Hi all.
I don't have time to run a d20 game at the moment and I had to regretfully shelve one i was running because of time constraints. However I do want to run something and the rules light Tri-Stat system seems to offer me the chance to do it without sacrificing to much time.
The Setting:
Nocturne City
Think DC Universe Gotham City in the Modern Style (ie the current era). You're basically vigilantes (relatively inexperienced). Within the above genre constraints you're free to flesh out the city and its personalities as desired in your backgrounds. (I do reserve veto rights though). You can choose if you know other characters, if your character is new to the City or a local, etc.
The Mechanics:
The Game: Tri-Stat Silver Age Sentinels (The dice shall be d10)
Quick Start rules (basically all you need to generate a character if you don't have the books can be found here: http://www.guardiansorder.com/downloads/ (under Silver Age Sentinels Fast Play rules).
128 Character Points (Advancement up to the more usual 150-175 CP range is likely to be *reasonably* rapid). I will be assigning up to 3 background points as per usual for background history/important character story/character pictures/etc.
Skill Groups option is used instead of skill points. (You've been credited the 3 extra CP that are normally allocated for 30 skill points).
The following additional skill groups are added to cover combat skills which are relatively important in this genre, each group covers both attack and defence in its area:
Ranged 2 CP/Level
Unarmed 2 CP/level
Melee 2 CP/level
Gun 2 CP/level
Heavy Weapons 2 CP/level
Energy Points will not be used.
The Notes:
Please bear in mind the Vigilante theme, although I will not bar superhuman characters please keep characters in the DC Gotham genre as opposed to Marvel X-men. (ie Azrael is okay, so is a fairly low level magic user like Jason Blood without Etrigan, Professor Xavier and Superman are not.)
Also I will not explicitly bar Gun and Heavy Weapon skill groups but do bear the above in mind.
Apart from that you have free range.
Everyone is free to present a concept or full character (if like me you prefer to flesh out mechanics first) and I'll be taking the 4 concepts and backgrounds I like best. Anyone else will go on a reserve in order of my preference. However if you are interested feel free to drop a statement of interest so that I know that people are interested rather than thinking its dead.
