Spycraft: Project Duct Tape [OOC][Vacancy]

[Snowtiger]

If you are playing a human, apply the Human Racial Modifiers (from the Player’s Handbook) in addition to bonuses from Department Training. Non-human characters are possible, let me know if you’re interested.

Which Player's Handbook? Spycraft? Sorry for the confusion. Trying to find Human Racial Modifiers.

What types of non-human characters are available? Aliens or meta-humans?

Sorry I wasn't more specific... I mean the Human Racial Modifiers from the D&D core rule book titled "Player's Handbook." Specifically, +1 feat at first level, +4 skill points at first level, and +1 skill points per level after first.

There are several alien races that are active on earth - most disguised to look human. A few of these would be playable as PCs... there are also a variety of alien languages that could be known by PCs. I'll have a list of some sort up later today. Because the aliens are home-brew, if you're intested in a particular special ability for your character we can most likely create an alien race that fits.

I have a player in my current table-top game (who trusts me a lot) who has let me make his character a race which is unknown to him - at each new level I tell him what things his alien heritage has given him... it's very cool but does require a lot of faith on the part of the player.

Please do not look at this attachment if your character does not belong to the Alpha Beta Foundation or one of its subsidiaries.

Tanstaafl,

just a question:

Is this going to be more like

a) MIB

or

b) Alien Nation / Spacecop LA (at least in flavour)?


Thanks in advance,

Folkert

I'm not really familiar with Alien Nation or Spacecop LA... the game will be a little bit like MIB in flavor but also a little bit like the early seasons of X-Files. Not quiet as comic-booky as MIB and nowhere near as serious as X-Files.

Hope that helps.

Hmm, really shows my age.

In fact, I've never seen MIB or even a single episode of X-Files.


Before I commit, how often do you expect us to post?

The character I was thinking of would be a somewhat ninja-like
soldier.

... or mine!

3-5 times per week, once the game starts.

That would be okay; because of the investigative nature of the game I'd advise you to have at least one non-combat specialty.

Snowtiger & GWolf: go ahead and put a stat block together for your agents whenever you're ready...

Hurricaine: still interested?



I'd like to have at least one more player for this game... I can run it with fewer if that becomes nessissary.

Ok. I'll work one up. Do you have a preferred start date for the mission?

 

[Tanstaafl]

Summer of 2003...

The time frame is the present, in the generic movie-setting use of the term. Real world events most likely will not influence the game.


Also, your characters can be from anywhere but will all be pulled together in San Fransicso for the first Serial of the first Season.
