The Full List
The following section was cut-and-paste lifted from the TRO thread on rpg.net.
Sorry it's very slightly late.
Wow. I had to cut down some of the lists fairly harshly - but here we go.
Choose at least five ingredients total - at least one from each category. And then build a game with them. You've got until the morning of Monday next (the 16th). (The intention is that you've got that Sunday. I doubt judging will happen quickly, given the number of contestants and we've historically been fairly lax on the deadlines.)
Rules constraints
* Ten statistics. (Skills/Attributes/wounds/whatever.) * Multiple Characters per Player. * The game must use colors (as a mechanic). * Players create their own playable race. * Must allow for random character creation. * Characters with changing characteristics. * Mechanics use some form of a draft.
Genre Tropes
Put the three things given into a different genre. (That is, the listed genre is forbidden.)
* Sentai team. (Super Mode, Attack of the Fifty Foot Whatever, Conservation of Ninjutsu) * British Conspiracy Thriller(omnious form of transport, Conspiracy, Public Security) * Pirates (Parrots, Jolly Roger, Safe Port, Swashbuckling) * Noir (Murder Mystery, Dame in Red, Object of Desire) * Superhero (Secret Identities, Flying, Capes) * The Pulp Space Opera set: Cosmic Scale, Individuals Against an Empire, Common Fantastic Technology * The Police Procedural set: Murder Is a Puzzle, Rules/Law Over All, Mostly Methodical with a Touch of Luck
