Re: Looking For Players

I am looking for one player for a Fallout HERO game.

In an attempt to preserve the vault society from rapidly diminishing resources and harware failures, Four shifts were created, three shifts would sleep in hibernation, one shift would be active.

ZAX computed the divison of Vault population based on a number of parameters, education, age, social standing, family structure.

Now you have been brought out of suspended animation to find the Vault in ditre need.

Told to find replacement T.H.O.R.N. chips, it appears you are to leave the Vault in order to save it.

link to another game

This game uses the HERO system 6th ed. Characters start at 100 points., 70 base with 30 points of Complications.

Traits from the original Fallout will be available.

Re: Looking For Players

Hello people! Old and returning Hero player and GM. I have The Basic Hero (6th ed) rulebook, and pdfs of both full volumes of Hero 6th edition rules. Looking to play some Hero system games. I am planning to do a Hero system 6th edition Champions game on rpol if there is any interest... but it will be a while before I am ready to GM  and run a game ... just in the ideas/brainstorming stage now.

Re: Looking For Players

I only have the 5th edition, but I'd still be interested, depending on the setting and the nature of the campaign.

Re: Looking For Players

I look forward to there being a champions or other hero system game. So far I haven't had much luck in them lasting much beyond character creation

Re: Looking For Players

My last one got into the game, but I ran into problems with work and having too many players.

Re: Looking For Players

To many players can be much worse than not enough, I can remember game mastering a few sessions where I had 7 or 8 players. I prefer a smaller group of maybe 3 to 5 players, and I will maybe throw an npc into the player's group if they need help.

Re: Looking For Players

My typical stance is to only take 3-5 players, and never give them NPC help.  If they need that, then I should have an additional player to start with.  Usually, I just scale down to the group.

In that particular game there were at one point almost 15 players.  But I think if not for work I could have eventually managed all of them, being play-by-post.

However, with that being said, I think I'll open up a small 6e supers game.

Re: Looking For Players

15 players! Wow I am impressed, my brain would explode if I tried that I think.

Re: Looking For Players

Any games out there still needing players? Preferably a Supers style game, though I'm mainly trying to find a HERO system game so I can get to know the system better.

Re: Looking For Players

I got into a 5th ed hero champions game, just starting up on rpol, I will ask the gm if he wants/needs more players. If you are interested Look in the Players wanted thread for the game marked; "In an Infinite Universe (Hero 5th)"

Re: Looking For Players

After my concept got totally trashed and most of the powers denied/torn apart or extra costs added to them because he doesn't like time manipulation. I am not interested in that game.

I might do a different character for another game but the fact taht I could have taken a magic theme or alien race theme and gotten same powers but without the hassle (he doesn't like the special effect) means I won't be in that game.

Re: Looking For Players

He told me he didn't want to even deal with me in discussing my character concept, so I won't be playing in that game. I don't want to play in a game where the GM says 'I'm denying the character outright cause I don't have time to deal with it' and then posts on the Looking For Players forum again saying "I need more players."

Re: Looking For Players

Sorry to here that people. I can assure you that once I am ready to GM A Champions game again, I won't be treating players like that. (Even potential players, because well, that's not the way I do things.)

Re: Looking For Players

Hopefully you'll be ready to run one soon :P I've only just started looking at it and trying to figure it out, but of course, the best way to learn a system is to play it.

Re: Looking For Players

I saw that one, but it is a little low-powered for my tastes.

Re: Looking For Players

Yeah, 150 pts with 150 disads is a bit harsh. Basically 50 pts more in disads (with corresponding powers) than the low/weaker super hero campaign (150 powers, 100 disads). Corporate sponsored team is obviously not going for cream of the crop and being very picky.

Someone whose parents weren't loyal to England were disqualified by their parent's view even if it isn't necessarily their own. It was adding a complication/issue in her background. (Her parents protested and marched for Irish freedom from England though they weren't terrorists)

I'll see how it goes... I don't know how long I'll last as a player.

Re: Looking For Players

Yeah, I think I've decided that I'm not such a good player either.  Though, at the Encounters session last night I had a table full of less experienced players frightened of my...creativeness in dealing with things.

But, alas, I'm more comfortable behind the screen.  But it seems as I grow older the fountain of ideas in my head dries up. :(

Re: Looking For Players

I'm considering running a fairly generic 4th ed game.

No real special plot twists (at least at the start). Bunch of heroes in a team take on various kinds of villainy.

Standard 100+150 game. Bronze age feel.

Any interest out there?

Re: Looking For Players

I would be but I only have 5th edition so 4th edition would be hard to make characters.

Re: Looking For Players

I might be interested, but do not know if I can find my  4th ed stuff.
