The Comics' Universe RPG Application

[Batman]

That's one of my arguments. Another, and more important one being this: The point of Heroes is to have a set of superpowered individuals who exist in a real world where only they have superpowers. To take that element away renders them to the brink of uselessness, because not only with a majority of the characters interacting with them have powers, superpowered individuals are known throughout the world in a highly public fashion due to the history of costumed heroes.

I also like to think it gives people a chance to play characters that... well, simply put, they've always wanted to play, but couldn't due to the ambundance of prominently DC and Marvel based RPG's we have.

You're doing a terrible job so far.

 

[Carnage27]

Yea I don't see why Heroes isn't acceptable. Heck we could probably write them better than the show's writers. Those first two episodes were pretty putrid.

EDIT: MB wins.

If it means keeping you from utter hapiness, I beg to differ.

Look, I have nothing against the show whatsoever. I'd probably be a fan if I ever remembered when it was on during the first season's original airing. But at this point, even Watchmen characters fit more into the world that I have in mind.

Get out.

Haha sorry. I love the show, but I was really disappointed with what I saw.

Very open for players' freedom with their writing, as the RPG requires reintepretation for some characters. Alot of comic universes will be prohibited, depending on how they could fit into the universe or re-interpreted, or if there's already another RPG featuring the universe.

So what you're telling me is that this whole application is filled with pretty words that don't mean anything?

I said 'with their writing'. I didn't say 'with their character choice'.

And I don't frankly see how they could be reinterpreted in a way that could make then even slightly more relevant to the universe.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't possible. I should have just done what my head told me to and stayed the Hell away from this thread. I can see now that this is not an RPG I can stand by. Speed Racer can confront Spawn, but Hiro Nakamura is irrelevant.

You're all welcome to some.

Give me a break. You're complaining about not being able to play Peter Petrelli, yet despite the fact that I can't play Rorshach or Nite-Owl, characters I've never played (which is something I can't say about you regarding Heroes) and probably never will, I still decided to make this. It's called compromise - basically, what you do when you can't have your way. And despite the fact that I told you what can't be included in a world I created, you go on a tirade of trying to prove me wrong. Well, I've got news for you: I'm still not allowing it.

I've explained why, and you've yet to challenge those points. Bringing them in would mess with the point of their intergration into any other given world. They're a set of characters that work in their world more than most. Until you bring forth a point that changes my mind about that, it's not changing, and if all you're going to do is complain about how that's supposedly improbable, whereas I disagree, maybe it's better that you decided to huff and puff and storm out of this.

One guy can fly. The other one can, like, bend time and space at his will. Then there's this other guy who can totally absorb other people's powers. And then you've got his narrative foil, a guy who kills people for their abilities.

And guess what? They're the only ones that can do that in the Heroes universe.

 

[twylight]

...Wow...

*goes to backlog*

 

[Matt Murdock]

Well.

Your words still aren't pretty!

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Okay, gosh. Chill out ya'll.

Word.

 

[Eddie Brock]

You can't use the word "reinterpretation" if you're going to be authoritarian and say, "No. It doesn't work in my mind. It wouldn't work. Period. End of story."

 

[Batman]

Then I'll edit the word to something more appropriate.

Sure he can. That's why Indiana Jones and The Doctor are allowed. In this instance, though, MB thinks that Heroes characters won't work. That's his prerogative as the creator and runner of the game. One of the many benefits of being head-honcho is the indiscriminate, self-justified use of power that will undoubtedly ruffle some feathers.

Oh well.

I lawl'd.

Word.

Now, why don't you make yourself useful and sticky the SW IC Thread?

See, I thought this was a community. Sure, MB made the application, and he's in charge. I won't deny or somehow challenge that. But he has made the sole decision to exclude Heroes based on his own opinions. I don't see why we can't discuss it as a community and see what everyone thinks. Four people have given their input, and MB has all but shut down the discussion. I know that I, for one, am part of the RPGs because it gives me a chance to have some freedom with what I do.

That freedom is being unceremoniously denied.

So go to another game or start another fanfiction.

 

[Shlee]

I think I missed my shipment of testosterone pills. Either that or all you male PMSers are missing your ****ing midol. It's a game. MB wants it his way, it's HIS application. If someone can come up with a scenario that would make the Heroes characters viable, he is NOT averse to hearing it. So either man up and actually post something worth reading that would make him change his mind, or ****ing write your own RPG application where YOU get to make the rules. Christ.

 

[Matt Murdock]

Preposterous.
