sounds interesting...though I know nothing about M&M builds or have any of the books so I'd have no idea where to go.

Quite a few M&M games running at the Atomic Think Tank, but I've not managed to go there regularly enough to get into any of them (and splitting my focus between two different websites would probably 'splode my head).
Well, it is my first time; am playing in one; is a great story; going fairly slow atm though. I dont know much about the game either; so I am playing one of the archtypes that the game suggests; the book has 10 or maybe 12 of them suggested. The game system seems great; just learning it; having fun.
Look at the Doom that Creeps thread in the PBP; and look at our characters if you like; give you a feel for what we are doing; I think are gm is looking to replace a few characters that dont post anymore but dont know for sure; our thread is only at 140; so is not like catching up on a game I run (hehe one is over 6k.
Is fun to get to play in a game; hope it continues as the story is heating up. The gm has some great ideas; got my knees shaking already hehe.
:)
I'd love to play some M&M too. I'd offer to run but I DON'T have the time right now to prep something like that (plus my laptop with all my shiny character gen bits and bobs on it is on the fritz).
I've seen a few M&M pbps here, but the GMs wanted to use the system to play a game in a specific, existing setting, and normally one that isn't actually supers. While nothing is wrong with this, and M&M is great to use for stuff like this, I'd really love to get into specifically a supers game and one where I don't have to search the Internet for hours to learn about a setting I previously had no interest in just to be able to play some M&M. I also know that the really setting specific ones tend to be for somewhat obscure settings and the GM can't drum up enough interest to get enough players.
(On the other hand, if someone wanted to run a Read or Die based game of M&M...... which is entirely obscure and I don't expect people to. It IS Supers at least, sort of)
Well, you're welcome to join our game! The basic premise is that the game is set on a sandbox style island called Freedom City. Freedom City is a venture by the government and military of the United States in an effort to smooth over Super and Non-super relations. The characters are all members of a team of supers acting as a police force on the island.
After foiling an invasion attempt by supers from an alternate dimension that were fleeing something called the Scourge, they were asked to infiltrate said dimension and bring back intel on this Scourge. The transfer failed and instead of crossing dimensions, they were thrown an unknown period into their own future, where something apocalyptic has occurred. They're just now entering their own police HQ to find that something might have survived...
If you want to play, head over here and propose a character. PL 10, most anything goes. Your PC should either be a survivor of the disaster or a member of another team sent into the portal after the current heroes. If you're a survivor, I'll send you private info on what you went through. If you're a fellow team member, not much info is required.
It is a sandbox, so feel free to invent locations, people, groups, reasons for joining a super police force as needed. Your character need not be a boy scout; at least one member of the super team is performing community service.
Just a warning, I am moving at the end of this week, so my posting may slow until around June 30th. I'm not gone, just busy!
