Silver Bullets OOC

Imerak

First Post
Well, the final results of my poll are in, and it turns out that my PbP game will be run under d20 Modern. I'm looking for 4-6 players. Without further ado, here's the details of my campaign:

Campaign Premise

The heroes (who may, or may not, actually be heroic) are people who have, for one reason or another, acquired fame or notoriety for their skills. They may not be known to the general public, but their talents have come to the attention of a mercenary organization known as the Silver Bullets.

The characters are the latest recruits of the Silver Bullets. They are a large organization of mercenaries who are known for having many unique solutions, thus their name. They have been hired by governments, criminals, and everything in between. The work is usually dangerous, but the pay is at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a job.

This campaign takes place in the year 2005 (so no real technological advancements, but far enough in the future that I can make stuff up.) There are no magical or psionic powers in this world, but it is a cinematic version of Earth so characters can often pull off the impossible.

House Rules

This game is run under a "trust" system. Players make their own die rolls (unless the roll should be kept secret, in which case I make it), and record the results in their post in which they attempt the action. Related rolls, such as an attack's damage or the number of hours it takes to do a Research check, should be included as well.

As mentioned above, I am looking for 4-6 reasonably dedicated players. Characters start at 5th level, because they are assumed to have enough skill to draw the attentioin of the Silver Bullets. Characters start out with full Wealth bonus (before buying stuff), and the other benefits of being 5th level. Abilities are formed with 28-point point buy, not including the stat point they gained at 4th level.

This campaign uses only the core d20 Modern book, because that's all I have at the moment.

If you are interested in this campaign, please post below.

New Game

I'm new to Pbp games, but I'd certainly be interested in a d20 Modern game.
Do you still need players? If so, I'll post some ideas and then flesh them out into stats if they fit your campaign well.
 


Yes, Awakened, there is room for you. Don't worry about being new, I'm not exactly a veteran myself.

A few details while designing character concepts. The game will start with the characters being recruited, so you don't have to work that into your backstory. Secondly, you may place your character anywhere in the world you want...a multinational party is okay, and actually preferred. The city the game is based out of will be revealed later
 

I think I'll play the 'reluctant antihero with inner demons' type as a third level fast/second level infiltrator. Let me know if anyone else has started a similiarly skilled hero. I think I'll roll him up now. Ahh I love the familiar tingle of a new PC...
 

This is what I have so far.

Do you think the Silver Bullets could need a woman able to *a-hem* distract the enemies and gather (or steal) important informations? An Charlie's Angels-like charismatic hero? If they do, they found the chick for the job! :)
LOL

No really, does that kind of character fits your idea of the campaign?
Otherwise, if we're more of a paramilitar organization, I can be anything from your trusted hacker to your crazy daredevil.
 

Really, any type of character is fine. As the name suggests, the Silver Bullets pride themselves on having a wide variety of agents available. Although many of their jobs are combat-based, "negotiators" are useful too.

--------------------------------------------
Following the theme of getting stuff done in a wierd way, I gave Cyrus infiltrator levels so he can use a chair like a club and a cup of paperclips like a submachine gun. Still working on his background, should have it up soon. By the way, should he have two action points starting out (half level) or five (starting game)?
