Interest Check: Wild Cards (M&M 2nd Ed) PBP

[Radavel]

I am wondering if there is sufficient interest in this. GRRM says it will have a TV series too like Game of Thrones.

[Philo Pharynx]

Oh, I'm interested. I actually game with one of the original group. Steve Perrin.

[Anoirtrou]

I would love to play a Wild Cards game!

[Sunphoenix72]

This might be interesting... to play in the Wildcards universe....

[Radavel]

Can you guys give me your preferred style of campaign? Obviously an American Hero themed game is out of the question.

[Sunphoenix72]

Not sure what you mean by 'American Hero themed game'... :)
But I'm up for just about anything. Unfortunatly I have had no luck in finding any of the wildcards novels..so my whole source of information on the universe IS the GURPS Supers - WILDCARDS supplement...from which I hear from friends of mine who have read the novels is fairly comprehensive, with one... {ahem} provaso. The sourcebook does not reflect, and I quote: 'How much Kinky Joker Sex occurs in the novels'.

LOLS! Well it IS George R. R. Martin.. so what do you expect {snicker}?

I'd like to play a fire-based, black American... I guess Ace. Sort of like Firestorm.. hmmm that sounds like a good name actually. I don't mind if we go international though. But since I'm an American.. I'm not terribly familiar with far-away-places-with-strange-sounding-names. But a Germany based game might be interesting... of course the Joker Virus broke out in New York so it kinda IS a American superhero game world...sort of considering that's where "Joker-Town" is {shrug}.

American Hero is the wild card reality tv show. It was detailed in the book Inside Straight.

I'm using the M&M 2nd Ed Wild Card Supplement.

Read most of the earlier books (Vol. 1-5) and the later books about the Committee and Jokertown Fort Freak trilogies.

Will you be 'teaching' the system or do we need to know it ourselves first... I LOVE Wildcards... own/have read all the Wild Card books, but don't know ANYthing about M&M.

[Radavel]

^^We will all learn together about the game system.

[Radavel]

Now before we actually start recruitment, can all players commit to post at least once a day?

[Philo Pharynx]

@Jaf0, I can help with the rules.

I can post once a day.

But I would like to know you have something fleshed out. I don't need to know all the details, but I'd like something more than "Let's do a Wild Cards game." I've seen too many of those games last for a short bit and then fizzle out.

I'd also like an idea of the power level and points value before I start thinking of ideas. It's much less painful to develop an idea to a level/feel of game than to have to throw out something that has caught your mind.

[Anoirtrou]

Yes, I can manage a post a day. It would be helpful to know the specifics, but I'm guessing they will be in the actual recruitment thread?

[Sunphoenix72]

Yep. I certainly can commit to that schedule.. once a day.. I'll more likely post three or four times a day if the drama requires so! :)

I own multiple pdfs of MM2nd ed... {and thanks for the link}..will likely purchase that Wildcard Sourcebook in the next two or three weeks.

[Anoirtrou]

As for style of campaign, I am up for anything. I have read all of the books, as well as the graphic novel. The Original series of books are my favorite, but I would be perfectly happy with doing a modern era game as well.

[Radavel]

thanks all for the interest i will post a separate recruitment thread with all the details for character generation and intended game. cheers :-)

[Sunphoenix72]

I'll be purchasing that Wildcards book today...
