal systems can be damaged and with crits vital systems like the warp drive, life support, or reactor core could take damage.

Shield Value: Shield Value is the amount of shields a vessel has, which may be rare but when a ship does have them it acts as a first layer of hp for the most part. Shields are unique in that they regen unlike AR or SR thus making them invaluable when outnumbered or outgunned.

Regen Rate: Regen Rate is the rate at which your shield's SV regens, this determines the number of SV you regain per turn in addition to remaining amount from the previous amount. If your SV is full it will not surpass that amount and simply stop refilling.

Cargo Space: This is the amount (in my favorite generic value UNITS) that a ship can carry in components and supplies like scrap metal, computers, electronic parts, etc. The more cargo bays your ship has the higher its max Cargo Space will be thus the more it will be able to hold and transport to where you want it.

Ship Capacity: This is the amount of fighters, shuttles, mining vessels, etc. that a ship can carry. Each Launch Bay increases the number of the max points by a certain amount, and you can have a number of ships on-board up to that amount, you cannot go above that amount.

Spoiler: Weapon Classes (click to show/hide)

Turret Class Weapons These are weapons that require turret mounts to be equipped to your ship.

Point Defense: Point Defense weapons (referred to as PD from now on) are basically anti-fighter and anti-missile weapons capable of keeping up with the fast speed of those two objects and being able to make contact (hopefully) with said object to neutralize the threat it may cause. PD weapons can only harm fighter type enemies and missile type weapons, they also have extremely high fire rates due to the difficulty of hitting such targets.

Cannons/Laser Batteries: These type of Turret Class Weapons are made for anti-ship purposes and will generally take up multiple turret mounts because of that fact. Unlike PD weapons this type cannot target fighters or missiles but they can instead target the larger ships like escorts and such. Many of these weapons have single fire rates due to their power and the type of munitions they use


Battery Class Weapons These are the main anti-capital ship weapons your ships will wield.

Normal Batteries: These are things like the plasma batteries, or some of the heavier laser batteries. These deal very high damage to armor but are near useless against shields due to the nature of these weapons, they also have moderate to very low fire rates depending on how powerful the weapon is. These will also be had in much lesser numbers then the Turret Class weapons.

Lances: Lances are powerful weapons to be feared by any ship, capable of cutting through shields like butter these weapons are pinpoint high power weapons, but lose a lot of power over a distance or when breaching through the shields of a ship. These weapons are highly rare as they are not manufactured by any empire, nation, etc. but are instead relics of ancient races.

Missiles
Interceptor Class Missiles: Interceptors are made for what their name implies, to intercept a target, they are mainly anti fighter weapons, but some are made to be anti-missile as well. They are launched quickly, and are highly agile allowing them to hit and destroy their targets, but have nearly no effect against larger targets like capital ships.

Warhead Class Missiles: Warheads are high payload missiles made specifically for dealing large damage to capital ships and the like. Tending to be slightly slower to launch Warheads are also easier to be hit by Interceptors or PD fire, but should they hit the damage could be catastrophic. Some Warheads that are nuclear payloads are made for killing space stations of installations thus they earned the name 'station busters'.

Buoy Class Missiles: These missiles vary and have extremely different effects from throwing off missile targeting systems to hitting fighters with EMP pulses. These are easy and quick to launch, but just as easy to destroy should your foes think to do so.

Special Weapons: ~ SECRET ~

Spoiler: Combat Rules (click to show/hide)

Accuracy:
1-6: Miss
7-10: Glancing Hit
11-17: Direct Hit
18-20: Critical Hit [Roll for Critical]

AR Crit Chart:
1-20: No Effect
21-25: Turret Mount Damage (Disables a weapon)
26-30: 1d6 Turret Mount Damage (Disables 1d6 Weapons)
31-40: Battery Mount Damage (Disables a weapon)
41-50: Thruster/Engine Damage (+1 to enemy Accuracy Rolls when targeting you, add 1 more with each additional hit here)
51-55: Bridge Hit (Roll 1d10; 1-8 is fine. 9-10 causes you to skip next turn
56-100: No Effect

SR Crit Chart:
To be Determined

Interceptors can only target fighter-type ships, and missile-type objects. PD get a -1 to hitting these agile weapons, the missiles themselves get a +1 to hitting their target.

Warheads can only hit capital ships and the like, PD get a +1 to hitting them due to their slowness.

Point Defense has no effect against larger ships, but can harm fighter-type ships and missile-type objects with their full damage rating.

Batteries can only target capital ships and the like, they get +1 to hitting such large targets.

Lances ignore shields and deal damage directly to the AR or SR, all crits with these weapons are pumped up one type on the chart due to how weak they are once they hit the ship.

Any criticisms or problems you guys see in that?

[10ebbor10]

Asides from a few typos, not much. It just seems that you might have to do a lot of rolls each battle. Also, I don't understand the lance's special effect.

all crits with these weapons are pumped up one type on the chart due to how weak they are once they hit the ship.

Third, how about something that allows player to bypass AR and hit SR directly. A critical hit could do it, or maybe a special warheard. (Both delivering minor damage to armor, and some the SR.)

Oh, and here's a silly idea I've thought out. A time travelling deatmatch.

In the first round, the players control their characters as to be expected in a normal deatmatch. Once all but one players are eliminated, the timetravelling effect activates, and the game restarts. The previous versions of the players will still carry out the actions of the previous run, and the player now has an extra character to mess with things. When something happens that prevents that prevents a character from doing the action he was supposed to do, the link shatters, preventing him from acting that turn but granting the player control over him from the next turn onwards.
