New: Legendary (free, open-ended, email, human, modern, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 19:13:01 +0000 Name: Legendary Frequency: whenever you have time and interest Email: charonmacd zat yahoo.com URL: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/legendaryrpg/ Type: Teen Superheroes Last-Update: 2006Aug18 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, modern, rpg Description: Yeah, so maybe this isn't quite the place to advertise my setting and the very beginning of the game... but I'll try anyway. This is a play-by-email game, for roleplayers & writers. It will be a shared story, dealing with teenage drama and the impact on the world that having superpowers brings. I've advertised on a few other places as well. There's no cost to play, it's not turn-based, it's hopefully not going to turn into a wargame... Here's the description I posted in other places: Legendary Age Limit: None- swearing is tolerable, sex should only happen �off camera�, and evil and cruelty and pain will happen. Hopefully not every day. Detailed Description: Teen Drama, Superheroes Some time last year, the world changed. No-one knows when... but it was before the first man put on a mask and cape and took to the sky. Now, there are a few heroes in the major cities, but not many. Not many at all... not yet. This is a world where people with incredible powers have not been seen for a long time. Now those powers are here again. In the last year, the last season, the last month, or just the day before- -YOUR life changed forever. Even if you didn't want it to. *********** Fairview, Georgia is a large coastal city that sounds like it should be a small mountain town� a place where time stood still, where people sit on their front porches and drink lemonade in summer and chocolate in the winter, talk about the changing of the seasons. This city is an engineering masterpiece, full of tunnels and subways, skyscrapers and towers. Fairview was built out from the shore, made of concrete and steel, a city built on top of the waves. Nearly half of the city rests on pillars and platforms, the water surrounding the sub-basements and sewer tunnels. A major city, with over half a million people living there� and what looks like an economic recession in the very near future. But that really wouldn�t affect YOU. You�re still in high school. All you have to worry about is surviving school politics, finding a clique that supports you, and getting good enough grades to please whoever you respect- or don�t want to upset. That�s how it was supposed to be. Except� Now you have the power to be among these few superheroes. To do things almost no-one in the world can do. In a world that hasn�t seen this kind of power before, any hero�s story becomes legendary. *********** This game is set in a world not drawn directly from any comic or television show. No cross-over characters. No following continuity. Write your own story in a setting that does not have years of history. In this world, there has been no Champions of The American Way, no Dark Knight Avengers, no Exemplars of Another Culture. Create your own legend from the very start- dramatic, tragic, or quiet... the world has never seen your story before. Other Information: Come look at the website. Joining the group is easy, so that you can look at the framework for the databases, the few files about the setting and game rules, the starter photos of the city and places in it� but I will need to talk to you before the game actually begins, get samples of writing or even do some joint posts to set up the character�s story if you like. No posting minimums or maximums other than please don�t bail out in the middle of something and don�t flood the list with a million replies between just two players. There, um, is no pace of the game so far and I don�t know what to expect yet for the flow- games usually are very fast early on and then settle into their real rhythm later.
