RPG Application
Screenname of the Proposed RPGs Game Master: Master Bruce
Do You Have An Instant Messenger that we can reach you on for better conversation? (i.e MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ect.) And if so, what is your screenname?: allstarbatman - Yahoo, [email protected] - MSN
Gamemasters/Assistant Gamemasters already chosen: byrd man
How will the overall layout of the RPG be?: The RPG would have two main GM's (myself and byrd), and lightly guided by us. The players would definately have a big part in the plotting and planning, aswell as how they choose to play their characters. It would be an ongoing RPG, but somewhat of a one-shot in concept. What I mean is... with every new Season, there would be a change in decades. It would start with the late-1950's, but Season II would be set in the 1960's, with Season III set in the 1970's, and ending there with a "Crisis" type of storyline, since that would be the end of the Silver Age. So in turn, the RPG would have a set start and end, but it would go through seasons to get to that end. If that makes sense.
Premise of RPG, if it is a user created RPG see below for applicable additions to this Applicaton, (Must be a paragraph or longer):
In an age of technological breakthrough and in a world where worldwide war is still a new concept to humankind, there exists a breed of hero once thought imaginative, and once feared by a confused and panicked society in the wake of World War II. In the midst of the arrival of these strange and superpowerful heroes, Lex Luthor, a brilliant criminal mastermind and scientific genius, seeks to conquer the society of which he has watched from afar from adolecence, preying upon the capitivating public with a set of experimental, and perhaps deadly doomsday devices that could prove to be mankind's downfall. Couped with sinister villains such as the Nazi war criminal, The Red Skull, aswell as criminals such as The Riddler, Giganta, Brainiac, Deadshot, and Captain Cold, Luthor's goals seem imminently plausible and destructive, bringing a possible end to civilised society. But there is hope yet, as such up-and-coming marvels as The Superman of Metropolis, Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder of Gotham City, The Flash of Central City, The Wonder Woman of Themyscara, The Green Lantern of OA, The teenage demi-god Captain Marvel, The Sub-Mariner and Aquaman of Atlantis, and The Human Torch of New York band together to stop Luthor and The Legion of Doom's dastardly plans. But how long will it take before more equally as courageous heroes, and more equally as sinister villains, emerge from an age of superpowerful astonishment? The age of heroes has dawned.
What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences): I think, most obviously, this RPG would bring us a new experience, in treading upon the retrospective of the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's, with iconic heroes we've all come to know in a modern time. I also like to think that this idea would bring a unique challenge to many of the great writers here, as there are few, if any RPG's that would offer this level of imaginative and historical relevance.
Title Of The RPG You Would Like To Propose: The "Age Of Wonder: DC & Marvel" RPG
Example Of Characters Application: For the first season, many DC heroes such as Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, The Green Lantern (Hal Jordan or Alan Scott), The Green Arrow, Speedy, Aquaman, and The Flash (Jay Garrick or Barry Allen) would be availible. And if do-gooding isn't your cup-o-tea, there would be villains such as Lex Luthor, Bizarro, The Joker, Mirror Master, Captain Cold, Dr. Zero (Mr. Freeze), Brainiac, The Floronic Man, The Riddler, The Scarecrow, The Catwoman, The Penguin, Two-Face, Metallo, and Firefly, among others. On the Marvel side of things, it'd be very limited for the first season, but there would be characters such as The Human Torch, The Sub-Mariner, and The Red Skull.
The second season, however, based in the 60's, would offer the debut of such characters as The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, The Justice League Of America, Spider-Man, Daredevil, and various other, more well known and admired Marvel characters. It'd just be a matter of being patient for these characters to become unlocked and availible for play. I'd start the RPG at the 60's period, so these would be availible, but that wouldn't provide for an authentic Silver Age experience. Which is what I'd hope this RPG to bring.
