Alrighty folks, I've started this thread to get the ball rolling on organizing this bad boy. For those of you who are curious bastards and wanna lurk and watch ;) this is going to be a collaborative storytelling project. Instead of having a single GM running a storyline that players follow and flavor with their own subplots, we're instead starting a game where everyone is equally the GM. In the hopes of creating a detailed and intricate web of stories and destinies, there will be much more ooc collaboration to ensure the story moves ahead smoothly. My hope is to begin creating a regular webcomic using the stories and characters generated here. (crosses fingers)
This type of project will likely be diffuclt to manage which is why participation is set as invitation only. It is important that I not only have confidence in the participants as players, but also as GM's. It is possible that we will recruit additional players into the game, but at this point the doors are closed while we get some idea of how this will work best. The base concept is centered around a set of twins, both young (approx. 10 years), who were born from day one with awakened abilities. Though they are by all accounts identical twins, one is a boy and one is a girl (ah the wonder's of modern science). The girl, an otaku/technomancer and the boy is a magic user, tradition unknown. They are more than mere children. Their gifts, and their vision, enables them with an unusual level of wisdom, calm intelligence and deeper understanding of the chaotic world that exists. (think of the girl who explained the concept of the bending spoon to Neo :)) They believe they are destined to bring about a sort of utopian balance of the three worlds (wireless matrix, astral reality and mundane existance) and are accompanied by an archtypical cast of shadowrunners who for whatever reasons near and dear to their hearts, souls or credsticks, find themselves on the same path/quest. Currently, we have Buddha72 playing the boy mage, myself playing the girl technomancer and Grendel will be taking the counterpoint as our nemesis/advasary. (who better to play the big bad evil corp dude:)) McQuillan, Fenris and ES Sparky have all been invited to create SR players to fill out the team. At this point, these are the members that should be posting here. To the five of you, thanks for saying yes to this crazy project! While I came up with the silly idea, it should now belong equally to all of us. I am anxious to hear any ideas on how best to organize this so that we have a smooth storyline moving forward. |
