Living Supers - General Discussion Thread

[Velmont]

Title should start with "LS: "

In you message, you can just start with a paragraph that tells that spoilers for teh game can be seen downward. Maybe, if it isn't a spoiler, just give a brief idea of what the mission will look like, even if it is only one word (heavily combat, Investigation, ect...) that will give an idea to the judge if he want to read the proposal or play the game.

For example, I'm a judge and I have one characater waiting, but he is not the best character for heavily combat, so I could wait for another, but he is made for an investigation type mission and I would like to join it.

You need two approval to go. I know that H4H and Salix have no characater in the ready loundge, so these two could easily look at it.

Thanks. I have just sent the proposal. I think it contains only one peice of information I would consider a spoiler, so potential players are welcome to read it.

Two more questions:

Has the text of Resolution 527 (or a summary of it) even been worked out. Is "to protect the world from those who would abuse their powers and threaten peace and prosperity in the world." a fair summary of the task force's mandate?

Is there a seperate aproval process for the release of peices of information which could have campaign or world wide significance?

Thanks.

Yeah, I'm not sure of that either. I would hope that the Resolution would be wisely worded so that Resolutes themselves are not very restricted by becoming members. On the part of the framers, this encourages more supers to join their side, even those who aren't lawful goody-two-shoes, and on the players' side, it lets you make those kinds of characters, since you are forced to be Resolutes.

By the way, there should be some characters coming in from the dying Iridium Con game on the 22nd. It'd be cool to get a good steady adventure for some or all of them if possible, since they've been trapped in a games that is stuck for exactly 7 months come the 22nd. I'd help, but one of them is my character, plus my second adventure requires my first adventure to finish and a lot of my players have vanished.

I'm thinking of maybe something happening to get rid of the AWOL characters so that the players who are still here can maybe somehow bring in some of the new recruits lounging in the lounge and get the game back on track.

I believe it is a fair mandate, though, like any government mandate, it's not likely to be the only use. But basicly, it's supers to stop supers from abusing normals. Beyond that, there's few limits of membership. Psyren could still record records and hold concerts for example, people can still own businesses, and beyond having a way to be contacted, it's a volunteer organization. Registering as a super will give you a wider latitude in using your powers, which is a benifit of the program though.

As for #2, what do you mean exactly? Short of campain placed limits or stories (Aliens/Meteor), just about anything is available. Things involving those would need to get judge approval before going beyond an idea.

Speaking of which--Psyren is a famous celeb, but she doesn't have the Benefit feat. I was looking at that for precedent because I was thinking Sierra might get starstruck at the Con and go into show business, so I figured Psyren would be precedent for whether or not I had to spend a point for the Benefit feat. It looks like the answer is that I could have her become a famous actress without paying for the feat, yes?

Doh'

yeah, that's probably something I should ad. I think I have a point floating around somewhere, or if not, I can redo a point I just advanced with.

But She has the disadvantage, so she has all the negitive perks of being famous, hense she's been ushered around by the UN on her free time, which hasn't always been what she'd like.

Yeah, I'm planning on giving Sierra a nice teleport to help her deal with this, which leads to a fun complication.

"Guys, it looks like you're winning against Doctor Dangerous's robots and...it's sort of 1:00, which means I have to Teleport out for a quick screening. Be right back!"

I'm going to make sure she can never Teleport the rest of the party though--I don't want the Teleport ability to be an adventure monkey wrench--I'm basically going to use it offscreen.

Thats what I meant, and what I was meaning to ask was is a seperate aproval proces for things like that? One judge responsible for all story line issues, or is it all rolled into the mission aproval process.
