Screenname of the Proposed RPGs Game Master: Batman
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, who shares an equal portion of credit for the concept, aswell.
How will the overall layout of the RPG be?: One Shot, a temporary version of a standard seasonal game - with one major difference. Between the beginning and end of the RPG's run, the time period would have shifted at least three years on two separate occasions.
Essentially, this RPG's story would begin in 1963, shift to 1966, and end in 1969 - bringing about significant changes to characters and continuity as time would drastically pass. The time shifts would be triggered by three major in-game events, based on player interaction and plot.
Players would be allowed a maximum of two characters. They can also apply for characters who didn't debut within the time period, such as The Punisher and Wolverine. They would simply need to be refitted to the era by the player. Continuity would not need to be strictly adhered to.
Premise of RPG: It is the year 1963, and America is sent into turmoil after the sudden and shocking assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Citizens are rioting, paranoia is at an all-time high, and division between races has never been stronger in the dawn of the mutant race. America needs a new breed of heroes, and if Sergeant Nick Fury of Division S.H.I.E.L.D. has his way, they're about to get them in the form of a task squad of elite soldiers: The Avengers.
But all of this serves as mere backdrop for coming events. In the bowels of space, a mysterious Silver Surfer has been gravely injured in an attempt to save the galaxy from extinction. With him is his tyrannical master's most powerful weapon - The Cosmic Cube, able to shift reality itself to the holder's will. The weakened Surfer is predestined to crashland in the heart of Earth's New York City, but the cube's whereabouts will be unknown.
However, there are those with the means to find it whose goals may not be so noble. Between the facist ruler of the Iron Curtain nation of Latveria, and one of the few living Nazi warlords still thriving after World War II's end, the world itself may be in absolute peril. It is up to the new era of heroes to stop them from reaching the cube, risking their lives to save humanity itself from annihilation.
What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums? (please write two complete sentences): Well, this is a Marvel RPG that would essentially be basing the characters in the same time period that Marvel debuted on the stands. The early 1960's were very different from the world of today, with alot of diversity and alot of fear. Since the Marvel Comics didn't nessecarily touch upon alot of that stuff at the time, this game would be an exploration about those themes and others from the perspective of several Marvel icons.
