lol, probably not an extended campaign game, but might be fun for a short one!

Unless you had the chance to escape to a planet below (that may also be infected!).

In reply to BlueDwarf (msg # 14):

That would be up to the group to decide. I would see the story line going, Ship docks with station automaticlay because crew is in cryo sleep, They are the station's replacment senior staff for a shift cycle, This would allow for a broad make up of skills and play styles.

They crew off loads and finds the station empty or seemingly empty. Then Crap hits the fan the crew has to figure out how to escape because the automated ship that just brought them here has already left. And then we would see where the group go and what to do.

Add in some pirates, some criminal element on the station, plus zombies. crap could go down hill fast.

Sounds interesting...

Would anyone be interested in a martial arts Wuxia game? players would be a group of people teleported to another world that is video game like, with classes and leveling.

In reply to Zoncxs (msg # 17):

I would that would sound fun!

I'm looking at creating a 4e game set in the 1930s, based around exploring strange and wonderful places in the world - mysterious pyramids, the Paris Catacombs, Long Forgotten Inca Temples^TM, etc. Before I do so I'd like to see if there's any interest in the Community, however. A few more (admittedly tentative) details:

Characters would be created using 90 points.
Maximum 45 Disadvantages.
No magic, psi, etc.
Tech Level 6 (world-wide anyway; individual locations would be lower, sometimes significantly so)
Realistic(ish) setting (I make no guarantees that it will always remain so... I enjoy bad found footage movies ;)

Requirements would probably include Duty (to a small-P patron)

Suggested (Dis)Advantages would include additional Languages, Patron (the small-P patron), and Language Talent would probably prove handy

Finally, and most potentially troublesome, my schedule isn't always the easiest (and I spend a lot of time in countries where the internet isn't always up). So posting wouldn't always be perfectly regular.

Is there any interest in this game?

I dig it.

In reply to Big Brother (msg # 19):

Sure, that sounds fun but I would prefer a few more CP.

How many?

90 is good. 100 or 150 would also be good.

Maybe 150. I guess I like more cinematic.  I am playing a Coc game now and like to spread out points in different abilities. Guess it depends on if we are doing a lot of fighting versus problem solving and such. I prefer RP.

In reply to Big Brother (msg # 19):

I would be interested...

The premise sounds intriguing.  Would you expect seasoned PCs or neophytes?  What kind of feel are you going for?  It sounds like the focus would be more on exploration and discovery.  What do you see as some of the influences?  (Indiana Jones?  League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?  Lovecraft?  Agatha Christie?)  How much combat would there be?

Witchy, I could be talked up to 100, but I'm specifically trying to avoid Cinematic. :/ (Certainly to begin with, anyway.)



Seasoned is probably more accurate, in the sense that they're people who've Lived - whether that be through the War or just through the early years of the Depression. However, just because they're seasoned doesn't mean they're seasoned appropriately; "I survived the War in Europe" doesn't equate to "I know how to survive in the Himalayas," for example. That'll take experience.



I'm definitely looking at an exploration focus. I'm most influenced by those movies I mentioned earlier - As Above, So Below, The Pyramid, Troll Hunter (a Norwegian film), even Quarantine - but also pretty heavily by Indiana Jones (I mean seriously, how can I not rely on Indy? :)

There wouldn't be much League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (although some, possibly; it would be entirely accidental, because my familiarity is limited to the movie). Agatha Christie... some, potentially, but not likely very much, and it would be limited predominantly to the travel periods (Murder on the Orient Express-style).



That... is a good question. On the one hand, combat's awesome. On the other hand, RPOL doesn't exactly lend itself to combat sequences, and my potentially weird posting schedule wouldn't help a lot. So would there be combat? Yes. But it probably wouldn't be a lot of combat for entirely OOC reasons. Barring, of course, PC intervention.

In reply to Big Brother (msg # 27):

I am fine with that.

Is this game going to come to fruition, Big Brother?

I think it will, yes, though it definitely won't be before the end of the week since I'm currently on vacation. ;)

No Problems there... I'm ready when you are.

   Just saw this, and I have to admit, the exploration portion of things works for me. The 1930's setting could be interesting - those of you who might remember "Tales of the Gold Monkey" certainly would understand where I'm coming from. And Big Brother's right on one thing - how can you *not* be influenced by Dr. Jones?  :)

   I'd be tempted to put my hat in the ring for something like this - I've got a character concept in mind, just would have to take some time and flesh him out, first. Looking forward to hearing more about this.

Cheers!

Good deal. In that case I'll try to get something together ASAP. It will definitely be next week at the earliest. Ah, viva la Mexico.

In reply to Big Brother (msg # 33):

Sounds good!

In reply to Big Brother (msg # 33):

   Enjoy Mexico, then.  We'll see you when you get back...

Pfft. I wont be back for a month. I just need a place where the internet is closer than "downstairs, turn at the corner, then another corner... see that stop sign two miles down? Yeah, the nearest place to catch a bus to town is a mile past that, then you'll have to get on a plane and..." ;) Well, maybe it's not quite that bad, but when you're as lazy as I am it can feel like it. ;)

Anyway, I've put the game together and here's a link to it: link to another game

I'm not opening it to the general public as yet, half because I'd like comments from you, the peanut gallery, and half because I don't plan on doing that until tomorrow or Sunday. Nonetheless, please feel free to RTJ if you're interested. Not sure how many PCs I'm accepting at the moment.

Hey all,

I've been running a game for over a year now and it seems that while the group is stuck on an island for now I have a whole world to explore. Right now I have four reliable players and eventually I want to end up with a dozen PCs and a Co-gm.

Once the current threat is eliminated I plan on letting the players explore the world. Gather resources and try to figure out why the world they are on is currently plagued by Banestorms and is having beings from across space and time dropped onto the world.

I'm working on figuring out where and how far to take this.



link to another game

I've proposed a horror western game over in Game Proposals link to a message in another game - GURPS is one of the systems I'd consider running it in.

If you're interested, head on over and advocate for the system. If I get enough players interested in GURPS, it'll be GURPS.
