Gaming W/Jemal: Mutant Rising OOC (Game has started!)

[Jemal]

Allright, something has just come to my attention.

I need to know under what circumstances your characters will use their hero points. IE: "If i roll X on a save", etc, so I can use them for you when writing my posts if it's applicable, b/c once something's posted I'd rather not Retcon it.

 

[Mark Chance]

When & How would depend entirely on who/what your character is and when it's done. I have a few ideas on how to write in new characters allready, but as I said, it would depend on the character.

Well, right now I'm considering a cross between John Nash and Tempest from the Doom Patrol.

Also the bribes help*cough cough*

If the players roll their own "dice" (say, via Invisible Castle), they can make that decision on the fly more or less like during a face-to-face game. I've done this before via PbP, and it seemed to work.

Players do roll their own dice, except for reactions that I need to know to post round summaries (Such as saves), to expediate things.

As to the character concept - So you're a flying, energy-blast shooting, delusional genius?

Will post an IC update after work if I'm not too tired. If I am, Update will be after sleep.

Ah. What I'm doing in my games is just giving the players the DC to beat with their save and having them roll and work in the results on their next post. It takes some of the mystery out of things, but it helps keep the game moving a bit more.

As a very rough draft, yes. I like Tempest's medical doctor background better than the brillian mathematician angle, plus I have a soft spot for doctor heroes. I'm thinking that his delusional-ness has exacerbated his life to the extent where's he's basically homeless.

I'll be out of town next week, from sunday on to probably friday or even saturday. Should have internet access but I should also be busy as a bee. i.e expect some serious slowdown in posting rate from the bind-meester until I get back. Sorry about that people.

Jemal: I've not actually bailed on posting a character. It's just been a busy week at work and home. My ideas have been percolating, and I'm going to start fiddling with the numbers soon enough.

MMMMM/.... nothing like a slow-roasted PC, percolated to perfection... is that a mountain roast I smell?

IC update Pending

BTW Mark, just tell me when you're close to being ready so I can figure a way to post you in at whatever point we happen to be at.
