I'm not nearly as active here at CMF as I used to be (wew) but I see myself ready for a tabletop game here in the near future. I am extremely busy currently but keep me in mind if you get something fired up. South County is just a half hour away from me.

Hello everyone. I've been running various games in local (east tennessee) comic shops since 1992. This coming October been asked to run RPGs at Conapalooza in Bristol VA on October 13-15. I'll announced that amongst my 8 sessions through the weekend that 2 would be the marvel FASERIP system!

Bristol, huh? How far is that from Radford, VA?

According to Google maps 102 miles and about an hour and a half drive.

That's not bad at all. I just might make it with some friends.

In the end I couldn't afford the trip. Sorry I missed out. How did the games go?

I used to game in the back of a comic shop after hours when I first got into this game. It was a great environment to play in! Your convention sounds like a lot of fun! If you're interested and looking for material, feel free to download my new module and give it a whirl! Have a blast!

I still want to run a game online too - my actual friend RPG group only seem to ever get together like every 3 months or so.. so makes campaigning brutal.

We've done other game systems using Skype and a little Marvel, including multiple players. Or the Chatroom here would work for typed posts. :-)

Nice! Sounds like a good time! I've had a hard time finding others interested in the same kind of game, but I'm working on other things in the meantime. <:) Let us know how the game shapes up!

I'm just pulling a campaign together for my nerd family. My husband and I got them hooked on D&D 5E and now I'm going to try my hand at running a Marvel game.

Will be running from square one as you mentioned with original characters. Everybody has been thinking about what kind of characters they want to have.

I will be using any and all resources I can get my hands on.

Re: Anyone still putting together a game out there?

Dark — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 16:05:21 -0700

So i am looking to put together a campaign now that life isn't a pile of steaming poop for me.

Basically Home-grown characters, built on a point system in a fresh* Marvel/DC/Image Universe.

* - Fresh meaning limited history prior to the campaign - stating at Issue 0, and Pre-Gen characters that appear will be considered first appearances... almost like the cinematic universe - not decades of comic story line background. The limited History basically being that there were some supers during world War II - such as Captain America - but most people dismiss it as propaganda - as there hasn't been any active heroes pretty much since then. There is also rumors of Mutants and Aliens - again considered a big conspiracy theory. Cities like Gotham and Metropolis exist.. there is rumor of a Batman in Gotham - but again chalked up to urban legend/propaganda.. also countries like Latveria and Wakada exist - but at present no Dr.Doom or Blackpanther running around.... No Avengers, Xmen, Justice league ect...ect..ect...

The Player characters themselves are relatively new (or have been operating in the shadows and relatively unknown and any previous engagements have been against thugs and such)

A major event happens that shocks the world (to be revealed at the time of the game start), pretty much proving the existence of meta-humans to everyone as something real. The United Nations, headed by the United States - tasks the agency S.H.I.E.L.D. to analysis and deal with this threat - That's when Nick Fury shows up at the heroes doors with a recruitment deal to bring them in as a UN sanctioned team with connections to SHIELD to help deal with the Meta-Human problem (starting with the one that has Fury come knocking in the first place) - known as the Nexus Knights - mostly because they operate out of a secret SHIELD facility known as the Nexus (rumored to be SHIELDS R&D Hub for meta-humans - primarily focused on recreating the super soldier serum of captain America from world war II and other artifacts they have collected over the years). SO basically Fury shows up.. recruits the characters - drags them to the Nexus - briefs them further on the event they have to deal with - and sends them on their way... so begins Campaign 1, Scenario 1, Act 1.

The geography of earth will be a hybrid of the DC/Marvel Universe - during the game, characters will encounter a range of home-grown and pre-gen characters from the DC/Marvel/Image Universe.

Note: It IS plausible to play Pre-Gen characters upon approval, though i was thinking Home-Grown would be a more popular choice.

Conceptually, it sounds like you're doing something similar to a MUSH game I played online in the 90s. Since there wasn't a dice rolling capacity on the MUSH site at the time, the defending character was responsible for comparing the incoming attack intensities and relevant defensive stats, and then describing the impact/result of the attack. Players were encouraged to describe things in vivid detail and play reasonably/fairly. The MUSH GM would only step in if the defending character was being ridiculous and dodging anything and everything, regardless of rank differential. If done well, it can be a lot of fun.

yes pretty much like that

I have been toying with a concept for the last few months, which is effectively a hybrid system between the marvel tsr game and the Amber Diceless roleplaying game as far as game system goes.. but also the whole concept is basically a huge writing exercise with some moderator direction.

So instead of rolling dice and what not, players/writers would simply reference the marvel TSR stats in relation to opponents stats and basically the higher attribute would win unless other factors were involved.

So for example a character with AM 50 strength would typically always out muscle anyone under that rating.. so thats the norm... but then other factors like endurance, wounds and such could influence the outcome as well..

id probably do a more expansive write up if and when i actually launched it.

Anyway,.. the player/writer aspect is that they control the characters and write what ever they want as far as daily life and objectives are concerned with in the determined parameters of the universe in question - the moderator would then put forth challenges and or report results of actions in relation to story/plot overall...

Something like that.. .

NEW ORIGINS: COSMIC
Basically this concept it like new Origins - but with space and cosmic level characters - a sort of new Guardians of the Galaxy concept - players would play primarily space based characters drawn together to prevent some bad stuff from happening in the universe. Encounter beings like Galactus and Thanos for the 1st time... drawn into galactic wars... again even more expansive if we include the DC/Image Universe... like a war between the Shi'ar and the Thanagarians.... encountering Darkseid... rivalry between the Nova Corps and Green Lantern Corps... Cosmic Cubes.. infinity stones... celestials.. could also encounter the various mythos/gods... maybe even into the realms of magic perhaps (though was thinking more space based to be honest).

Re: Anyone still putting together a game out there?

Dark — Sat, 17 Dec 2016 09:18:49 -0700

I have hordes of ideas:

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - ELITE
- This concept is based more about the opening sequence of Captain America: Winter Soldier - in which non to maybe medium powered characters are operating as S.H.I.E.L.D. directed operatives and performing missions of a more espionage, clandestine or strike team type fashion..
- Some character ideas: Captain America, Wolverine, hawkeye, blackwidow, Mockingbird, Moonknight, punisher, daredevil, Iron fist... ect. I also thought of adding DC to the mix as well..

Dark Days
- This concept is a hybrid of the Civil War and Nightmares of Future Past story ideas - in that some major horrific superhero based event caused a shift in the governments thinking on the whole super hero matter - demanding not only registration, but also service - basically the various heroes and villians were given the choice of joining The CORPS - or being hunted down and imprisoned or killed. Those in the CORPS would act as elite operatives on behalf of the government - the rest would be criminals and outlaws. However - things didnt just stop with those with powers.. agencies like SHIELD were forced into the CORPS.. the Sentinel Program was modified and activated..

However.. it soon became the CORPS running the government as a form of marshal law - with the mysterious CORPS Commander now directing activities. Most of the 1st world nations have fallen in with the CORPS program (US, russia, uk, ect...) and its now minor or 3rd world nations that remain the few Corps free locations (though the Corps keep expanding into these regions as well). The CORPS itself seems to have become more evil and corrupt.. with even former heros who joined up seemingly becoming more vicious and aggressive than their former selves - even using deadly and brutal force in situations that dont require it.

Rumors: Wolverine operates a resistance cell out of canada, comprised mostly of mutants.
Captain America operates a resistance cell in western united states.
(if DC included) - The Batman operates a resistance cell in Gotham.
Latveria is a refuge of resistance in eastern europe, though the country is heavily sanctioned and its borders guarded heavily on both sides - The CORPS did try two minor pushes into the country but were repulsed - though there is talk of a major build up of resources for a heavy offensive into the country.
Nick Fury and some 'Good' SHIELD operatives are in hiding somewhere.

Players would play characters (hero or villain) who have so far managed to avoid CORPS.... staying alive.. resisting CORPS.. and even trying to find a way to defeat CORPS and return the world to sanity. I thought about also including DC/Image into the mix.

STORMWATCH
Based on the concept of the Image title Stormwatch - effectively a UN supported and Sanctioned group of international heroes whom operate on behalf of the UN to deal with international, extra-terrestrial or superhuman threats to the world. The Active Team members would be from different countries (so like 1 American, 1 Canadian, 1 russian.. ect..ect) - Could also include Image and DC characters in addition to Marvel.

The team would be assigned various mission types (and stumble upon some deeper story concepts as well).

NEW ORIGINS
Basically erase the entire history of the marvel universe as in NONE of it happened. Then the players would play as their selected Marvel Character at the point of origin (or alternate origin if their origin was heavily dependent on marvel history).. So for Example: Spider-man would be Peter Park shortly after being bit by spider and uncle ben being killed... but he has never tangled with Green Goblin, Sandman, Doc Oct. Wolverine would be Logan shortly after he staggered out of the woods in canada with no idea of his past... Captain America waking up after being frozen for 70 years... ect.. There characters would then operate in a fresh marvel universe without comic history - encountering villains for the 1st time.. encountering things like SHIELD or HYDRA for the 1st time (well unless someone plays Cap.. then he has some recollection of HYDRA from world war II.)... BASICALLY everything starts fresh and clean and new and players can explore the character with new beginnings and the GM can use elements in a new way (like if Wolverine is a player - the player and GM could arrive at a completely different story concept about how he got his adamantium skeleton..)... maybe its a world with no Charles Xavier to show an alternative option to Mutants.. maybe Mutants are very rare.. ect..ect.. Could also merge in the DC/Image Universe as well.. making it an even more unique universe with new places and events... like what if The Joker was Spiderman's nemesis instead of Batmans....

I find that everyone is pulling in different directions for things they want out of a game and that makes it difficult, especially if your tastes differ significantly from the majority. I also see everyone into the games like Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, etc. or they want you to keep switching to the newest game. I never got to explore these old games like I always wanted so I'm good with a lot of these until I do. I don't get bored of something I like very easily so I see myself enjoying Marvel for a long time to come. I've never been into pbp. Too slow for me, though I require the increased nuance that those games seem to share and the level of interactivity from the players, as opposed to players who only interact with the GM. Roll 20 using microphones works for me. Of course I'd prefer face to face live games, but I think that's the next best thing. Pbp is a bit too far removed for me, as you don't have that more rapid (by comparison) flowing story and spontaneity.

Yeah MnM is the flavor of Supers that gets the most traction when looking to get a game going online, VTT or pbp.
