For about a year and a half now, I have been running a homebrew science fiction game based off of the worlds of Eclipse Phase, a post-apocalyptic horror game, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We are using The Cypher System for game rules, which is fairly rules-light but still allows for fairly nuanced character-building.
I am currently taking a break from our live games to focus on worldbuilding. My goal is to build a utopian alien planet from which Avengers or Fantastic Four-inspired adventurers can sojourn to do fantastical science space adventures. My original plan was to have an extended cast (like the Avengers) and then people could pop in or out according to their availability.
In addition, this pandemic is making me re-imagine my time-priority goals. I think it's possible that I want to run text-based campaigns more than I want to run voice-activity campaigns while the pandemic is going. However, I doubt many of my existing friends will be open to text-based campaigns. So, I decided to come to the best place I know to find people who are into text-based roleplaying: Here.
I don't think I can commit, at this present moment, to actually running anything. However, with the right group of real people and the right party of heroes, I could be persuaded. That sort of thing will take time to build - time talking about worldbuilding, about character-creation, time spent clarifying questions - and I can commit to that. So, if you're interested in spending time putting a footprint on someone else's artistic work, practicing making complex, diverse, and compelling characters, with a possibility for joining a play-by-text game, you're in the right place.
Here is a link to the wiki I have made for this world. It is called Nordic Frog Beach. It was settled by heroic adventurers of a campaign gone by. It was settled following the chaos of a machine apocalypse on Earth. It is a beautiful oceanic utopia.
Here is a link to the wiki I wrote for the previous campaign. The information contained in this wiki is about 250-years-behind the wiki above, for it takes place right after the Earth had its apocalypse. Reading it is helpful in the same way that reading a historical document is helpful for understanding today.
Here is what I would like:
1. What is The Future wiki missing? If you were to make a character for this world, you should be able to look at The Future wiki and get all the information you need. What do I need to add in order to accomplish that?
2. What characters does it excite you to make in this world? I'm looking for a next-generation of superheroes - more diverse, more kind, better communication skills, a higher focus put on science. Does this world make you want to make that sort of character?
Good to see you again Leinathan! I'll need to look through the wiki some more, but it seems pretty neat.
Thanks for taking a look! I'm looking forward to your reaction.
Any of those interested in reading:
I created a Players' Guide, a document meant to guide players through the process of creating a character. It should streamline the process of reading.
Hi leinathan! Good to see you back around these parts. I'm very interested in checking this out but may not get to it for a few days, just wanted to express excitement!
Hi there!
I honestly never left (I'm still in that same 'ol Wrath of the Righteous game) but Play-by-Post definitely needed to take a back seat.
Keepin an eye out for the time being for feedback!
