FOOM! Friends of Ol' Marvel (FASERIP) [Recruiting]

hero4hire · Oct 17, 2017

Face Front True Believers! Due to some interest, I will be starting a Game using the Old TSR Marvel (FASERIP) RPG.

Interested Applicants should submit a fleshed out Character Concept with a Picture. We will be using "Character Modeling" to hash out stats and powers. Alternatively, if everyone agrees we can use Random Generation. But I still have to figure out which charts I want to use for that. I enjoy character concepts that link to or are involved with the Marvel Universe, but aren't ripoffs of Existing characters.

There may be a couple of Houserules that I will clarify once I give all the rules a reread. I believe it will involve a change of benchmarks for Strength (100-ton strength cap is

) and Speed (Landspeed and Airspeed will likely be the same).

The setting will be an "Iconic Marvel Universe" where I fully intend to ignore Canon Continuity that I don't know about or simply don't like. But characters and themes should be instantly recognizable to fans of Marvel Comics. (Hey look there's Thor and Spidey fighting the Rhino!)

Any questions feel free to ask! Rules can be found for free at http://classicmarvelforever.com/cms/

EXCELSIOR!

Going to roll my Origin and then go from there, I'm not sure what I want to play. But want to play I do.

[roll0] = Hi-Tech Wonder

EDIT: So I will be the highly smart Gadget Guy, let me think on him a bit.

Gragh. On a lark, I rolled two characters ENTIRELY randomly, and got a couple of really workable ones.

But I dunno if I can do another game, especially with a system I have no expertise in.

So should I stop updating the character in your Monitor Duty game that I've been trying to make? Or should I join two games? Well, I'll roll a random character here for now. I have to go get the books out of the dusty box on my shelf first. Haven't touched these since last century.

Shayuri · Oct 17, 2017

I just used the online books.

I haven't chosen *which* chargen book we will be using yet. But random seems to be a popular option.

I am still up for the Freedomverse game. Its just moving VERY slowly.

I will post the chargen stuff tomorrow since everyone so far is onboard for randomness!

All PbF games move slow. My 3rd version of Mr Amazing is awaiting your commentary.

I may need the randomness as I have come up with no ideal I like as of yet, I'll keep the Advanced Players Book roll of Hi-Tech if you want and go from there.

Just let me know when to roll them bones.
