Mutants And Masterminds 3 Post Apocalyptic Campaign

[pauljathome]

If I get sufficient interest I'm planning to run a Post Apocalyptic PBP Campaign. It starts in spring 1982 in a remote valley in the Andes and is expected to span about 30 odd years in total (hopefully it will take less actual time :-)). It chronicles one group who are the champions of one small area that grows and grows until, in combination with some others, they rebuild civilization.

It will be using slightly modified Mutants and Masterminds 3 rules (I've enhanced the number of skills so that, for skills, it closely resembles M&M2).

Characters start as PL6 totally mundane (or nearly totally mundane) characters. In the course of the campaign they will gain powers and become PL 8 or PL 10 (I haven’t quite decided yet but likely PL 10) characters. The powers might be very obvious (eg, throw electric bolts around) or fairly subtle (eg, gain essentially superhuman skill with weapons). Your super version is largely unlimited (except by PL and points, of course :-))

If that sounds interesting much more information can be found in the
Campaign details doc here

While I'm an experienced GM I haven't run any Mutants and Masterminds 3 (I HAVE run M&M 1 and 2). I'm also fairly new to running PBP although I've played a fair bit.

I'm looking for about 6 characters. I'll accept applications for 2 weeks unless several days go by with nobody else expressing interest.

To be honest, 4 hours have gone by and I am surprised to be the first person posting. The campaign doc is awesome. Not generally a huge fan of low powered campaigns, but I am a huge fan of the Post Apocalyptic genre.

This is reminding me of Revolution, which I loved when it was on; not a lot of powers in it, but it was pretty cool when the guy started to control the nanite swarms.

This sounds interesting although I have never played in a low powered game before. I would like to apply

I am a bit torn here. I love the idea of the campaign. That doc you linked is pretty good. However I don't like superheros and have never looked at a M&M game before nor played the system. The whole lasers out of the eyes or flying around just seems silly to me. Now give someone a jetpack or laser gun and I'm fine. Yeah I know I'm strange. The idea of the powers being less than obvious is appealing. So all that being said a lower power game of this is probably something I would be interested in.

I love the idea, but I'm apping into something else and I'm close to my limit of games I feel I can comfortably commit my time to. I'll keep an eye out if you decide to recruit, but am not sure I may be able to apply.

The campaign looks really interesting and I'm a big fan of M&M so I'm interested

[GM SuperTumbler]

Hey there. I'm interested, but also trying to make sure I don't overextend my pbp resources with the new games I've started, so I would probably not apply if it were right now.

Dot for interest

Defo intartedtedDot,

It would seem that there is insufficient interest for this to be a viable option at this point in time.

I may revisit (change) the proposed campaign at some point to maybe make it more attractive to people.

Thanks to everybody who expressed some interest.
