The man with the probe
I'm wondering if there's any interest in a Weapons of the Gods PbP game. If there's enough interest, I might run one (Or play if someone else is realy interested in running one).
This would be a game using the Weapons of the Gods system, not one emulating the comics specificly (Not having ever read the comics myself)
It's a early chinesse Kung Fu/Wuxia martial arts system by EOS Press. The book is coming back from the printers, but the PDF or at least parts of it have been available for a while, and I have the Gen Con edition (Full PDF, book coming in the mail.)
There are Warriors, Scholars, and Courtiers, and while all use martial arts, Scholars and Courtiers get additional techniques beyond the warriors (Magical or social, depending). However, if you want to shoot fire from your blade, chill people that you hit, etc, those are Warrior techniques.
RPG Now has the Book of Wood, which is character generation and much of the basic martial arts. Or you can purchase the PDF and book from EOS press (they still have the buy the book, get the PDF free deal going, check the forums). The EOS Site also has several usefull downloads.
Caracter Creation: Standard starting (50 Destiny, 15 Attributes, 30 Skills). You can use the Character Generator, do it yourself, or have me help/create a character.
Game Style: I'm probably going more for B-Movie Hong Kong action film style, particularly because not only is my knowledge of the era limited, but so is my knowledge of the game. I'll make it a bit tongue in cheek, though serious enough to give it some fun appeal, and we'll all have fun. And any game mechanic error will be called "Editing Mistakes"
Campaign Goal: Mostly to have fun and experiment with the game mechanics a bit, which will make for an interesting PbP. (See Editing Mistakes comment)
Campaign Starting Point: The Bei clan is having their anual tournament. While it is an open tournament, there are 2 levels. Previous competitors, and Newcomers. You all, having never entered before, are hoping to win the prestigious newcomer tourny, and win fame, honor, and perhaps a chance to learn with the Bei clan.
