Do you have what it takes to pull off a high-stakes run?  Or are you a
street samurai, for hire to the biggest bidder.  Or maybe an
anarchy-driven punk ready to throw a monkey wrench to the big information
conglomerates.  Regardless, if you can groove on the likes of W.M.
Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Jeff Noon, and Shadowrun and have access to a
steady terminal drop me a line to become a part of a new email based role
playing game-

Enter REACTOR

REACTOR is a role playing game that dispenses with the dice and
statistical crap associated with RPGs and instead rewards players for
creative writing and problem solving approaches.  I plan to include
visual aids and a web page to bring realism to the game.  Set roughly in
a world similar to Neuromancer and Shadowrun with nuances of Battletech,
Paranoia, and just about every futuristic Anime you've ever seen, the
game is wide open for just about any type of character you want to
create.

WHAT YOU NEED TO PLAY:
-Interest in the cyberpunk genre, and although it may help to understand
the lingo YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXPERIENCE WITH RPGS OR EMAIL GAMES TO PLAY.

-An email account and access to the world wide web (if you're reading
this you probably have that covered)

-YOU MUST HAVE INTEREST ENOUGH TO POST EVERY WEEKDAY.   Okay, so most
week days.  My main gripe with most email RPGs is that they move horribly
slow and eventully lose impetus.  I work at a university computer lab and
need something to blow off time, so expect the game to move consistently.

At this point I'm looking for four or five dedicated players.  The
first task is character generation, then right into action.  I've got a
basic outline for the story and some puzzles, tasks, etc.  If you would
like to contribute descriptions of weapons, cybernetic or biogenetic
implants, vehicles or scenarios I'm all eyes.

THIS GAME IS RATED R FOR VIOLENCE AND ADULT SITUATIONS- if your
postings portray you as a giggly middle school kid then I'll drop you
like a bad pill.  Oh, that reminds me, if you have problems with
situations involving imaginary drugs or if you're heavily religious
FORGET IT.  We won't get along.

By the way, I'm considering posting updates of the game on this newsgroup
and/or my website (which isn't quite up yet).  I will of course need your
permission to do so.
