Hi everyone, I used to be GM at a superheroes game using Batman as team leader. In those days I left the game for major time problems, right now conditions have changed for me and can enjoy of a lot of spare time so I think I owe a game to the people who started playing with me. If you were an original playing we can start anew from the hook I have posted on the game thread, well I hope original players appear, however if you want to play you can apply using either DC o Marvel, independent characters adapted are also welcome. There are plenty of places in the net offering adapted character sheets, I use this.
I will make a new invitation at gamers connection to keep this thread alive.
I think never was an OOC thread since I can't find any in my profile, so I think I will have to start one anew.
Batman is bleeding and while heads towards his somewhere hidden batmobile in order to return his headquarters thinks:
Batman is back and is recriting super people at Gotham.
What things to be broken can be in a "abandoned" museum?
Batman finally gets up and starts talking to the team while he looks to the map that appears on the giant screen at the meeting room. "If something bad is lurking at this place, we better go with caution. So my plan is simple: let's get in for the main entrances, I open one of the doors clean and fast, Maedelik looks for something wrong before we get in, Supergirl goes in front always walking and we go after her always at 5 meters (16'6") distance. No separations at all, the whole team gets in every room the whole team gets out of every room. Suggestions?"
Batman, only listens while take a look to his personal computer and later to the museum map. Well right now we have only 4 members of the team counting me. Skater is out of reach, perhaps family matters. Mechimera's body of what used to be is in my pesonal hideout, I left a personal assistant testing it to see what we find.Did I miss someone?
Well, Batman is in the meeting room, displaying the map of the museum, he is looking with attention to any part of it. He sits confortable on his seat and waits for the arrival of the rest of the team.
Batman leaves Mechimera's body on the Batcave and call again to all his comrades. "Guardians of New Proverbial the meeting in on the base of operations, the computer over there will display a giant map of the museum in the meeting room there we will plan an strategy to get in and proceed. See you there".
"Maelidek, your help is required, do you have any divination capabilities? Are you able to find something out from a crime scene or a body? Science sometimes can be helped by misticism"
"Master Bruce" "Alfred did you get something" "Well sir. This could be only a rumor but on the internet it is strongly suggested that the old abandoned museum might be holding the stolen relics that the Ice Witch was accused of stealing" "Rumors have been the base of many closed cases Alfred or the losing of a lot of valuable time" In that very moment Pong's call gets in. Batman listens carefully what Pong has to say and answers: "Pong. Take the body and bring it to the base try to cantact all the team, I will try to do the same. We will meet there in 30 minutes".
After the battle Batman is inside his Batmobile, he only can barely give an order to the car:
Spoiler: Well I don't know how to fit Batman here, help me please!
Who would be the gamemaster? The person playing Batman? I'm a little confused on the GM proposal here. No problem for me, the current DM can continue and I can only play as Batman.
Well, I will wait.
Well, hello: My name is Patricio Calderón as you see. I started this PBP some months ago but for some reasons at the moment I left the game. I am coming back but I don't know how willing are the current players to accept me. I was trying to read the whole thread but it was really convoluted so I have some offers to you: 1) You kick my ass and ask me to leave the game (you have the right to do it). 2)The current GM goes ahead and fits the Batman when he can. 3)Let's starts from the point I left and assume that all the new players were presents in the events. 4)Let's start an all-new adventure. Decide people.
Ok let me read the whole thread, later I will read your recap and put all in order again. I will need 3 to 4 hours.
Rumors increase everywhere: "The Bat...I saw the Bat" "He was bleeding, I think he was hurt, turned for that alley and disappeared" "I thought he was dead but... I don't know, his face was like a dead man's to me" "Ha,ha,ha, I just finished my song as an homage for the fallen Batman and he resurrects. Son of #@$%& can't he be dead? By the way do you have money my bottle is empty" "The Bat? sure I saw him, but somehing was wrong with him."
Rumor:
Thanks for everything hopeless, I am not in the mood to continue with a PBP game not even as a player. You have a group here and can continue with this campaign, I am sure more people will join at the future, It is not about you or this group, it is not about RPG, it is about PBP, sorry but my interest is gone I don't know when it happened but it just left. Peace.
I am grateful for the concern you have showed towards me and my wellfare. I am just OK. I don't know why I am returning here I said myself I'd not come back again just because I did not want to face any of you and tell you that I totally lost interest on PBPs. It just doesn't work for me anymore. I felt a little interest on them that grew till the point to try more games but sorry if I made you waste you time with me, just they are too slow for me I remember coming every morning to my PC eager to find any new post on the three games and find nothing. I just got bored and that is all.
Gulgrym initiative is 5+8=13
and for the man. Not sure where I'd be standing. Just choose one.
Batman approaches to Tattoo. While talks to the mobster. "We have not time to waste, we came only to make you a question". Mobster asnwers: "What if I don¡t want answer". Batman replies: "I can see you have made remodeling to your office, a fight here with your bodyguards that already are behind that door waiting for an order from you to enter and shot could represent a new rebuilding of this place". Tattoo sits again, drinks some whiskey and says: "What do you want?" Batman talks while gives the note to Tattoo: "Tell me everything about this". Tattoo looks at the note and says: "After all that inept could find your car" Batman: "What?" Tatto: "What you heared, I sent that note" FINAL OF ISSUE ONE. NEXT: "BLOW OUT"
Batman gets to an open window at Tattoo's office, he is at ease since would never expect someone daring to enter by one of their windows, he is still with his sleeping clothes sat in front of his desk and having a whiskey glass. When Batman enters the office it is noticed by Tattoo:
Batman answers:
As far as I can see you are acting sticking to the rules and making your own, I will give you freedom to act as you wish and narrate as you wish in order to keeping the flavor of the superheroe genre where he uses his capabilities and powers in an creative form to solve problems, however your actions have consecuences and from now on every minute you have an acumulative 1% to be discovered for any of the policemen that are preparing things for the ceremony.
This will not finish well, so everyone roll initiative.
Batman:
It is 8:30 for Mechimera, for the rest of the heroes it is about 6:00, Mechimera's questions will be answered on time. Till that moment the rest of the group will execute their actions. Johnny tell me what are you going to do and your rolls. Batman and the rest of the heroes have just arrived to the place at 6:20 a.m., the traffic is not so dense so the Batmobile could go faster. Batman stays sitting down for a few seconds, pushing buttons and moving switches. Later talks: "Pong you can with me. Skater go to the top of the building* stay near just in case you be needed...by the way look after the batmobile...just in case". The heroes gets out of the vehicle and it closes automatically. Batman talks to Pong: "Pong take us as near as you can of the fifth floor. *The building is a 5 story one plus terrace.
Batman to Pong: "Yes". The three heroes leave the headquarters and starts their journey towards the mobster's "hideout".
Tell me where are you using this scheme over the map:
In that very moment the crate starts moving allowing the sunlight entering the small room. An unknown's head appears through the hole.
Batman: "I think we have a plan here. Mechimera stay here and use the computers system to access everything you can get about the new building, what is inside, what is out, surveillance cameras, list of fired people from the project that could be suspects, FedEx or DHL envelopes sent to the address, everything that could be useful, you will know what to use and what to discard. And talk to the police in the process, make a female voice".
"Johnny go to the building and trace it inch by inch fast and clean". "Pong and Skater come with me. Tatto will receive a visit from us".
Batman: "It is about 6:00 a.m. and the inauguration is at 9 a.m. we have 3 hours to make a decision and act". Let's take a vote, what are the motions?"
Batman says: "Every thug, criminal and maniac of the south zone is benefited with this move. Moreover it is not so difficult to find my batmovile by chance if you walk for a dangerous area at a dangerous hour".
The first page of the book shows a loose map of an island with a red cross in a place. The first paragraph you can read is next: "No man, I will not be a poor beggar forever" The rest of the book is something like an itinerary to get to an island from Raven's Bluff. In one of the pages you can find a loose letter that says: "Sorry son but I can't send you more money...your vices have destroyed everything we were as a family...and now that crazyness to go after an imaginary treasure...no son, this dream of you to become rich by unearthing a forgotten treasure is something that will not be supported for this old man...better get a job and leave the life you are having..."
:) As Batman leaves the team to think about the matter, he starts meditating "Is it Bat-mite again playing tricks?"
Batman starts:
Batman shows the sheet of paper to the group. It says with cut and glued letters: "The new offices will blow to the skies, better take them from here". I assume those are the offices will probably suffer a terrorist attack. This note was done by a professional, no fingerprints, no DNA traces, the glue used can be adquired in any stationary and the newspaper used according to a computer analysis caught a letter from a different edition of the Daily Earth. The only clue we have is this guy reads the Daily Earth or at least bought one edition for 54 consecutive days ending yesterday. First option: We take the case to the NPPD so they use their resources and prevent any possible attack.
No way to work along the NPPD. So we must decide, we are five so this will be a democracy, ...for now.
Chris: Everything you try to move mechimera do it in a low profile.
Skater reaches the end of the road inside the elevator and when the door opens Batman and Pong are already sat around the meeting table.
When Voran opens the drawer he can see dirty clothes but something unusual too, a book with the inscription "The Ultimate Talein's Dream".
All of you have has a night of rest since Batman patroled the city last night, but at 5:15 a.m. Batman calls you to your communicators and says:
I will post on morning, my country is -5 GTM time I don't know the difference to UK time but don't worry for that anyway since you can reach us after you get home.
Voran strokes his beard thoughtfully. "I don't see any reason to damage this good fellow's home than necessary. Though it is nice to know we might be able to escape this way if we get cornered." Voran will then move over to the bed and see if there is anything interesting there to help him learn about the poor begger and how he came to such a condition. There are a few belongs of him over the dirty bedroll, the smell of it is not so pleasant, nothing out of normal. There is a small bedtable next to the bedroll as you see on the map, it has a drawer.
No more delays, this sunday starts our game. Be attent. Here is the map of our work place.
