This is in the style of my rather successful Dragon game (Well technically with was a DND game... before I let you all inside it)
The game is set in present day, present time, only with a very big tweak. Advanced Technology & magic are quite rarely and mysterious things and you will all be playing a variety of normal people.
The game is a open house game that will run Thursdays (at present, I could change this if asked) at Mars from about 3pm. I'm happy to provide lifts afterwards if required.
The style is fairly open, allowing people to turn some sessions or occasionally if htey like as cameo pc's. There will be generic characters with a bit of background and history and a *fill it in as you go* concept attatched.
The actual game with run with... well either DND, Rifts, or a simple basic system thats much like the two. I'm not fussed what system you use, I know what I want to give to you all and how to expand it as we go along. So the system is up to the players, but essentially you will have some stats, some skills, a to hit value or 2, and a description, history, background, persona, etc. Bringing a d20 for skills, d100 for luck and a few odd dice for damage might be a good idea though. And pen/paper of course for the loot.
Oh yeah, the game concept - Your all normal people. Your all doing normal things in normal lives. Then some a little less normal happens. And well... we'll see where it leaves.
This is a very player driven campaign where you will have the chance to explore any world you can imagine. I'm using Rifts RPG as a basis. (Palladium made rifts, like DND only they made more books, genres, expansions, detail, ideas & concepts than DND has made in munchkins!) This game will let you wander time, magic, technology, monsters, worlds and anything you can imagine. If you can achieve it. And I will have a over lieing plot as well, but thats my role in the end. To hide a plot in amongst the fun & madness of my RPG's.
This is a open game, designed for 3-6 players a session, and yes its as simple as *walk in, heres a generic PC, start*. The rules system is *d20 + relevant stat, skill & item value*, You have HP to stpo you dieing & xp will be whatever seems appropriate at the end of the day. The character sheets will be fairly simple, the system also simple, but it works and has done so in the past.
So please feel free to rock up thursday and come see. So far I have 2 PCs & want a couple more. And yes, Jonty you CAN bring in that pc you wanted.
well... We all Know I'm in... Not Like I get much of a choice in the matter.
Not That I mind this state of affairs.
snoozy GM says he'll be there just after 11 on Thursday. And me and Owen will most likely be there.
I'll be there about 12. Travel time and all that non instant transportation.
So, thats 4 ppl & an occasional short lived appearance from Glen. I'd like another person or two if I can coax people into existing for a few hours on these thursdays.
But I have more than enough to start. If anyone has any character requests send them through to me (heikoli@gmail.com)
And I'll make accomadations and arrangements for something appropriate for this world. Its not quite just DND this time ^_^
And this is a open game. If people want to come watch, cameo for 1/2 an hour or a session or 3, please rock up or just poke me on msn (30202233@student.murdoch.edu.au) or email in advance if you have requests. I'm happy to accomadate and always curious about others thoughts.
Just to let everyone know I'm going to be late to the start of this game. I have to go to a funeral on thursday.
