CDN 'Heroic' Roleplaying recruitment.

Ladies! Gentlemen! Others! I shall be running, on these very boards, a storyline of...well, reasonably impressive proportions. It shall feature violence, explosions, nanomachines (In B-Movie and vaguely realistic forms!) and, as the defining feature, the use of the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying system!

MHRP is a simple, modular system originally used to

If you want more details about the system, hit me up over irc or PMs. Alternately, buy a copy from a local bookstore.

The storyline will take place throughout the galaxy. We'll be opening with an attack within Zakera Ward (And C-Sec's response), and following up with incidents on up to two of the following, depending on who is interested: Noveria, Earth, Omega, Illium. If someone volunteers to Co-DM, we may be able to do more than two.

Characters outside of these regions may join, though there may be a slight delay until you can participate in the plot.

Your characters will not be killed if you join this plot, any character death will be after A) You say that your character can die if they're trauma'd out or B) You ask for your character to die during the plot. There is a serious possibility of failure, mind, so don't use that as an excuse to be a willfully blind murderhobo.

If you want to join either post interest, an MHRP sheet, or both. Event Milestones should be up before the end of the week. I am available on irc or via OldForum PMs if you'd like to ask questions about the system.

There's an example sheet here, and the MHRP thread has several sheets for reference purposes. All sheets are veto-able by me.

Currently:

We haven't started the plot yet. I could use some C-Sec characters to kick things off with a bang.

Consider me very interested. Need to get to work on a sheet but I'd like to participate in any way I can if possible.

Is there a place for a non action character like Bintar? Can he for example inflict psychological stress through manipulation, guile and politeness?

Emotional and Mental stress are both viable vectors in game, yes, though it's primarily meant for action.

I'd be interested, but will need to talk to you about what characters could participate.

I would also be interested, and will work on the character sheets.

Here are four additional character sheet examples.

Also, I may be interested in joining with Spiza, though it depends both on my other projects as well as who else is in the game.

Trying to figure out how to model space combat while preserving player agency.

In the meantime, have a thing for your game. More are coming.

Space Combat's gonna be difficult, yeah. I'm thinking have ships become powersets with Command as a specialty for large ships. Vehicle works just fine for smaller craft. Should work with minimal fuss.


Thanks!

Much like Spiza, I've got a couple character sheet examples of my own.

I'd also like to say I'm interested with either of my characters - at least, if I have the time and, uh, depending on the specifics of the roleplay.

This looks just like the thing for this grim raloi ex-operative.

Ho well :/ Bintar would be great in negociation and investigation, but not combat. Being polite at the enemy would get old fast. I may make a sheet anyway in case someone does some scenario with an investigation/social component.

And here we are.

Sandman

Edit: Have I mentioned that Steely is awesome? I feel like I haven't.

okay

since zoft hasn't put this up

our latest mhrp session features taking out the hulk with mental stress

using noise

and hanukkah carols

Yeah, sounds fun. What kinds of characters we looking for here?

...oh, so it could be just about anybody. Hmmm. Gonna want to make this one make SOME kind of sense...

Some Event Milestones for perusal:

Whose Side Are You On, Anyways?
You're playing so many sides in this conflict you're not entirely sure who you're working for anymore. Are you actually playing all sides for your personal gain? Have you just suffered brain damage? No-one knows! What is certain is that your alleigances are always shifting, publically or secretly, to the detriment of all around you.

1 Exp: You betray a side you've shown yourself as 'allied to'. This betrayal may be public or private.

3 Exp: Your constant betrayals causes one of the sides you're allied with to suffer a major setback.

10 Exp: Your true, actual allegiance is revealed with disastrous results, or you get away with your constant betrayals and successfully report to your shadowy true master.

Fucking Synths
Are AI truly sentients? Are they just fancy computers? Does a simulation of happiness really count as happiness? The galaxy may never know the answer to these questions, but you've made up your opinion: Synths are bastards. Each and every one.

1 Exp: You talk about the evil of Synths.

3 Exp: You are assisted by a Synth or use Synth-created assets to win a conflict.

10 Exp: You either admit that not all Synths are evil and begin to let go of your bigotry or double down of your hatred of Synthetics because of (or in spite of) events.

Agent of [REDACTED]
You've been contracted into this war by the ever-illusive [REDACTED] corporation. Their goals are unknown, their morality is dubious, their resources are surprisingly extensive, and, most importantly, they have access to something you desperately want.

1 Exp: You deliver information to [REDACTED]

3 Exp: You sabotage an ally or enemy in order to complete your obligation to [REDACTED]

10 Exp: You either complete your job for [REDACTED], gaining what you want from them, or you break ties, accepting that you won't be able to get what you need.

Orthrus Rises
Cerberus did not end with a broken organization, cracked by indoctrination and incompetence and failed experiments. Cerberus continued in dozens, hundreds of defectors, thousands of sympathizers, all dedicated to the cause of Human Supremacy. The remnants that created Orthrus aren't the bunch of megalomaniacal madmen, indoctrinated soldiers and ruinous projects that ran cerberus. Orthrus is a unified, efficient and ambitious group, made of men and women who are among the top in their fields. And you are among them.

1 Exp: Your actions earn you a commendation from your superiors in Orthrus.

3 Exp: You secretly sabotage other groups to further Orthrus's goals.

10 Exp: You hand Orthrus a great victory, ideally at the expense of alien powers, or decide that Orthrus is as bad as Cerberus and leave the organization.

Your second-favourite psychotic biotic

And the biotic that is ironically far more stable

And the one true quarian as well

As you know, I already stated my interest over IRC, but let me reiterate, yes, I'm very interested in joining this.

Like Steely and Spiza, I am tentatively interested depending on how things go.

Collar would be the character in question, as Jil'Korah has too many other projects going on already.
