Chalk River, a new TMNT & OS RPG Campaign

Check out the yahoo group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/chalk_river

Email soopahphat@yahoo.com to submit your character submission!

Greetings!  Interested players are invited to submit character ideas
for a TMNT & OS (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness)
campaign, also using Ninjas & Superspies rules and related TMNT
supplements.

I'm looking for about four to six players to play mutant animals in a
modern day campaign, starting out from a nuclear research facility.
The animals should be common to the area of the Ottawa River valley.
If you don't know it, the Ottawa River makes up much of the border
between the provinces of Quebec and Ontario in Canada, part of the
region known as the great Canadian shield.  The origin of the
mutations is the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) nuclear
research laboratory (very high security) situated on the banks of the
Ottawa River (Ontario side) near a very small town called Chalk River.
A number of miles upstream is another small town, Deep River, home to
most of the personnel at AECL.

BTW, I haven't GM'd a game for awhile, and never PBEM, but I have
played AD&D PBEMs as a player and I would like the challenge of
creating a new campaign with one of my all time favourite gaming
systems.  If you also enjoy the TMNT role-playing game then drop me a
line and tell me your ideas for your character.  The characters will
be starting off as young animals just becoming aware of their mutant
abilities, their own consciousness, and the world around them.  Think
of ways that your character has gained their mutations, either by
design or by accident (there is lots of stored radioactive material on
land nearby the lab compound, some additional areas nearby with
accidental spills, leakage of Tritium (?) from the reactors into the
river, and there is significant biological research taking place in
the laboratory itself).  Come up with your character's personality (as
you expect it will develop over time as they mature) and future
expected skills set (they will need to develop their skills during the
course of the game, no instant ninjas!).  Your animals may start off
with no language, or speaking either English or French or something
else (depends on their initial contacts after mutation).  I'm looking
for people with a good grasp of story telling who like a lot of
adventure at the same time.  So spend some time on your character's
background and motivations, it will pay off.  I do not want fully
rolled out characters.  Write up a description and I'll work with you
on the nuts and bolts of the characters.  If you are accepted then I
will generate the dice rolls for your character's attributes.

I have set up a yahoo group for our postings and related files.
Please
email me or the group to subscribe.  Ah, and I'm looking for players
who
will commit to posting twice a week.  No deadbeats, please!  I plan on
updating turns (responding to player actions) at least that often.

Good luck, and welcome!
