Indeed, and speaking of attrition, I have had a couple of players drop out as well from the contemporary game that is now heading into a pre-shadowrun era. The awakening is just occurring, with all the fun that brings, and a group has headed into the underworld (OK, that was not in any Shadowrun books!) on a diplomatic mission.

NPCs available are a cop, a mining engineer whose player just left, an elven school teacher who is currently about the only person in the world with Theumatology as a skill, a reporter and and orc trapper.

As with Gwythwaints game, would be good with less NPC's.

In reply to Gwythaint (msg # 413):

I'd offer to take some of your NPC burden, but I think I should stop at 3 PCs in one game.  :P

What can I say?  In WoW, I was an alt-whore.  I found the 50 character cap the hard way.


HOWEVER, I can say for those looking for a game, that I'm having a lot of fun with this one.

Gwythaint is doing a great job running numerous simultaneous threads.

If Stark needs a safeword , let me know. As you are pulling him and Syrik at once, the ones I need a hand with are Szuzana, Molag and Haskell.
Blue, tell.me about the elven schoolteacher.

In reply to Gwythaint (msg # 416):

Her name is Erica, and she was played by a player who asked to drop her due to rl commitments.



She is one of the very few in thiscworld who knows theumatology, though her 4 light spells are still cast at 10. 116 cp character, she has a sort of non- official apprentice, the dependant of one if the other pcs.

In reply to Gwythaint (msg # 416):

Stark will have to learn about safe words on his own.  Both he and Syrik have bad tempers AND don't like each other.  I may have an in-fight on my hands before too long.

Every time I see activity in the guild hall, I want to play somebody that lingers there and doesn't go on adventures.  And then I say nay!

BlueDwarf, still have any openings over at Chthonic?

In reply to krusher (msg # 419):

Yep. John Smith is the only one taken since last post. But Gwythwaint has not applied yet. Think we are keeping him busy in Northport!

Christine

In reply to BlueDwarf (msg # 422):

Hahaha!!  Greetings!

I'm Dareos!

I'm also Stark and Syrik, but they're elsewhere.

Guys, please use this thread for game advertisements.  =)  Feel free to talk about games or anything else in the Lounge.

Sorry. Got carried away.

I would be interested.

In reply to Witchycat (msg # 426):

Yay! I hope it happens, I don't think it will though.

Actually I have thought of doing a game that would be like Shadowrun in the present day. So there would be elves and orcs and such and magic in todays world.

In reply to Witchycat (msg # 428):

That would be cool!

In reply to Bebo8096 (msg # 429):

That is about what I am running Witchy. Check out

It is bases at the time of the awakening. Actually, the players have been instrumental in initiating the awakening. The corps are only starting to find their strength, so there is no extraterritoriality...yet!

I was wondering if anyone is interested in a supers game? I am thinking of running one.

what type of supers would be enjoyable?

In reply to Zoncxs (msg # 431):

I wouldn't mind being in another supers game. Post nuclear war could be fun, or genetically grown superhumans maybe.

In reply to Zoncxs (msg # 431):

Possibly, depending on the details.

I could go for something 4 color style, or maybe something Monster Hunters style.

I was thinking of one step down from 4 color (cinematic).

You obtained your powers some how, maybe it was High tech or a mutation, or from rigorous training unlocking your chi or psionic powers, maybe you became intoned with nature and could tap into mana or a deity has granted you its powers. whatever the case may be you decided to use it for good. its been a few months since you got your powers and you know how to use them, you've been doing street level stuff when another super goes rogue. you weren't the only one to heed the call and you meet your new friends during the intense battle. You all decide to join forces and protect your city. You have heard about an Organization called "Champions for hire" and decide to all join.

Hi, I am starting a GURPS game set in a world that is similar to Shadowrun but set in a more modern day. So no cybernetics. Let me know if your interested.

In reply to Witchycat (msg # 436):

Still can take new players for a pre-shadowrun style contemporary game.

Looking at moving in 2 ways. Players can either be involved in the typical shadowrun operations in a contemporary world in the throes of being awakened to magic, or they can be involved in exploring the underworld, a world of orcs, Dwarves and other strange things.

Im setting up a steampunk/dark Victorian fantasy/Call of Cthulhu/Hellboy inspired game.

Through The Dark Looking Glass : GURPS 1891

England. 1891. It has been three years since Jack the Ripper last struck, Sherlock Holmes works as a consultant with Scotland Yard and other police services around the globe, Nikola Tesla is employed in England, developing his wondrous Tesla coil and other devices for the betterment of England and the world. Victor Frankenstein works tirelessly to develop his resurrection machine in time for the World's Columbian Exposition set for 1893. Industry is booming throughout England and Europe. But despite enormous advances in technology, superstition and paranoia runs rampant throughout England and Europe. Serial killers prowl the streets of every major city, what little remains of wilderness in the world is dark, dangerous and very inhospitable, covens of witches are exposed and tracked down by Scotland Yard and other security services throughout the world. Strange tales fill the newspapers; of monsters, shadows that haunt the periphery of society. Numerous cults plague all levels of society, worshiping a variety of entities and possessing an even wider set of sinister goals. The worst, widest spread and least known cult being a lose amalgamation of cults from around the world, unofficially named R'lyehian Cultists by Scotland Yard. The R'lyehian Cultists are comprised of groups from all levels of society and though separated by thousands of miles, culture and language, as well, in some cases hundreds of years, all share the singular focus of worshiping a dark, sinister god who lies trapped beneath the seas, whose awaking is to signal the end of the world.

In 1890, Lord William Xavier Greythumb, the 7th Marquess of Hertford, returns from the dark continent of Africa where he had spent the last decade exploring and advancing Englands' interests. His ventures have made himself and England extremely wealthy. The favourite of the crown, his rugged handsomeness and history as an adventurer and explorer make him a celebrity among the tabloids as his mystery quickly grows into legend. Unprepared for the intrigues and subterfuge of life within the nobility in London, Lord Greythumb retreats to his family estate in Hertford. In December 1890, his 19 year old daughter Alice Greythumb disappears. Lord Greythumb assembles an eccentric group, tasked with investigating his daughter's disappearance, locating her, returning her safely and bringing her abductors to justice.

This is where you come in. Summoned from the far corners of the globe, the group is comprised of unique individuals from all walks of life, whose only common link is their expertise or singular talent which makes them invaluable to Lord Greythumb. Gunfighters, vampires, witch doctors, scientists, bare knuckle boxers, fencing champions, mystics and mediums, thieves and murderers. Lord Greythumb requires your skills and is willing to pay very handsomely for your employ. You each receive a letter addressed to you from Lord Greythumb promising $250.00 if you come, meet him and listen to his proposal with a promised additional $250.00 should you succeed in his task. Considering that in 1891, a skilled laborer (carpenter, blacksmith, etc) made approximately $0.25/hour, Lord Greythumb's offer is astronomical. You each arrive at Hertford castle in Hertford, 31 miles North of London on the evening of January 7th, 1891.

Characters will be made with 200 points and 100 points of disadvantages allowed. Any conceivable character will be allowed with a feasible and detailed enough backstory. This game is inspired by the following works of fiction;
-Steampunk as a theme
-The works of H.P. Lovecraft
-"Penny Dreadful" television series
-The videogame "Dishonoured"
-"The League of Extraordinary Gentleman"
-The graphic novel series "Hellboy"
-equal parts "Sherlock Holmes", "Downton Abbey", "Dracula" and "Frankenstein"
