[PBEM News] X-Chaos: Rifts From: darkothx@yahoo-dot-com.no-spam.invalid (darkothx) Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2006 03:05:29 +0000 X-Chaos is a homebrew campaign I'm creating that mixes a bunch of different ideas into one big world. The basic concept is this... The world was one much like the one we all live in now; things like mutants, magic, time-travel, aliens, etc., were all the stuff of science-fiction and fantasy. Until, one day, that all changed... Something happened, no one knows exactly what. And the Rifts began. Rifts are gateways that open into other worlds, planes, even other times. Sometimes, the Rifts are permanent. Usually, they stay only long enough for someone or something to step through to one side or the other. And sometimes...the things that come through to Earth aren't very nice. Not nice at all... The appearance of the Rifts also triggered other changes on the Earth as well. Mutants began to appear, in all species. Some of the basic concepts of science were loosened as well, allowing true practitioners of what would come to be known as "magick". And of course, the chaos that erupted caused changes worldwide among the various governing bodies as well. The game itself will begin just as the Rifts first appear. What I'll be looking for are ideas for characters to play in this world, once the rifts have opened. To start, I'm looking mainly for regular Earth characters that are changed by the arrival of the Rifts. They can either become mutants, mages, or something similar. And with that in mind, as a player I'd give you the choice of either coming up with ideas for powers (you won't get all of them to start...you'll get them over time), or I can just surprise you with powers I make up as well. I'm willing to hold a discussion on it either way. Now, just so you know what you may be in for in the future, I'll probably toss in some characters from the X-Men comics, but with some twists (since they won't be from the X-Men world, after all). And I may throw in some things as varied as vampires, zombies, time travel, Wild West scenarios, Mad Max end of the world craziness, demons, and who knows what else! hehehe... Basically, just about anything goes, and I'll probably ask for opinions from the group at large as to what everyone is interested in seeing so we keep everyone wanting to play. The game will be mod-run, in that I'll be the one who comes up with the plot. Players will post, and I'll write the results. Looking for people that can post at least a couple times a week, in more than two sentence posts. If you're interested, send me an email with "PBEM: X-Chaos" in the subject line, and I'll send you a character sheet to fill out. It's pretty basic...but it will give me enough of your writing skills that I can tell whether or not you're going to be able to keep up with the game:) Or, just feel free to send me questions under that same subject line as well. MAKE SURE YOU USE THAT SUBJECT LINE OR MY SPAM FILTER MAY EAT YOUR EMAIL!!! Email address: darkothx@yahoo.com Lurkers are welcome, and even encouraged if you're not sure if this game is for you. Oh...and the game is for 18 and older, please. Some of the material may be a bit dark for kiddies. You've been warned... http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/X-Chaos/ X-Chaos@yahoogroups.com -- posted from PBEM News - PBEM listings and announcements Reply to this post at http://www.pbemnews.org Up
