Sure, I'll save you a spot. Anything for a fellow Sactown 4CtF fan. Look for the post this week. I'll have to check, but I think I've already promised ~4 of the 6 or 7 spots I'm going for.

Well since so many spots are promised, perhaps just use this as the registration thread? If so...sign me up too

Here's the complete roster:

1 - Krizzel
2 - KitanaVorr
3 - reapersaurus
4 - Caliber
5 - Dalamar
6 - Sollir Furryfoot
7 - Keia
8 - mirthcard

Oh, and to recap the setting info for those that missed it:

My inclination so far is to have the game set in my native Orange County, CA. For those not familiar with OC, it's the county in-between LA and San Diego counties.

The Irvine Corporation and Disney Entertainment, in an effort to protect property values and tourism revenue, respectively, have jointly hired their own superteam, having tired of supervillians attacking OC and the slow - if any - response from the superteams in LA and SD. Only able to draw "second rate" supertalent, the companies must settle for 6th level PCs.

Officially named the Disney-Irvine Metahuman Response Unit, the press has tagged them the Suburban Seven, a nickname the team has wholeheartedly embraced. From their secret headquarters beneath Disneyland's Space Mountain, the Suburban Seven watch over Orange County.

I know the area, so that's an advantage. And for interesting adventure locations, there's Edison Field (home of the Anaheim Angels), the Pond (home of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim), Disneyland and Disney's California Adventures, Knott's Berry Farm, and my alma matter the University of California, Irvine. Plus, the team can always be sent to help out the big clubs in LA and SD.

I'll get more setting info and CharGen guidelines up in a new thread in the next couple of days.

LOL! It sounds like this is going to be really fun, Garyh, I've been to Los Angeles and the surrounding areas several times (mostly to visit some relatives), so I have a little experience with that region. I'll start working on some char concepts today

Glad you like the idea, Sollir!! I'm really looking forward to this game.

I must admit, I got some inspiration from Horacio's Golden Apple Rescue Squad story hour. It's good stuff, and everyone should check it out on sheer principle.

Oh, and a note to everyone - characters don't have to be from OC/SoCal, though they certainly can be and I can help you with info if you like. This team can be recruited nationally - perhaps even internationally.

 

[Keia]

I would like an opportunity to play in the supers game as well - if there's a spot still open.

Better watch out....you might get VoRR-smacked for something like that

As for me, I have no idea what character I want to play yet (big help there, I know ). I've got a ninja/gadget hero I used to play in Marvel Supers that I liked a lot, but I may go with something entirely different.

So...any suggestions? What kind of style are we going for here? I'm getting a little bit from your setting info, but I'm wondering about inspiration. Any comics you're going to be drawing from? Or should I just let the imagination run wild?

 

[Dalamar]

Still interested, thinking of an agility based hero. Maybe a spider-man wannabe. Dunno just yet. But definately something with high Dex (or at least Dex bonus).

 

[Caliber]

For years now I've been tossing around the idea of a biologist who was combined and turned slightly into a "nature spirit" many years ago.

Not quite Swamp Thing, but he has some weird plant characteristics. Does things like makes plants entangle enemies and attack them and such.

Since I know nothing about the area, I was thinking he could originally be from another part of the company, and happened to get combined just around the time that he had the "accident."

Obviously I haven't done very much work here. If it sounds cool to you I will go ahead and start work on making him something more than doodles.
