Set up a thread for myself that will contain villain, hero, and misc. NPC stats. Should be very quick to generate the needed villains to address the enemies of the PCs who have that disadvantage. Quick system, I do love that....Need some Nazis? Make them mooks or henchmen as needed....easy-peasy.

so are we going to name our team from the outset or shall we wait and see if the news papers name us something after they report our daring dos

Just to let you all know I'm on holiday for the next two weeks but will have my smart phone with me so I should still be able to post....though it might not be as quick as usual.

also if we start the game I will not be able to use colour on for things my character says as my phone hates that facility on Rpol. so apologies now if my posts are just black text until I get back

Just to say if you really DO want to use colored text you can just manually format it yourself. Typing in <r e d>Text desired</r e d> will get you the color you want (just remove the spaces).

So in looking at WW2 timelines for 1940 I am going to start the game on August 1, 1940, well into the Battle of Britain but just before The Blitz. The addition of stolen tech and both powered and device-powered supers to the mix I figure will make some changes in what happened in our reality. I hope to make it interesting.

Sounds like fun :)

I can't wait to throat punch some Nazi's.

What's the word on our start?

Well I am curious to see how everyone ended up gathered together. As I am basing this in England Red Dragon has an easy in as does Dr. Jetsetter. Others are a bit more unusual in where they came from or how they came about. I could just handwave everyone together if people prefer and don't want to figure out how those outside of the UK ended up in a meta-division of the British Commandos overseen by the MI6 section of the Secret Intelligence Service. :)

I could have easily saved some allies of some description in the China/Japan theatre and have been sent over, despite many people's misgivings about having a Jap super in the area. I hadn't really thought about it lol

Greece defends against an Italian invasion from Albania. I'd see Lydia's origin tying in with the discovery of Hippolyta's Belt. The Belt permanently endows her with the strength and fortitude of the Amazons. Hippolyta's spirit warns her that, like Hercules invading Themyscira, the Italians will strike again with nefarious allies from the West. Fury's brother and mother died in the invasion, and she'll avenge them with the blood of every last Axis soldier!

Both of these look very good to me. Chen, that situation would have been an easy place for you to defect from Japan and prove yourself to the Allies.

cool, random brainstorm and it worked. Would even make sense to say he changed his name to a Chinese name to fit in better or something like that.

Good point, especially with those white folks having a hard time differentiating between Chinese and Japanese anyhow.

clever Asians. lol

So I have a PM out to Jill's player to see if they are still with us. Flamethrower is the GM of a r/l game I am in so if he doesn't chime in before Friday I can gently remind him...lol. Red Dragon is away but said he could post and Dr. Jetsetter was on yesterday. So hopefully at least 3 of those 4 will chime in within the next day or two so I can look at getting things going. :)

(There is a lurker interested in playing if an opening comes up. I am not sure how to actually ADD a lurker but since the game isn't Adult they should be able to read the active threads.)


...also looking for the Description section under Character Details to be filled out for Chen Zen, Jill of the Jungle, and The Fury. It is just nice to have a bit of an idea of how a PC looks and maybe acts. :)

Yeah, sorry, my other pbp sends me alerts to my e-mail - I just plain forgot.

My story of how I got to Britain is pretty well in my background - Flamethrower turned against the Nazis when the propaganda movies went from "Isn't Germany awesome," to, "Kill all the undesirables," and was thrown into a Nazi experiment he shouldn't have survived, but he did. On escaping, he made his way across Europe, trading a bit on his stardom to survive.

Now that he's outside the bubble of his stardom, he sees what damage he did and want to make amends - punching and/or incinerating Nazis in order to do so.

(I found the e-mail notifications screen - shouldn't ignore this again in future.)

Still here don't worry just enjoying my holiday :) can post when you are ready to start

It's all good, I figured that. I am going to give Jill's player until Saturday to chime in otherwise I will see if our lurker wants in and start things off. (I will keep Jill's slot open, I can go with 7 PCs if needed)

I decided to just add our lurker as a new player, welcome Sister Moon on board! So either we will have 6 or 7 if Jill's player chimes in. :)

Hey everyone!  I'm playing a "nun on the run" and "runaway bride" pastiche.  Throw in one part archaeologist, add a dash of the Egyptian undead, unbridled athleticism, and stir in some crescent throwing blades and you have Sister Moon!

In reply to Sister Moon (msg # 34):

Hi there miss moon I'm just your run of the mill 40 foot long Welsh Dragon :)

I'm telling ya, something is up with all these young whippersnappers these days. When an old coot on a jetbike is the most normal guy on the team, something is definitely weird!

Look, I'm just your average Aryan specimen of physical perfection who left the Axis when he found out just how evil the Nazis could be. That I can set fire to things with my mind is . . . okay, that's a bit abnormal.
