Got an itch to return to some old(er/ish) stomping grounds, and was wondering if there might be an interest in playing in a Buffy: the Vampire Slayer RPG play-by-post game, using Eden Studios Unisystem.
Premise:
The game would be run with the idea that when Buffy nearly killed Faith at the end of season 3, Faith was actually clinically dead for long enough to trigger a new Slayer somewhere else. The game would not be set concurrent with the current Season 8/9 comics; in fact, I'd probably roll back the years a bit and start it around shortly after the new millennium.
Setting:
The game would be set in a fictionalized version of Waterloo in southern Ontario, Canada, known for having several well respected universities and colleges, which gives it enough of a happening and transient population that it's fairly easy for the demonly-oriented to hide their habits.
Somewhere in the city will be a Hellmouth, but its location is not exactly common knowledge, so... I ain't saying yet.
Cast:
I'd be hoping for 1-2 Hero level characters, and 2-4 White Hat level characters. There's no requirement for anyone to be the Slayer, but that is a possibility.
I do have access to all the Buffy RPG books, as well as the Angel RPG Corebook, so all that material is in play if desired (barring the more "powerful" character template-ish things from the Angel book).
Preferably, all of the characters would be university students, faculty, or staff. It'd be a big help if the players could come up with ways that everyone knows at least some of each other beforehand, but I'm willing to work on that with the group.
Characters would not have to necessarily be aware of the supernatural world at the start of play, but given the genre, well, they'll need to learn fast.
Plot:
The game will be fairly episodic, but longer plot arcs will develop, and there will be an ongoing mix of little and big bads.
Anyone up for a patrol?
Edit: Recruiting is closed for now, unless people drop out.
