Okay team, this is gonna be the OOC thread for the game. Before we begin, you guys are gonna have to come to a consensus on some of the following issues so I have a better idea of how to set up this game:
1) What setting would you guys like to play in? I know Seattle is the default, but if there's some other city that you've always wanted to do unsightly criminal things to, let me know! If you choose a place that you're familiar with, then be prepared for me to fuck it up beyond all recognition, because I like making stuff up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) 2) What direction do you want the moral compass of this game to point? How altruistic/evil are your characters going to be? What values do they hold? What are their limits? If you want to play a good guy, then it would probably be a bad idea for me to send you on a mission to assassinate a baby. 3) What kind of challenges would you prefer? Combat? Infiltration? Investigation? Puzzle solving? All of the above, and more? Let me know what kinda stuff you like to do in games and I'll try my best to oblige. 4) Any house rules you like? I'm probably going to come up with some of my own after I've had a chance to re-read the system, because last I remember SR4 had a lot of its own limitations, but suggestions are always welcome. More to come if I think of anything. In addition to the above, now is the time to work on your character sheets. Forget about build point guidelines. Stat out your characters as you envision them in your head. Keep in mind that this game may run the long stretch if things go well, so it would probably be wise not to create a couple of superheroes with no room for future advancement. You guys can also coordinate with each other to ensure that your respective PCs are on a roughly even playing field, and I'll sort out any discrepancies at the end of the process. Also, character histories - the more you give me, the more I can integrate into the game, so if you want to expand on what you wrote for the original concepts, this is a good time. Alternatively, you can choose to figure it out as you go along. Woo hoo, let's get this party started! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif) |
