I'm trying to see if there's any appeal for this sort of game, and also trying to figure out if I'm going to have time to DM it. I'm running another game, playing in four, trying to get into two more... but I'd really like to try this concept and don't have the patience to wait.
Just post a rough bio right off the get go, I don't want to see any attempts at character sheets until I've got a stable of players willing to play by my rules. People tend to focus too much on stats and forget that PbP is essentially a storytelling medium, not a dicerolling medium.
So anyway, now that I've got that nonsense out of the way, here's the pitch:
You are yourself. Obviously I cannot prove that you are who you say you are, but you have to be human, and have lived a normal life. Do try your best to play along. I will probably be an NPC in this myself (might even be part of the group if we're running short on melee characters.)
You sent your name in for some contest while you were at the mall one day. You probably didn't even remember doing it, but you did. Four months later, you received a glittering, gilded invitation telling you that you had won. After a bit more reading, you found out exactly what it is that you have won, and it turns out that you have won an all expenses paid trip to Los Angeles. Further proving that it is genuine, there is one plane ticket attached. You can tell whoever you want, but you can only go alone. The ticket is dated for tomorrow morning, and you have little time to choose. The instructions say to pack light as everything will be provided for you.
Alright Folks. That's the pitch for the game, now pitch your Selves. Give a short autobiography and then explain why your bio fits into a starting class and starting occupation from the basic d20 Modern starting occupations (this should be pretty basic, but
This may be handy for some of you: http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/modern/roarerbull/Home.php
If anyone else is willing or interested in DMing this, get in touch with me, otherwise I will run this myself.
