Thanks for the heads up :)

Sad to see Days of Infamy go.

I would be glad to take it over and maintain it as one of my games for sentimental reasons.

I’m sad to see it go, also.
But I’d not be interested in continuing this game without Dale.
If someone wants to run their own game, I’d consider a new character (and also whether I even have the time to play).

Wasn't really thinking about running it, just keeping it for posterity.

I too would be interested in playing in a VnV game.

If people want me to "un-delete" the game so it can serve as an archive, I can do that.

I would love to pick it back up again, but the way my life's been, I can't say when that would be.  And I don't want to be so sporadic.  It stresses me out and feels shitty. ;)

I'm ready for a new game, and I'm cool w/our game being deleted altho it was sudden.

PEACE

I copied The Bowler already. To be truthful, as soon as I see a chance (in ANY game) to use the character again, I will. It has become one of my favorites.

Being there as an archive would be great.

Just dropping a line here to see who all is still knocking about.....I have been on an extended hiatus from running or playing in any online games but I still think about all of you who I have played with. So I guess I am checking in to see who is around and how people are doing. :)

I'm still here. Trying to play/GM, but not doing well with either as the ravages of time force me to go to bed earlier in order to get the same amount of sleep.

Playing other games at the moment. Miss VnV.

I miss it as well!

Still around, also.
Gotta say, I miss the genre, and the fun roleplaying ... but not the system itself.

I miss playing with you guys.

Not running any games at the mo.  Playing in a few.  D&D 5E mostly.

Also, running a tabletop D&D game for my teenagers every week, unexpectedly.  My daughter's boyfriend wanted to try it, and the next thing you know I had a campaign. I thought it would be a one-shot...

Out of curiosity what superhero system do you prefer? Have you looked at the newest V&V?

I'll be honest; every now and then I look at the game and have a thought of resuming where we all left off....then realize it has been almost 2 years since any game posts were done.

we can make it work :)

I think if you restated the game, you’d find renewed interest from the players.
Haitius time sometimes kills a game, it is true ... some sometimes (on an ‘a Sense makes the heart grow fonder’ theory) it can have given those involved a refreshing break.


As for other games, I’ve played billions ... and dozens of Superhero genre games ... in the last 30 years.
I gravitate (when playing or running) towards simple, rules-life systems.  Anything with formulas within the gameplay or character generation process fall into the ‘complex’ catagory.

I really love Danger Patrol; an free, independant game.   And anything ‘Driven by the Apocolypse’.   PnP isn’t to bad, nor is Abharrent.
And I’ve come to appreciate the cinematic/narrative feel of Marvel Heroics ... although it is rules heavy also.

I've enjoyed both Icons and Prowlers and Paragons, honestly.

V&V is great, but it can bog down during combat.  I remember it was a lot, running fights in my campaign.

Ooooh, I remember you guys!  Hi!  It's been like, what... two whole weeks?

I love character creation in V&V - there really was something very special about it that I haven't seen another game really manage.  Usually being completely random like that is kind of annoying, and in V&V it totally worked.  I guess by choosing which tables to roll on, you get enough control?  I don't know.  I think that's why I kept trying to work out a character idea that would let me sort of... keep doing that.  Miracle and Princess Airhead were pretty good for that, but in hindsight, I think the idea just doesn't really work in the game.  It ends up being a lot more work than it's probably actually worth.

Actually playing V&V...yeah, it probably worked better tabletop, but the initiative system alone was seriously trouble here.


That's pretty awesome!  Always good to pull new people in!

..Well, maybe not always, but like, generally.

Wow. I suddenly grok Princess Airhead.
I've done a few other systems. Right now I'm trying to run two different systems on games here. One is Heroes Unlimited and the other is Hero System. I'm running 'Crisis at Crusader Citadel' in both of them.
Frankly, I'm not very good at it. No control over the momentum and prone to suddenly going quiet for a week. It reminds me of the absent minded waiter, "oh, I'm sorry, I just went to the Bahamas for a second there."

I feel you.  I had too much going on in RL to run a game any longer.  The lags were annoying everyone and I basically apologized every time I posted for it being so long since the last time I'd posted...

I picked up Icons but have not really had a chance to play it. The game on here died out early.

Still check in periodically.

Haven't done much online play lately.  I was in a Supers! Revised game briefly, before the GM flaked and stopped posting without any explanation (she apparently has time to start up some new games, though...).

In reply to Tesla (msg # 195):

I think I might have been in that game to :(

Put a post in Players Wanted, VnV game could take more players. Jump in!
