Exaccus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 So based on some discussion in chat with supercape and others I think I've come up with a fairly simple but hopefully engaging idea for a thread that will feature some social and technological aspects and indirect antagonism along with some combat here and there. anyone interested?
olopi Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 As always, I am always interesting in new threads. So, if you feel Bonfire works for the thread count me in, unless somebody has a PC that had a lot less action than him recently, in which case feel free to give them priority And if he doesn't work, then just ignore this
Vahnyu Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 social + technological would probably be right up Net Fly's alley!
Exaccus Posted April 24, 2016 Author Posted April 24, 2016 Cool I'm glad to see such interest! Three questions I need to ask you all. Would your character be willing/able/wanting to travel to a technology expo and if so how far? Would you be interested in a bit of houseruling mechanics for something that rarely comes up? And most importantly, are you OK with rubber science because me am not the smarts. We have room for one more so I'll give it a hour or so then going up the IC and OOC
Supercape Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Would your character be willing/able/wanting to travel to a technology expo and if so how far? Yes, and pretty much any where in the world. Has money to buy charter a plane, and interest in all sorts of technology. Would you be interested in a bit of houseruling mechanics for something that rarely comes up? Rules are the map, not the chains. Whatever works best for the story. I am a rules anarchist, not a lawyer. My only preference is to keep the narrative flowing. And most importantly, are you OK with rubber science because me am not the smarts. Fine by me. Bend and distort to your hearts content. Narrative first.
Vahnyu Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Would your character be willing/able/wanting to travel to a technology expo and if so how far? -Serge (Net Fly) is currently enrolled in Freedom City's Hanover Institute of Technology to study Computer Sciences. He'd definitely be willing to travel aboard to a tech expo, especially a prestigious/well advertised one. Would you be interested in a bit of houseruling mechanics for something that rarely comes up? -As long as said houseruling is consistent, i've no problem with that! Besides, it's the GM's job to abjudicate stuff when the rules are being inadequate or unwieldy And most importantly, are you OK with rubber science because me am not the smarts. -Rubber science is the comicbook default, even at its most speculative. Having said that, I'm pretty confident myself on my ability to BS some legit-sounding science stuff, so don't hesitate to ask me to work with you on whatever you have in mind! At the very least, I could provide some inspiration.
Tiffany Korta Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I know it's a little last minute but could I maybe squeeze Triakosia in here? Not so good with the science but perfect with the social.
Exaccus Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 Certainly and with that we have our four. Thread will go up soon as I have access to a computer.
olopi Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Would your character be willing/able/wanting to travel to a technology expo and if so how far? He would probably be interested in it, because while he's not a science-based hero he does like technology and what I can do for the future. Probably doesn't have the money to travel somewhere himself, but he's a freelance photographer with ties to the media industry, so maybe some magazine had all their other people busy and hired him to travel there and cover it, as part of a team or alone. Would you be interested in a bit of houseruling mechanics for something that rarely comes up? Rules are there to make the game run smoothly. Sometimes, they don't fulfill that purpose. In cases like that, it's a GM's job to use houserules to keep everythign running smoothly. So yes, I am interested. And most importantly, are you OK with rubber science because me am not the smarts. Rubber Science is the best science for superhero settings. And I don't really understand most science anyways, so I'm very much fine with it.
