Looking to gauge interest in a play-by-post Mutant City Blues game set in Detroit. This will be a short investigation to test the waters; if interest continues, I will look into running more with the same team. I am a new GM to pbp, but have played F2F for the last 7 years or so, and have GM'ed a few investigations in MCB before. Mutant City Blues is a police procedural game with mutant powers thrown in as a twist. It's CSI/Law & Order meets X-Men. Here is the description pulled from the book:
"Ten years ago, 1% of the population gained mutant powers. 1% of the citizens means 1% of the criminals! You're the cops who clean up the mess.
Ever since the Sudden Mutation Event, people have been able to fly. Phase through walls. Read minds. Shoot bolts of energy from their fingertips. Walk into dreams.
As members of the elite Heightened Crime Investigation Unit, you and your fellow detectives solve crimes involving the city’s mutant community. When a mutant power is used to kill, you catch the case. When it’s a mutant victim in the chalk outline, you get the call. And when it comes time for a fight, you deploy your own extraordinary abilities to even the odds."
Dot... Possible interest. Have both ran Gumshoe (Ashen Stars), and played (Trail of C).
I will have to think about it. I own MCB, but have never actually played or ran.
Dot. Have the game, as well as TOC, but have never actually played or ran a game.
interested! Never played GUMSHOE before though, and don't have the materials as of yet.
We can work something out if you don't have the book, that's no big deal. It's fairly rules-light on the system side.
It looks like there's sufficient interest for at least a buddy cop team. Awesome! I think I'll post an official recruitment thread today or tomorrow and see what shakes out.
I'll be reading the book tomorrow during the day to get a better understanding.
thank you!
I am curious, I have not played that one but I think it is interesting. I love investigative style ones like Dark Heresy over deathwatch where it involves a bit more playing with skills then being all about combat. If you alright with a greenhorn with a lot of time on his hands to learn a new system then I'll gladly play ^^.
Definitely interested. I've only run mysteries in RPGs before, but I've enjoyed them greatly.
Aaand the recruitment thread is up! Go here to apply!
