Basic Premise:
Welcome to 'One Minute to Midnight'; a campaign using the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying system.  You'll be taking the role of a young Mutant, trying to survive in an increasingly hostile world.  Your actions, for good or for bad, will eventually shape the destiny of humanity.

The game is already tagged both for 'Drama' and 'Action', but I'm repeating it here for emphasis; I intend our Heroes to be spending as much time interacting with each other and dealing with the tensions and complexities of being an aberration as they would be kicking-ass.  Weeks, and months, could pass in between the action scenes.  Keep that mind before you apply.

Rules:
The only book you'll need is the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying: Civil War core book.
The system is based on Cortex-plus; it's narrative-based, and rather lightweight.  Because it is a bit open-ended it will require collaboration between players and the Watcher about which 'cue' can be for used under which circumstance.  I hope common sense prevails, but if not, I'll post some guidelines under the house-rules section.

There would be two types of threads in this game, Open Threads, and Story Threads

[Open Threads]
Freeform, without Watcher supervision.  Open Threads are a great way for your characters to interact with each other; to develop relationships, expose a bit of their backstories, or showcase their powers in a fun way.  I don't intend to check on this threads regularly, but I do expect players to respect each other and the setting, so no godmodding, griefing, etc.

Currently, there are two Open Threads open:

● The X-Mansion
● X-Mansion Campus Grounds


The Danger Room is currently locked, but will become available later on.   I will create additional threads by request, and those might be group-restricted in case some of the characters would prefer to keep the interaction private.

[Story Threads]
The threads in which the main storyline would be played out. Run by the Watcher.
[Story Threads] will be divided into Events, Acts, and Scenes.


Experience will usually only be awarded for participating in [Story Threads].  Occasionally, I will reward players for exceptional, consistent,  posts in the [Open Threads] as well.

Posting Frequency:
I will usually be able to post daily, and I will be happy if the players can commit to do the same, but three or four times a week can work as well.  Do try to reply quickly if you're the one holding up the action, out of courtesy for the rest of the players.  If real life gets in the way of your gaming and you can't post as much, if you're going to be away for a while, or if you tire and don't want to continue anymore, do let me know.  I'll move things along if a player goes AWOL, but a heads-up will be much appreciated.

Common Courtesy
Please conduct yourself with dignity at all times; toward the other players, and myself.
In-game conflicts might be an interesting part of the game (and would probably increase in frequency as the campaign advances toward its climax), but I ask all players to avoid it becoming personal and disruptive to the game.  If you have an issue with any of the players, or myself, PM me, and we'll sort things out.


Posting Format
All speech should be in BLUE
Thoughts should be ITALICIZED
Out of Character actions should be ORANGE with an OOC tag in front.  Keep OOC comments and discussions to the OOC thread.
