[PBEM News] With Great Power From: sharlene79@mindspring-dot-com.no-spam.invalid (sharlene79) Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2006 16:22:07 +0000 Set in the near future of Earth, 2025, this is a superhero game with features the rise of heroes for the first time. The game will use GURPS 3rd edition game mechanics and character design. This is a modestly realistic and bloody system. The game will not begin with less than two players. I�d recommend no less than three. And players will need to agree on morality. That is, will you play four-color heroes - or vigilante - but as a group. Reactions by the public and the Law will be realistic. Technology will be realistic as well. Gadgeteers will be limited to available technology. Sorry, no aliens yet. Also, no vampires or werewolves. Any alien technology will be unique and costly � and irreplaceable. If you lose a gadget, you lose the points. Characters should be Modern and realistic. They should have a source of income and transportation � assuming you have any. Consider your characters� past careers and education. For powers, consider how you will bring criminals to justice. If not a vigilante, can you stop a villain without killing them? The game will be based in the classic New York City. Concept and background are extremely important. So is the ability to write and role-play. You should be able to post daily or at least every other day. And posts should be better than a short paragraph. These will be GM guided adventures. Yes, there will be non-combat time. Indeed, I prefer most of the time be non-combat, investigations, etc. Combats should be planned out and brief if possible. Knowledge of the GURPS system will be useful, not absolutely necessary. This will be more of a GM guided adventure � diceless for players. -- posted from PBEM News - PBEM listings and announcements Reply to this post at http://www.pbemnews.org Up
