And then... there were two.

Thanks. I have not looked at the rules yet. I'm sure that will shake some ideas lose for characters. It seems most interesting if we played road warriors of some kind. One thought I had was a guy with a rolling brothel - a big bus with 6 or so berths for ... Activities. There's also a driver and a couple of guards.

Being lawmen of some kind might also be interesting.

That's pretty good idea actually.  If necessary, I'll change the game rating to Adult, but only after we get more players and start the game.

If you decide to go with the Rolling Funhouse tricked out like a post-nuclear  Partridge Family bus, feel free to give me some broad themes about the working girls and other crewmen and I can develop them, unless you want to detail them personally.

There are a lot of factions and groups that I haven't mentioned so as not to give away too much.  Just talk about themes you're interested in and I'll see if it will fit into what I already have.  If not and you guys are really interested in something, I'll create something.

Everyone welcome thegiver!

Nice to meet you all!

Howdy

Welcome aboard, bud!

Good seeing the family getting together.

Ah, basic RP is the generic form of Call of Cthulu. I'm familiar enough with that rule set.

Everyone welcome maxmcgloin!  His concept is a old warrior-sage, abroad in the wasteland.

Weclome. I can dig that. Kung Fu shit right there.

I was wondering if anyone would be down to tell a bit more about themselves. I am always curious as to who I am playing with, where you are from, what your background is. RPGs always have such a diverse spectrum of people and you never know who you are going to meet.

I guess I should go first. My name is Jeff, I am 28 and am from Bakersfield, California. I am currently living in Japan with my wife and teaching out here.

I am Max. I live in the SF Bay Area, so I am also in California. Many years ago I also lived in Asia, and spent a couple years teaching English in Taiwan.

Good idea. It's always easier to collab this way. My name's Hannah, I'm 22 and live in the UK, where I'm currently a jobseeker ( :/ )  who's probably going back to school in some capacity fairly soon. I've been to California once (It was Santa Ana) but never Asia. The most obscure Mel Gibson role I know off the top of my head is that he voiced the colonial love interest guy in Disney's Pocahontas (I'm pretty sure anyways)

I don't know any cool Mel trivia, other than Apocalypto was great.  So many people died in that movie I wasn't sure who it was going to be about.

Name's chris. I live in Texas. Work in advertising. 39 years old. Big fan of mad max (seeing fury road tonight). Also have always loved the post apocalyptic genre. Big gamma world player from back when it was tsr.

Hey my name is Cullen. I'm 23 and right now I'm a business student in Massachusetts. I just marathoned the three older mad max movies before seeing fury road last week. Awesome stuff.

Hey you all.  Name's Kev.

I'm in Illinois.  Never been to California.  40-something years old.
Big fan of the Mad Max movies and most post-apocalyptic stuff if its well done and not utterly dark.  Although some silly low-budget ones are fun as well.

TV's "Jericho" was pretty cool.
Movie "The Road" was good. (I'm hoping we dont go quite that dark though)
The "Book of Eli" could have been better.

I too was playing (mostly GM) "Gamma World" in my high school days.
We tried to play  "Aftermath" but that ruleset was a nightmare of complexity!

Also love the game "Car Wars" playing or GMing.

I have played a lot of Cthulhu so I should know this system ...pretty much?

Welcome Big Kev

In reply to Big Kev (msg # 19):

I played a lot of Aftermath and found it simpler than it appeared. Not that different from brp, just really just took getting used to the system. But I had already played Bushido so it was not that new to me.

Loved Car Wars and played in roleplaying campaigns using the Champions and Gurps systems.
