edit: If your new and interested just jump to the end of the thread and ask away, you just have to read the introduction in this post.
Giant-Size X-Men 1
Birth of the "New X-Men". The original X-Men, together with Havoc and Polaris, have traveled to the island of Krakoa but of all the original member only Cyclops has returned and he remembers nothing of the experience.
To safe his students Professor X sends out a telepahtic message to seven mutants:
Nightcrawler,
Thunderbird,
Colossus,
Sunfire,
Wolverine,
Storm,
Banshee
The new X-Men where born. they safed the original Team and took their place as the worlds Nr. 1 Mutant superheroes. With time some of the original member returned, while new member joined or old ones (like Thunderbird) died.
But what if it had all been different?
What if Charles Xavier had not called on these seven for help? Even at that time there where dozens of suitable candidates around. What if he had called your characters instead?
A game of all new, all different X-Men.
Will others take the same steps as Storm and the others did? Or will history change. Will Sprite join the team? Will the Phoenix Force find its host in Jean Grey? If Angel isn't around, who will become the first rider of Apocalypse?
Will you be able to stop Magneto? Will Charles Xaviers dream ever be the same?
And what of Storm, Colossus and the others? If they are not called by Professor X and never become X-Men, what will they do? Will Nightcrawler even survive the witch hunt that's after him? Will Storm stay as a godess in Africa? Will Wolverine lead Alpha flight?
You will find answers to all these question in this brand new and excitin AU series of the MARVEL universe.
Game information:
This game will be set in the Marvel Universe and use the M&M rules.
I will take four to six characters. All characters have to be Mutants and the game will asume that these are the people Charles Xavier called together to be the new X-Men in "Giant Sized X-Men 1". The story will start with them getting sent to Krakoa to save the original X-Men and go on from there. At first it will hold close to the Uncanny X-Men series but the more the characters do different than in the origianal comic books, the more the universe and the future will change, and the stories with them.
More stuff you should know:
-This will not be a first come, first serve basis. I will choose the players and characters I think fit best into the game.
-Posting speed will go from three to four a week to daily depnding on my schedule. Players should be able to post at least three times per week the least. The game is intended to last a while so please don't join if you don't plan to keep PBP games as your hobby for the near future.
-I will not accept players who refuse to get along with their fellows or intrude into their character concepts. That's one of the few ways to get thrown out of the game real fast. Of course ingame bikering is absolutly fine.
-Characters will start at PL 8 and should have a clear cut power theme. I think you all know enough Marvel characters to know what I mean.
You get 2 skill points for each Powerpoint spent on them.
-Character don't have to wear flashy costumes, we will just asume Prof X got the drift a little earlier and handed them something less funny
Off course, if you like you can be as colourfull as you want.
-Keep in mind that the game will be about a Team, we don't need people who are Pilots/Super dangerous martial artists and geniuses at the same time.
-The game will pretty much ignore the time frame. At the start we will asume it is a little in the past but like the comic books we won't care who is president right now or what happens in world politics so it won't matter. Afterall the X-Men are still in their twentys after all these years...
-I know tons of stuff about the X-Men and their various spin of series and have at least scratch knowledge of all other Marvel heroes but still their might be some mistakes so don't start throwing stones at me in that case. But by all means please tell me. There the X-Men are concerned getting the complete history is an old hobby of mine.
-The "dying game syndrome". In my short experience here I saw 90% of the games I joined die cause the GM just stopped posting (some had good reasons..). If nothing really special happens in my life that won't happen here. I might post slowly for times but as long as my players stay with me the game will go on (see Mutant High for an example of that).
edit:
more game information:
rules: I will use only the core book and the errata of M&M (see Bro Shatterstones link above)
I will also use the optional rules of creative editing and Skill Points (meaning you gain 2 Skill points for each power point spent)
Normaly the rule of "Massive Damage" will not be used but it applies in fights with major villains or critical end-battles. You will allways know then a scene like that starts 'cause the thread will be marked with "Final Combat". So you allways know then it gets hot. Ususaly that is the page you recognize from the cover of the issue
edit 2: Be warned your character should be well enough built so that they are still intersting without their powers. Unlike in other superhero series I've ever read characters in X-Men sometimes loose their powers or have them changed. It is not likely to happen but it can and will probably at some time to at least one character. So don't cry me a river that you didn't know up front.
well I'm sure I forgot tons of stuff but that's life. Just write if you're interested or got any questions.
