Message: <blockquote data-quote="Death_Jester" data-source="post: 2184023" data-attributes="member: 2156">Hello Everyone, For the last few months I have been working on a campaign in the Superhero genre.  Ever since the superhero movies started coming out a few years ago, running a dark comic book style campaign has been on my mind.  Now that I have done my homework (in other words reread all of my old favorite comics) what I'm looking for is a group of players willing to dedicate some time to role playing and providing feedback for the GM.  I'm hoping to find about 5 regular players to join me and my wife for a game every other Saturday evening.  Play time will be around 5-6pm and should run no later than 1am.  Since the game will deal with adult themes and subject matter I would prefer for people interested in joining the game be over 21 years of age. Ideally I would like to find an even mix of male to female gamers and try to create atmosphere where everyone is comfortable enough to get into character. As a GM I’m all about trying to make a story with the players as the stars of the show - giving them the freedom to explore the world and get to know and care about each other.   It is my sincere hope to capture some of the magic that you would feel while watching your favorite movies or television shows.  It is the moments when things work out like those stories that the game, and my little part of it, is truly the best.  I like the role-playing aspects of the game.  Well-developed and –played characters are necessary to prevent it from becoming a glorified war game.  However, role-playing isn’t the only aspect of the game I like, because the genre also is about fighting the good fight and that means, combat!  There will be fights and bad guys to defeat and they will try to beat you up as well.  The combat has to have a context and that is what I love to do, give you a reason to kick butt.  For me combat is something that moves the plot along and gives the players something to overcome.  My combats are a little hard at times but if the players look out for each other, then there shouldn’t be much to worry about. A little about me: I am in my late 30’s and have been playing for over 20 years total.  Only recently have I taken up the mantle of GM again but I can assure you that the games I run are far from rusty.  When a game goes well I get something from it, an indefinable joy of having entertained people.  I imagine my favorite storytellers get the same kind of joy from seeing people really getting into what they do knowing that people appreciated it.  For example, when I watched the end of Babylon 5 it was awesome seeing how everything came together and was sad to see it end.  It is my sincere hope that the people that respond to this have the same temperament.   In general I only have one real rule about gaming and that is the rules must serve the story and not the other way around. So anyone wanting to get more information about the game I am going to run or the system please feel free to drop me a line at <a href="mailto:michael_hawlmoon@yahoo.com">michael_hawlmoon@yahoo.com</a> for more information.  I look forward to hearing from you soon.</blockquote>
