Thunder King Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Now I'm not sure exactly what all characters are from space or based in space, but I am curious. I was mostly thinking of connecting them so that we have an excuse to go on future space-related adventures. So who has a cosmic hero that's interested in teaming up with other cosmic heroes?
Ari Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Red Moon isn't cosmic by any measure, but she can operate in space pretty well.
Blue Rose Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Stormbreaker is a space pirate dragon god. Does that count? :P
Thunder King Posted December 6, 2012 Author Posted December 6, 2012 See, this is what I wanted. There have been plenty of heroes based in and around outer space, but very few of them who ever have an excuse to go into space. We should start a dialogue, talk about space adventures, get some thread ideas going.
Ari Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I'll hold off on that because this is already a lot of players.
Thunder King Posted December 6, 2012 Author Posted December 6, 2012 I don't mean everyone in the same thread, I mean acknowledging that we have cosmic heroes in the first place. Both Marvel and DC have longstanding traditions of space heroes, and I rarely see any heroes on here actually go into space.
Raveled Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 Well the game is Freedom City Play by Post. I believe the idea is that a majority of the adventures happen within the city, or at least start here. Having a group which operates mainly or solely in space would be hard to work.
Supercape Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 I think there is room for Space heroics (and several threads have occurred in Space - and we even have a Spaaaace! Forum). As Ravelled says, this site is based around Freedom City - that does leave room for other bases, locations, etc...as long as they don't overwhelm the site. Supercape would be interested in any Space thread, of course, given his ability to survive in Space, and his ability to travel practically anywhere. He may be a bit high PL / power, but still, bear him in mind - for a plot device if nothing else! If there is enough space heroes, I suggest clubbing together for a space station and acting as Earths defenders from outer space!
Blue Rose Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 On second thought, I'd love to, but at the moment, I have plenty of threads on my plate.
JackgarPrime Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 One of the things I've been wanting to do with Victory is to expand to space. I've had a space-type power setup in my head for awhile, and he's at least left the planet a few times.
Ari Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Simplest and most obvious idea would be for, say, Star Knight to request backup when some giant space animal or stellar entity gets loose. That provides a clear target, clear reason for the group to gather, and potentially puts them in touch for future adventures.
Ari Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Basic idea: a noble of the Stellar Khanate sends a secret message to the Star Knights that her beloved has been captured and imprisoned by one of her greatest enemies in Kinan Khan's court. She wants assistance in freeing him, which is taken by Mentor to mean an almost certain trap of some sort. Sri Montoya of Earth takes on the mission regardless, taking the precaution of asking for aid from among Earth's space-faring heroes. The band must somehow rescue the houseguest without creating a diplomatic incident, evade or defeat the army of a powerful Khanate noble(allowed due to distinguished service by the Star Khan), and secure a happy ending! Thoughts?
Raveled Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Oh man, this could be tailor made for Starlight. "We need to get into this place without anyone knowing." "Well there's this Grue..."
Thunder King Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 I want Solar Sentinel in on this!
Ari Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Let me be clear: I don't see myself Gamemastering this. Mainly because I'd prefer someone else to try their hand at it, but also because I'm still loaded. :oops:
Thunder King Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 That's fine, we can gather the players who want to be part of it, and see who can GM it
Ari Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 So, any ideas of how to improve on the base premise? It is a tad sketchy.
TheAbsurdist Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 While Asad isn't really a Cosmic person yet, though I could see him involve apart from the who subtlety issue. But I wouldn't mind GMing this.
Ari Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Excellent! One thing I want to make plain is that this is intended as a Star Wars-like adventure, not a super-tense interstellar political thriller where the heroes are involved for plausible deniability. They're called in to do something heroic, even if for someone who might not deserve it. Blue Rose, you mentioned something about disguising the rescue as a pirate attack, I think? I'd love to hear more about what you had in mind!
Blue Rose Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. And being a space pirate with a space pirate ship, it's not even a disguise. Known attacker-of-ships attacks a ship, takes all their swag (or all they can carry) plus their prisoners and maybe their pants, and goes off to sell their stuff and 'ransom' their prisoners, leaving 'em adrift with little more than a distress beacon. Standard pirate attack. It just happens to double as a rescue mission, with some 'friends' along for extra muscle to help sort that part out.
