Re: Game Proposals/Interest Checks
A few times in the past I've run a game that's basically "real world gamers start sliding through fictional realities." I've run it in real life, and I've run it here on RPoL, once for a little over a year. I've got a slightly new take on it I'd like to try out.
This time there's more metaplot. There's a stronger reason "why" the players are jumping from reality to reality, and their skill as gamers matters a little more, though the focus remains on ordinary people growing into adventurers.
I'd like to start with a higher point value this time - 75 points (Exceptional) instead of my usual 25-50 (average to above average). Players are still ill-suited to "adventuring" but that gives them a few more points for advantages and higher attributes (meaning higher defaults).
I'll also allow players to take "Secret Advantages" for traits that don't exist (or wouldn't have been encountered) on mundane Earth (magery, magic resistance, weapon master, gadgeteer, gunslinger, Talents). Of course, you won't learn what they are until you discover them, and you don't get to pick, but it'll be something useful.
I'd like to run this in GURPS, but if I can't get enough interest here, I can retool it for Fate. You guys are my go-to favorite players, though, so I thought I'd give you first dibs.
Looking for 3-5 interested players.
