New: Birth of a Legend (free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 20:13:02 +0000 Name: Birth of a Legend Costs: None Email: sharlene79 zat mindspring.com Frequency: every 2 days Type: Superhero RPG Last-Update: 2006Mar21 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg Description: This is a game for HEROES set in the near future (2025) generally based in GURPS 3rd edition rules. Knowledge of GURPS is useful, but unnecessary. Neither will they be strictly adhered to. The plot is intended to be theatrical and serious. The game will be largely based on Marvel like heroes and villains. There will be several ongoing plots; some visible, some not. One will be the classic anti-mutant plot. (All mutants and psionics will be Hunted by an organization known as PSI.) There will be two invasion plots from other dimensions. And there will be a gothic plot involving werewolves and vampires. (Before anyone asks, no � no player vampires or vampires please.) No silly characters. Humor is fine, but I am looking for good writers and proactive players. I want characters with strong concepts. Mere normal citizens should be able to look to the player characters as role models. They don�t have to be perfect. Look at Spider Man. One day he is a hero. The next everyone thinks he is public enemy number one. The idea is for the players to form a group, so a strong public reputation will be a must. [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
