Hellbound Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I'm looking for interest in doing a little rescue work -- something that involves saving a large number of people from an environmentally oriented threat. Fire, chemical cloud, freezing water or the like is what I have in mind. Something that would require Hellbound to power stunt his Enhanced Con into an Immunity. Bad guys are welcome either in the form of being the source of the disaster, trying to stop us from saving innocent lives or even doing a little reform work on the side. Good guys are welcome in helping out with the rescue. Anyone interested?
Avenger Assembled Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I'll put myself on the maybe list; I'm trying to avoid getting into any further threads until I finish at least one of my current ones. If I finish Break-In soon enough, I'd be happy to jump in with you.
N/A Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I'll throw The Scarab's hat into the ring. Telekinesis, ESP, Telepathy, and Postcognition/Precognition could all come in handy for rescue work. She's already in 3 threads, though, so I'll gladly bow out if more needy characters show interest.
Cyroa Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I'm interested as well! In 2 currently, if it matters. edit: with the return of Sandman, it's actually 3
Leffa Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Sammy isn't in any threads yet, so I'm in as long as there's room for him.
Hellbound Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Sweet -- looks like there is some good interest in this. That's what I was hoping for. So we currently have anywhere from 3-5 heroes ready to roll (dependent on both Scarab and Avenger's participation), and I'm in the process of recruiting us a PC villain as well -- I'd still love to see Miko be a part of this, if you're reading us, Saku! I think that's probably enough to start hunting around for a ref. Later this morning I'll drop a line out that we're in search of one. I can handle the introductory portion of the adventure, but once we start running into challenges I'd prefer that someone else be in charge of the details. Life's just a little more interesting when you don't control those allied against you.
Hellbound Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Okay -- got the request post up. Hopefully everyone approves of the outline that I listed for the storyline. If not, let me know what you'd like to see changed and I'll make some edits.
Ecalsneerg Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 If there's still room, I'd like to get Arrowhawk in on this. He's got a quiver of arrows on a par with Batman's utility belt, so he should be of use. ;)
Hellbound Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Don't see why not, Sneerg. We're still in the planning phase so far, nothing has been finalized. How many threads is the 'Hawk in at the moment? I'm looking at the following in terms of priority: Sammy (As he's not in any threads yet, and his Soul Shooter might be useful if we end up going against the vallain I'm hoping for) Scarab (Her mental scans and psychic attacks may well prove invaluable for this one) Those two I'd like to have for a certainty. In addition... Darkstar -- in 3 active threads at the moment Avenger -- available after one or more concurrent threads close. I'm willing to run with as many players as are willing to post regularly, but whatever ref we end up with may hold the number to something reasonable. We'll have to see once one has shown some interest in us.
Ecalsneerg Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 He's currently in two, with one wrapping up soon-ish if it wakes up again.
Hellbound Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Then Arrowhawk should probably be placed between Sammy and Scarab in terms of priority, though I don't see why we can have all interested parties involved -- pending referee approval.
Ecalsneerg Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Yeah, Sammy should definitely have priority. He has a dinosaur.
Hellbound Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Sweet... Sammy gets to be in charge if you let Hellbound ride him! Er... the dinosaur, that is. Not Sammy.
Leffa Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Well... I don't know if he's the kind of guy you should put in charge. His distrust of technology, and his lack of understanding of modern society could be troubling.
Hellbound Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 I dunno... when Timmy falls down the well, who better to get him out than an honest-to-goodness cowboy? With or without the dinosaur.
Hellbound Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 Shoot. I thought this sounded like a cool idea, but apparently the refs didn't. Does anybody else feel like taking it on, GM-wise?
MBCE Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Shoot. I thought this sounded like a cool idea, but apparently the refs didn't. Does anybody else feel like taking it on, GM-wise? I don't think any of the Refs have said anything either way about the thread. Most are busy running threads they have already started, checking new characters, and RL. From what little I read of the idea, it doesn't look like you need a Ref to start you off. You can easily set up the situation. Agree amongst yourselves how many people need to be saved, and then split the work. Have someone determine the results of the other character's actions kind of like a round robin. Character A posts doing an action. Player B, the next to post, tells the results of Character A's actions before posting their own character's actions. Player C then resolves character B's actions before posting his own. If things get to a point where everyone is working together, PM a Ref to help resolve the situation and then the thread can go back to the round robin effect. Happy Gaming!
Hellbound Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 I guess I'm just not used to sites where so much player-driven content is taken as campaign cannon. When in Rome, though... so chime in, everyone, who still has an interest in taking this storyline forward and I'll pop up a starters.
Ecalsneerg Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 To the Arrow-cycle! There's trouble brewing in Freedom City! (Still here )
Leffa Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm ready to do some good. So, what's the crisis gonna be?
Hellbound Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 How's Freedom for cruise ships? I like the idea of one of those going down. Fire, explosions, freezing water and an illegally transported medical experiment that breaks free.
Hellbound Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Welll okay then -- Save the Citizen(s)! - IC is up!
