So Ends Civilization(Recruiting) [Storyteller]

[Agamon]

One of the problems to get around if we do go modern (and yes, I would definitely pilliage DnD for equipment lists) is weapon proficiencies. In modern, all the weapons that would be relevant would be covered by one feat (Archaic Weapon's proficiency). And with the level system it'd be at least awhile before people were able to pick it up, and it would pretty much force everyone to take the same feat at 3rd level. I prefer the more generic Brawl/Weaponry/Firearms(including projectile weapons) skills from WOD, I could just assess a -1 or -2 for awhile till people are more familiar.

You could always drop the Modern weapon feats for something more like D&D (unarmed/simple/martial/exotic). That would take modding the classes as well as the weapon lists, though.

If WoD fits the game concept better, I'm happy to go that route.

The game will start shortly before things change. I would hope that you guys would form a group, since on your own there wouldn't be much hope for survival. I'm not quite sure where I am going to start you guys off, but most likely it will be in the mid-west.

Agamon, I wouldn't neccessarily have to do away with the family. Holding on to what you can, and then working towards the future is going to be a major theme of the game. I like the concept. You are right about money being useless though.

I'm as newbie as you can get, so I dunno if my vote means much, but I'd prefer the newest WoD system ("nWoD"). I think it would require less tweaking than D20 Modern.

A character idea: a 39 year old high school woodworking teacher, who recently moved into the area from the west coast. A strong, silent, trustworthy type, excellent with hands-on types of things but a bit lacking intellectually.

Name him Ness, and his wife should be Paula.

>_>

I almost didn't get that. I assume Paula should be good with a frying pan...

Cool. He'd be pretty bitter about the money, though he wouldn't be completely shallow.

I kinda saw it as maybe a survival-type game, where a family would kinda get in the way. But if you think it's work, then alrighty.

My concept would be burnt out slacker musician, on the cusp of greatness in his mind, living in his parent's garage.

Probably the kind of guy that is always between jobs.

I would be interested in this setting. I'm equally familiar/unfamiliar with D20 Modern and WoD2 so either rules set would be fine with me.

My character concept would be a thespian with hobbies of hunting and fishing.

Really like Stirling's work. My sentiments run towards Mike and the Bearkillers. I'm hoping the library will have 'The Protector's War' by the time I get back from vacation.

Said vacation will be from Aug 18th thru Sep 5th. Hope this won't prevent me from joining this game, but will understand if it does.

It is survival, but hopefully it wont be just immediate surviva, but thats up to you guys.

That sounds good, I don't think the vacation will be too much of a problem. My sentiments are more with the Bearkillers myself. I just don't like all the mysticism from the Makenzies, I don't really intend to have that going on. I'm glad that someone else has read the books and understands some of the problems that might come up, at least out of character.

I am thinking about starting the game in the Missouri area. It'll take some further thought on the matter.

Sounds vaguely ok so far.
