So with almost 30 views and 0 replies I'm going to assume this isn't going to take off. Which I get, mainstream movies aren't the focus here and it would be nearly impossible to do this with more underground films.

mainstream movies aren't the focus here

That's my issue. I don't know much about current mainstream movies or who's popular at the box office.

I'm down for any and all games but I'm dense and don't quite understand what this is about.

Also it seems markus and his music draft beat you to the punch and I don't think everyone would be down for 2 games like this at the same time. Maybe afterwards?

Ditto.

I think I'm actually just going to try running a "Roll to Dodge" game. It's like a game of dungeoun and dragons that requires like no effort. I like forum RPGs and used to play Mafia, RAF, RTD and other quite often.

RTD (Roll to Dodge):

Sign-Up/Set-Up Phase:
1. The Master (or Host) picks a senerio and writes an introduction story to set the mood.
2. Players sign in by posting "/in" in the sign up thread (typically 4-6 players is best, the exact number is set by the Master, sometimes Masters have extra players in a "queue" to replace others that quit or "die" in game)
3. Each player then writes a short backstory for their character and posts it to thread (you can typically pick whatever you want: abilities, intelect, etc..., but keep in mind it is more fun when you stick to the theme)
4. The Master then writes an intro that introduces all of the players to the set up scenerio

Day Phase:
1. The Master will set a time line for action submitions (typically 1 week again this game is not very demanding)
2. Each "day" (period set by master) each player will submit an action. This can be as simple as "do nothing" or more creative like "set a fire and pee it out"
3. Actions are posted publicly in the thread and can be changed up until the deadline. Players are encouraged to talk in thread and try to work together to solve issues and problems thrown at them by the master.
4. One the deadline is set reached the Master will ask players to stop posting or lock the thread and then we enter the processing phase.

Processing Phase:
1. This phase is very easy for the players, you do nothing.
2. The Master will take 1-3 days (prespecified) to do the following 2 things
3. First the Master will roll a 6 sided die (once for each player). Based on the outcome of the roll the action will have one of the following type of outcome

#1: Epic Failure - The player failed in their action so bad something bad happened
#2: Small Failure - The player failed but nothing really happened
#3: Small Sucess - The player suceeded, but nothing valuable was achieved
#4: Large Sucess - The player suceeded and achieved what they wanted
#5: Epic Sucess - The player suceeded in the best way possible
#6: Overshot Sucess - The player suceeded so much that the action backfired

4. Then, once the dice have been rolled, the Master with then write a scene that ties all of the actions and their results together and also introduces new elements for the next "Day Phase"

Ending Phase:
The game can end in 1 of 4 scenerios
1. Everyone dies (This happens when everyone dies and the Master has chosen to not have or is out of alternates in their "queue")
2. World is destroyed (Similar to everyone dying, but regaurdless or players and alternates the game ends)
3. Mission accomplished (Sometimes Masters will theme the game like a quest and when you win, well you win)
4. Game has hit a point that everyone agrees has taken to long, at this point a vote is held and if the majority want it to end the Master sets a number of days that are remaining and once tey are done the game ends.



Example game

Example Set-Up (Typically much much longer and more detailed and would include a second intro paragraph introducing the players to the set up and each other)

Intro:
Lost in the woods a group of characters find themselves having to rely on something they have never before had to... themselves.


Player 1: Hippie who has just been hanging in the woods for decades
Player 2: Teenager that is really dumb.
Player 3: Tough guy named Brock, never met a weight he couldn't lift


Day 1
Player 1 Action: Smoke a joint
Player 2 Action: Look for sticks
Player 3 Action: Start fire to stay warm

Day 1 Processing
Player 1 Result: 3
Player 2 Result: 5
Player 3 Result: 6


As the night winds down the three strangers all decide to split up, with no more than a simple "hi I'm Brock" the three all decided to do there own thing. Player 1, a hippie named flower-chi (her parents passed out high before finishing flower-child on her birth certificate) decides she wants to get high. FC lights up a joint and passes out before anyone get a chance to get to know her. With the hippie passed out the dumb teenager realized that he's not going to get any of her drugs so he does the only thing his mom ever told him to do when they were camping, go and look for some sticks. Brock was already ranting about wanting a fire so why not. The teenager goes off alone, into the woods to search. While looking for sticks the teenagers trips over a box and finds nothing less than a crate full of sticks of dynomite. The teenager picks up the crate and heads back into camp, when he arrives back he seeing a giant fire roaring, man Brock made a nice fire. But upon firther inspection the teenager sees that the reason the fire is so big is because Brock had caught fire him self and fallen into the fire pit.

Brock is now dead and the camp now has a crate of dynomite is is now day 2, players have 7 days to sumbit their next actions






Notes
I through this together fast. Normally the stories will be better an more intreiging this is just designed to give youo an idea of how the game works. Again it take almost no effort on the players part unless they want it to. I'd love you guy's thoughts.
