[QUOTE="DammitVictor, post: 7374132, member: 6750908"] So... beyond the survey questions, thought I'd answer in specific. I'm running three games right now. The first, a play-by-post game on Myth-Weavers, is [i]Marvel Heroic Roleplaying[/i] based on Marvels [i]eXiles[/i] comics with influence from [i]Xtreme X-Men[/i] and [i]Spider-Verse[/i]: player characters are all "semi-original", based on canon characters (or children/clones/etc of canon characters) from [i]alternate timelines[/i] with their datafiles altered to match. (Current roster is Detective Remy LeBeau of the NOPD (Gambit), Commodore May Parquagh of the HMS [i]Mayhem[/i] (April Parker of 1623), Cosmo (think of a cross between Kingpin and Nick Fury as the top cop in Mos Eisley), and Otto "Doctor Infinity" Octavious-- Peter Parker's best friend and crimefighting partner, until he joined the Avengers. First mission was simple-- destroy Red Onslaught to free the world from his Cerebro-enhanced mind control. Second mission, in progress, is to find Patient Zero of the Wendigo epidemic to figure out why there are suddenly [i]thousands[/i] of Wendigo attacks all across the Earth. Got plans for the third and fourth, where they will meet their "Weapon X" equivalents-- another team like them, that gets the dirtier and more dangerous jobs. Core of that team is Peter Parker, Director of SHIELD; a reformed Kaine who raised his young niece to follow in her father's footsteps; and a maverick Deathlok made out of Frank Castle immediately following Central Park. The second is my [i]Shroompunk[/i] game using the [i]Barbarians of Lemuria[/i] rules: sword & sorcery action, in a world based on equal parts [i]Nintendo Power[/i] and [i]Heavy Metal[/i]. Game is episodic in nature, featuring the same characters in different adventures without any real continuity, and I am [i]really[/i] making an effort to turn the sex and violence up to Robocop-R levels. We're going to be streaming it on Twitch. First session was roughly based on Howard's [i]Tower of the Elephant[/i], with the Tortle Knight trying to turn the local Governor against the Emperor, my brother's oversexed Kong gladiator serving as the Duke's champion, and a Human assassin and a sorcerer/thief trying to play their respective trades on the Duke and the Duke's sealed tower, respectively. Featured a [i]hilarious[/i] erotic social duel between the Kong and the sorceress as they tried to counter-seduce each other for cross purposes; everyone voted them the best players of the session. Nobody got paid that time, making next session's Advancement easier. Next story is based on [i]Jack and the Beanstalk[/i]. Third game is the same setting as the second, toned way [i]way[/i] the hell down for my daughter's nephews. They're in the middle of their first session, based loosely on Howard's [i]Rogues in the House[/i] with a Tortle cloudcar pilot, a Vegepygmy assassin, and a Human thief. [/QUOTE]
