Generally it's useful to have one of these.

I intend to have the players wanted flag open until Feb 13th at least. Should be enough time to gather interested players.

Updated the system. Using 3e Mutants and Masterminds.

So sorting through RTJs, most are good or would be good with some tweaks, but also there are many and I don't want to overwhelm myself. So please be patient as I work through RTJs especially those with questions and come to a decision about an initial cast.

Hi wanted to welcome players aboard. Could entertain a few more. So what happened was I actually got more inquiries than applications. So if you care to imagine I'm looking at a little over twice the number of players in PM labeled RTJ. Several of these are actually questions, like whether I'm willing to help people new to the system (Yes), and whether this is a sandbox or story driven game. (At PL-20 the starting area Literally the entire planet Earth of the Prime dimension of the main timeline, is MUCH too small to contain what's come, so a plot driven narrative wouldn't survive contact with the players, rather my plan is to go with a scripted antagonism type model, which allows sandbox elements while throwing plot at the players) I kind of expected more of those questions to proceed to pitches than actually did.

It's a pretty decently diverse cast and a fine number to start with.

Hello everyone!

It should be nice to play with you. I think it will be the weekend before I can make a level 20 M&M but I am looking forwards to it.

Hail and well met mortals!

I am Magni Thorson, the Stormrider, Protector of Midgard.

-------------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to playing with you all! Never made a character at this level before, so I'm looking forward to the challenge too.

Well, hey, folks!

I'm glad that I found a game with an excuse to use this character again; it was a lot of fun the first time around, and boosting the character to PL20 will only make the concept fit better.

Hey, y'all. I need to actually pick a character name now. The hardest part.

But I'll be your resident speedster/one-human-police-state. It's gonna be fun on a bun!

And hello to all you guys too!  Super thrilled to be here, looking forward to seeing where we go with it!

The Aurora (or, her friends can feel free to just call her "Aurora," like it was a proper name) is a mysterious being composed of sentient light from the distant reaches of the cosmos / multiverse / whatever, she's not even really quite sure herself.  :)

Ave and Greetings, beings great and small !

You may know me as Janus, God of Portals, Doorways and Transitions. Worship is not required. Offerings will be treated with suspicion, for I know that there is No Free Lunch.

This character is proving... interesting to build. But, I hope, will be fun to play.

Phew!

That took a few hours, but I think I got it.

Thank god(s) Magni is a simple Powerhouse.

I've got a draft worked up; I'm not a simple powerhouse.

Congratulations!

I think I will be a whole day... M&M is quite hard for PL 8! I don't think PL 20 is that much harder, except you can afford 'those little things' that you wouldn't have got before.

It helps to have a 'clear vision' which I do, but even then it takes time (as you say - hours)

So to clarify what sort of thing is a "Rude" power. You can do some things in Mutants & Masterminds that upset people sometimes. For instance concealment 10 + insubstantial 4 which renders you undetectable to all normal senses including touch, or Movement Dimensional 1 (Ethereal) + Remote Sensing 20 Dimensional + Move Object 20 Perception Dimensional which allows you to do most stuff people do in person while "safely" hidden in another dimension, or Movement Time Travel because it's time travel.

You have permission to do minor exploits like these because plenty of other cosmic entities are going to be equipped to deal with that even if most aren't. And as for the the regular civilians, they are so badly outclassed it doesn't matter.

... well Aurora is literally made of light and can control it photokinetically, so...  yeah, she'll be having Concealment and Insubstantial.  :)

So! I'm... Fairly bad at playing with the numbers in this game. Something in my head just doesn't grok the many possible combinations. I'm hoping people might be open to helping me make a sheet happen in a way that feels like fun!

I suppose what I'd like to start with is coming up with a cool power set and seeing what I have left after that. I've gone through the DC book and the Powers and snatched up a small list of 'must haves' (posted below). But I'm interested in learning what any interested takers might do with the big pool of points to make a super speedster work. The basic premise is a philosophy student who became super powered. She has decided to use her powers not to fight crime, really. Rather, she uses her impossible speed to be literally everywhere at once. Monitoring society and forcing it to be her exact ideal utopia. Turning her chosen city into a place where nothing bad can happen because she will not allow it.

What are ideas for things that might be fun to do with this idea and powers? There's a huge pool of points, let's get weird with it!

Unlimited Speed
Speed (30 5,000,000 mph/8,400 mpr; 30 points)
Quickness (25; 25 points)

Untouchable
Immunity (80; All Dodge and Parry-based effects, Limited: must be able to move, not against surprise attacks; 40 points)
- Immunity (5; Grabs and Entrapment; 1 point)
- Movement (3; Permeate; 1 point)
Concealment (4; Visual; Limited: Moving; 4 points)

Go Anywhere
Movement (3; Water-Walking, Move Up Walls; 2 points)
Enhanced Advantage (Agile Feint, Close Attack 4, Defensive Roll 5, Evasion 2, Improved Initiative 5, Interpose, Instant Up, Move-by Action, Seize Initiative; 22 points)

Why Not Both?
Enhanced Dexterity (Area - Burst (120), Selective; 18 points)
 - Enhanced Strength (Area - Burst (120), Selective; 1 point)
