Hey, I know I don’t have the best reputation around here for starting/keeping a game going, but I was wondering if anyone was interested in doing an Avengers themed game. I’m looking to make it close to a modern cinematic-type universe as I can, but also keeping things in the spirit of the comics we know and love.
My plan is to introduce each character off with an origin comic (or two), and then incorporate everyone together in an Avengers comic (or two). I think this might be the best for the games. I am not looking to do anything in depth (at this time); just a couple interesting/fun one shot or two.
One of the concepts I have been toying around with in my head (and I think this game might be a prime candidate) is a board-wide "Self-Sustaining Universe" event-like game. The system/game would work like this...
- Each player will have the chance to submit CADs and also comment on and approve other player's CADs. Players can only play with character CADs that are accepted by all other players.
- Similar to how each Marvel movie has a different director, however fits into a streamline set of events (Phase); all players will work together in order to propel a plot forward. This means each comic will have a player and a GM (or more, if the situation warrants) and work together with updates to form a cohesively built storyline.
- With this simple framework set-up players and GMs can update a comic (come and go due to RL issues) as much as they wish. Thus a game will not “Die due to updates.” Players and GMs who are quick responders can update a comic as often as they want, while players who drop by weekly or (in my case) monthly can also have a say in the stories, and post.
Please respond if interested.
RULES:
- MURPG Rules.
- Established Marvel characters only please. That said; these don’t have to necessarily have a mainstream-like or ultimate-type background. Any interesting character is a good character.
- Although at heart it is based on comic books, I plan on having this game as “True to life” as I can. I am looking for a (realistic) cinematic adaptation on characters with a slight comic book feel.; meaning that I am looking for semi-vulnerable characters that have visible limitations. If in doubt, think of the latest Marvel movies and you will see what I’m talking about.
- Players start with 85+5 stones to create their starting characters. Each issue will grant 8+2 or 7+3 Stones (instead of lines of Experience) to be added to character sheets. This means everyone should have about a 100 stone character when it comes to the first Avengers comic. (I may change the count up or down depending on the power level on the CADs I receive.)
- Health/Energy/Regeneration will be separated into three different abilities.
- I will look over the CAD submissions and choose the character representations that best fit what I’m looking for in my game. (Unless you’re WK and want to play Captain America)
