[QUOTE="Guilt Puppy, post: 900876, member: 6521"] Just a friendly bump, and some more info: - First, I'm not entirely intent on DMing the game, so if there's someone who'd prefer to, I'm all ears. - Second, despite the use of d20 modern (which is rules-heavy), I want to run the game as rules-light as possible -- that is, improvising task resolutions, and fudging/ignoring results if you guys do cool stuff. Basically, be as free-form as possible, focused on letting the characters be as cool as possible, rather than focusing on the rules. The rules are just there for task resolution, to keep the game from becoming too subjectively based. You definitely will not need to own the rulebook. - Third, thinking 4th level rather than second now... Just so you can have decent powers that are still in proportion to the powers of a normal 4th level character. That, and you get some more hit points to work with :) Also, when we get around to working out some basics for the classes, feel free to include "unveiled" powers -- stuff that they don't discover they even possess the potential for until later levels. - Fourth, I'm looking for 3-6 players. Don't think I can keep track of more than six. - Fifth, I had originally planned to have an NPC bring you together, but I don't like overusing powerful NPCs (especially if they're recurring), so I would need someone to take up the leadership role. It goes to the first person who wants it, basically, with one contingent: They must provide a reason for going out and finding allies to band together. - Sixth, since I'm not 100 percent dead set on the rules yet, all I'm asking for is a character concept: What their special power is, where it came from, where [i]they[/i] came from. Mystery is fine, so long as you state it. Hoping somebody's interested :) If you have any suggestions or preferences that would change this, let me know... [/QUOTE]
