APPLICATION: The Silver Age RPG!

[Eddie Brock]

Andy should get a goddamned* standing ovation for this concept. Not a single person can possibly fool themselves into thinking that this is not the most intricate set-up for any RPG, ever, period.



*Or, to get in character, a gosh darn! t:

 

[Blacklight]

I have a character in mind that I think I'll use in here.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Question: do we know what the year is, exactly?

It makes a difference on what year my character graduates from high school.

I know your character is Mayor, but is he also a superhero?

I answered that a page or so back. It must have gotten lost amidst the updates.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Wow...I just finished a preliminary application...and that's not even with the sample post!

 

[Byrd Man]

****, man. This is scaring me. I don't know if I can put in the effort to even post an app. That's why I liked the Hype RPGs to begin with, no stats.

Yeah, but look at it this way:

With stats, someone can't just...chuck asteroids at everyone, for instance. (That's a random example, by the way. ) Well...not at first, anyway.

Thank god. Did you read my latest BL post. There was a little stab at Asteroid-man that I thought was funny.

...I'm seriously thinking about requesting an separate sub forum for this RPG if we get a large set of people wanting to play...

Which I *really* hope we do or Andy might go postal on us after all the hard work he's put into this.

P.S. I just *love* that you put flashlights as level one..'cause really I never think about Flashlights when I RPG ^_^

Edit: One thing as the approver one as a player

1) You're going to need a AGM or two who's as committed to you are with this and whom you trust implicitly. I might have missed you picking one but before this get's approved I want you to have one. This is for your own sanity, trust me ^_^

As a player:

2) How broad a spectrum do the classes involve? For instance my character does not fit into any of those classes to begin with, do I name what she will gradually become? And if so and her focus shifts can I change her class?

I kinda want to keep the year sorta vague so as to have that sort of 'timeless' quality to it. But for all intents and purposes, it's 1960.

Yeah, I'm definitely on the lookout for AGMs. Problem is, I'm not really sure who to ask. Most of the really dedicated folks are already busy running other RPGs, and I don't know who would be willing to shuffle priorities for a new project like this. Plus, I'm still a bit of a newbie around here, and don't quite feel like I'm "one of the guys" just yet, so I'm still getting oriented to the community.

The Classes are meant to cover broad strokes; someone like Spider-Man, for example, could count as a Champion, a Gadgeteer, or even a low-level Powerhouse or Speedster. I'll admit that there were a few Classes I wanted to add in (like a martial artist/acrobat Class) but couldn't figure out how to work it into the game system. So I'm still open for suggestions.

And while you can't just completely drop your current Class if you want to shift focus, you can add Levels into a second Class to build up whatever direction you want to take. There are other in-character ways to work around that (say, getting your brain implanted into a different body), but for the most part, it's a matter of Levelling the character up.

Good. Then my timeframe still fits.

Well, there's been some discussion of certain things that might help you out a bit there. ^_^

Take your time, no rush at all.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Vauge A.D.?

Vauge A.D.?

Totally missed whatever reference that's supposed to be.

 

[Andy C.]

Still looking for potential AGMs. If anyone wants to volunteer, I'd really appreciate if you'd speak up.

If I only I had the time, dude...

...sorry.

 

[Byrd Man]

So, Andy. Could you give me an example of a ordinary post in the RPG including stats and such? I mean, do we use the stats when RPing or what?

I don't think we use them IC, persay. But you refer to them (OOC) when fighting someone.

That way, if someone's a Level 1, they can't just go, "Ha! Asteroid in your face! You lose automatically! I'm awesome!"

Who are you and what have you done with Byrd?

[Eddie Brock]

Hmmm...1960...my character was born in Philadelphia...

I believe an eventual reference to the Eagles' NFL Championship is in order.

 

[Andy C.]

....still looking for AGMs....kinda can't do this without one...
