Okay this is something I've helped to do before, and played, while on another message board, but the idea or at least the system, has been redefined as it use to use straight d20 Modern... I believe there is a better system(s) out their and even though my system was rejected by the this poll as was discussed in this thread Here I want to run this game. So I'm now running it with the spycraft d20 system and rules.

What I need from you
I'm looking for people who are familiar with both GI Joe and spycraft, but mainly the former. I'm very new to this system; in fact my books are still in the mail. If you’re looking just for spycraft type game I'm not sure if this will be for you as:

GI Joe is the codename for American's daring, highly trained special mission force. It's purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra-a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

Translation: The odds will not be pretty and will almost certainly never be in your favor, but it should be fun. :)

I don't expect recruiting to ever stop and this might be end up being the main thread for that, and other mission OOC threads pop up here and their as needed. So if you see a good list of characters drop and recruit your favorites.

I’m also looking for people who would also want to GM/DM a GI Joe pbp and not just play, they wouldn't get much if any favorable treatment, but they would be first in line to help with house rules and the creation of the major cobra bad guys. Also If I find one other GM/DM than I get to play at the very least. :D Also more DM/GM would mean that those that had missed out on earlier mission would get to play while not having to wait for my game to finish as I expect this to be sort of popular, or so I hope so. *fingers crossed*


There are more than 135 Joes just from 1982-1990 that would be playable so there are more then enough for everyone. (Note: only one established Joe per a person but I will be allowing a secondary at this time.)

Also if we get enough GMs/DMs I expect that people will get an old childhood dream, a GI Joe they designed on their own. (With this system I think any established Joe will be a PL 10, and the “homegrown” or “green shirts” will be a PL 8 or PL9. I do this so that established Joes will not be devalued, but your green shirt will advance and could pass established Joes in PL eventually.


Note: I'm still remodeling this space, hence the old out of date poll. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask but please note that their is still allot of stuff that’s not finial and small changes might happen.

And no I don't have a clue what the first mission will be. :D

PS Ignore the poll. I'm also trying to get it removed. :)

Real Joes and their players

All the Joes created by Hasbro are unique; hence a players list for them has been formed. When you claim your primary and your secondary please distinguish them for me in some manner, example:


Brother Shatterstone, Torpedo, Salvo

In the above manner my primary is bold, failure to do this can lead to heartache, as I will assume that the first one listed is your primary.


Name; Primary / Secondary
BS; Torpedo / Salvo
Grayh; Rock n' Roll / Stalker
Samurai Jack31; Beach Head / Dusty
Mordhiem; Tripwire / Backblast
Duzzard; Lowlight / Recoil
Douane; Spirit / Rip Cord
Roy; Falcon / Duke
Snakesau; Sci-Fi / Shockwave
Nuke261; Tunnel Rat / Mercer
blackshirt5; Hit & Run / Law and Order
NekoAli; Scarlett
Keia; Ambush / Red Spot

Snake eyes will be handled at a later time but if you want him please state as such and pick two other characters

For those of you who are unsure of what Joes you want to play please take a look: here

All the filecard for all the Joes. :D

Alas, I do not have the books for SpyCraft. If someone would make me a PC, I'd play. :)
Mine are on order from FRP... I will need to read and head them and probably need a spycraft rules lawyer in the group (have you ever heard a rules lawyer requested? :rolleyes: ) but we will go that way it looks. You wanted Scarlett right? :p

But I don't have an issue with you not having the books. Hopefully everyone else will though. :)

Hey, Scarlet's a very deep character! ;)

Yeah, if I can outline what sort of character I want rules-wise and someone volunteer to make him/her for me, I'm happy to play.

(As an aside, I'm hoping another M&M game will start soon! Dang, that's an awesome system!)
