Re: Looking For Games
I want to get a taste for HERO 6E in action before I run anything myself, and I've been in a rut lately. Maybe something new will spark something. So I was wondering if someone wanted to run a private PBP game for me, just a short one-shot, to help me get a bit used to things? I have several ideas for games I would enjoy playing, many of which are set in extant settings, and some of which could be ported into the Champions universe or something like that.
Ideas (you may notice a theme here), in no particular order:
Resident Evil Outbreak: Set in the hellish week from September 24th to Raccoon City's nuclear destruction on the morning of October 1st. I would play an exceptional person, but not action movie hero-level like they get later in the series, trying to survive alongside others and escape. I have some ideas for this as far as the monsters and stuff go.
Left 4 Dead: Similar, though weighted more toward the post-apocalyptic end of things. Trying to find a safe haven, survive, gather supplies, etc., while battling or fleeing the Infected.
Last of Us/I Am Alive: Cataclysmic post-apocalypse with a unique feel. I'm kinda looking more for Last of Us now, since it's got elements like overgrown cities and stuff. Looks very interesting.
Champions: I wouldn't mind joining in on a game set in the Champions universe, even if it's not a private game. I can only do a short stint, though, so guest-starring for one story would be fun. I'd like to try Kara Loft, my Tomb Raider pastiche described <a href="http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/90468-Kara-Loft-Lost-In-The-Sands-Of-Egypt?p=2361643#post2361643>here</a> and <a href="http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php/90468-Kara-Loft-Lost-In-The-Sands-Of-Egypt?p=2366776#post2366776">here</a>. I'd like to try her even in a game with superheroes (with some more gear). I think it'd be fun. A team-up in some kind of Egyptian mythology-based story like the setup in that thread.
Dino Crisis: It doesn't have to be specifically the DC setting, but something like that. A whole city transported into the late Cretaceous, by design or by accident, with scientific detail and survival at its best. I'll play a rugged scientist or perhaps merc trying to escape and get back home! But then if she can't, I have some ideas for the character, like she's hyper-evolving due to the strange time-warp that brought them back or something. Stronger, faster, heightened senses, basically, evolving into a human that could survive in the savage Cretaceous (no, not a cavegirl).
There are a couple of other ideas, but anyway, I stress that it needs to be a short one-shot that is hopefully not super-strict about pace, as mine can fluctuate. I don't mind guest-starring in an existing game if you are fine with that.
PM me if you're interested!
