	Hey, RPF! I don't usually come around here, so you probably don't know me, but I've just started a game that, if you're into superheros, you might enjoy. All the details are in the thread here, but for a quick summation, it's a sort of parody to conventional superhero teams and things of that nature. I have a lot planned for this game, so if you're into that sort of thing, you should check it out. Hopefully we can have some fun with it. -----signature----- Just remember: you could be a Lions fan.

	tosses another idea onto the board I'm full of ideas... Terminator: Rage Against the Machines It is post-Activation and the world is devastated from the nuclear attacks made by the artificial intelligence known as Skynet. Thousands of robotic war machines are being mass produced with one sole purpose in mind: The utter and total annihilation of the inferior human race. You are a survivor of the nuclear holocaust in Europe and have joined up with several others who have managed to evade the killing machines, T-800s, to form a small pocket resistance against Skynet's forces. Your rebels are but one of many world-wide that have rallied under the banner of John Connor. Your mission: Destroy the Terminators at all costs, rescue other survivors, continue the human race through procreation, survival and avoid and evading detection. The characters would be set up similar to Dungeons & Dragons to define what kind of civilian they are. Eight players consisting of the following classes or combination of classes: A Bard - a performer whose music works magic--a wanderer, a tale-teller, and a jack-of-all trades (a journalist, an actor, an artist, a musician and so on) A Fighter - a warrior with exceptional combat capability and unequaled skill with weapons (a soldier [can be a terrorist also], a boxer, a martial artist, and so on) A Cleric - a master of religion, history and the healing arts and a capable warrior as well (a priest, a historian, a doctor of any field or both a doctor and a priest and so on) A Wizard - A civilian schooled in the scientific arts (a scientist, a geek, and so on) A Rogue - a tricky, skillful scout and spy who wins the battle by stealth rather than brute force (any kind of outlaw) A Paladin - a champion of justice and destroyer of evil (any law enforcer) A Ranger - a cunning, skilled warrior of the wilderness (a hunter, an athlete, a park ranger, and so on) A Druid/Monk - one who draws energy from the natural world to gain strange knowledge (a hippie, an environmentalist, a monk, a druid, and so on) A Worker - a civilian who spends his entire life producing work through hard labor or skill (a crafter, a worker, a businessman, a soccer mom and so on) Every person will have eventually learned how to use a weapon but the class will also define how well they adapt as a rebel. A police officer, a hunter, a gangster and a soldier will have adapted the best while a soccer mom or a computer geek might not have and are better off staying behind and producing food/items, intelligence support or new gadgets for example. Now there will be many multi-classes for example: A Rogue/Wizard could be a thief who specializes in chemistry and therefore can create explosives and/or some nasty chemicals while still being street wise. But a simple Rogue would just be a thief who is street wise. A Worker/Cleric could be a civilian who teaches night classes and is a reverend during the day or a medical doctor during the day but has a part-time job with Dominos at night because he's a work-o-holic. A Cleric/Fighter could be a chaplain in the army or a religious terrorist. Anyway this is all off the top of my head at the moment. -----signature----- "Dyin' be the day worth livin' for!" --Captain Hector Barbossa PotC: Amuletum Angiti http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3635826/1/ http://s12.gladiatus.com/game/c.php?uid=48046

	Not gonna use D20. Just borrowing the classes to define civilians. I can always rename the classes. -----signature----- "Dyin' be the day worth livin' for!" --Captain Hector Barbossa PotC: Amuletum Angiti http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3635826/1/ http://s12.gladiatus.com/game/c.php?uid=48046

	How much knowledge of the source material is required? I haven't read Naruto since about the time they saved Gaara from Akatsuki (No idea if that's a spoiler or not...). -----signature----- GM of Gathering Darkness: A Justice League AU RP - http://boards.theforce.net/non_star_wars_role_playing/b10755/29601728/p1/?0 Please feel free to submit a CS!

You really don't need much. I make it understandable for people who don't necessarily know Naruto. Sounds like you are ahead of alot of people if you know that much.

	Really, you're not missing much. Naruto and Sakura decide to go after Sasuke. They are joined by a ninja named Sai, who is apparently some sort of ninja's ninja that ninjas other ninjas. He's like emotionally stunted or something, and doesn't talk to people, but he's been secretly sent by the council of ominous old guys on a SECRET MISSION! DUN DUN DUN! They're also joined by a jounin named Yammato who's got plenty of wood. And perhaps the most dead eyes known to ninja kind. Anyways, Team Ninja decides to try to get information from Kabuto, but Oorochimaru shows up and Sai goes wandering off as Sakura reclaims her position as "most useless ninja" by getting KO'd. Naruto flips out, releases four tails and goes all fox demon. This is sort of a bad thing, because apparently it's damaging and healing him really quickly and that's not conclusive to long-term ninja health. It's about this point where Kishimoto realizes that there aren't enough DBZ comparisons, so fox demon gets its own fox demon Kamehameha, which is so powerful that it manages to blow up everything except Oorochimaru. The two battle, and Oorochimaru decides that it would probably be a better idea to snake out and leave Yammato and Sakura to deal with the demon midget. There are lots of tears about how Naruto is going through so much to save a guy who he's been friendly with for all of ten panels in this series, and Yammato manages to reverse the transformation, because he's part first-hokage and the Naruto's necklace apparently has some sort of ninja magic property. Sai shows up at Orochimaru's hideout wanting to be friends, and we get to see silhouettes of Sasuke acting all powerful and mysterious. Team Naruto shows up and predictably gets mad at Sai, then captures him. Kabuto shows up, frees Sai, then Sai captures him because emotionless ninja does not understand this thing called "friendship" and wants to learn by watching Naruto, since he never could form a relationship with his brother. They go raid the hideout, and it turns out that Sai's secret mission was to KILL SASUKE! DUN DUN DUN! Except he doesn't really want to now that he knows the Power of Friendship and all. Sasuke disapproves, and decides to prove that he's still a worthless character by fighting them all and winning. He's apparently been raiding Orochimaru's wardrobe, is also carrying a sword, and... oh yeah, apparently the Uchiha eyehacks can be used to control the tailed beasts. Orochimaru shows up again, and Team Snake go poof off, leaving Naruto to angst about how useless he is. So apparently, it's time for a training arc. Estimated time to power up: fifteen years. Oh wait, apparently any information learned by a clone is transferred back to the original ninja. Naruto spams a thousand clones to learn new ninja tricks in a thousandth of the time. Meanwhile, two new Akatsuki members show up and demonstrate their power by bagging the two-tails. They then demonstrate their power by wiping out a bunch of elite ninja we've never heard of, but apparently one of them was friends with Asuma. Asuma, Shikamaru, and those worthless ninja from the training exams form a tag team to go attempt to bag the new guys. Except... surprise! They're immortal! Asuma is killed by ninja voodoo. Shikamaru takes up smoking in memory. Kakashi gets out of the hospital, then goes and joins the leaderless Team Asuma to go get revenge on the immortal ninjas. Ninja gimmicks ensue. Shikamaru leads the voodoo ninja who killed Asuma off into the woods, and winds up burying him alive, while Kakashi and the other ninjas are bailed out by the arrival of Yammato and Naruto. Naruto's new technique? Rasengan, but it's got wind element in it, making it a wind shuriken. He then runs up and punches the other ninja with it, disintegrating him (though Kakashi finishes the ninja off). Like all techniques with anything resembling utility, Naruto finds out that this technique damages him and thus SHOULD NEVER BE USED! DUN DUN DUN! Back at the headquarters of team Sasuke, apparently Orochimaru scratched Sasuke's CDs or something because Sasuke is now trying to kill him. After a great deal of genjutsu and snake escapes, Sasuke apparently succeeds, and Sasuke gets promoted to main character. He goes and makes a literal Team Snake of his own by gathering his own band of ninja rejects. He's got a dude made of water whose gimmick is that he's made of water and somehow managed to find Zabuza's sword, a girl who's like Sasuke's version of Hinata except slightly more willing to commit sexual assault, and the dude they based the Cursed Seals off of, who's some sort of homicidal animal-loving hippie. Meanwhile, Team Kakashi, Yammato and Team Kurenai-minus-Kurenai (who is currently pregnant with Asuma's baby) go off to find Uchihas. The Akatsuki bomb ninja and his new ninja sidekick go wandering around and run into the new Team Snake. Unsurprisingly, bomb ninja starts a fight. Meanwhile, Team Naruto runs into Kabuto, who has apparently eaten Orochimaru's corpse or something in an effort to remake himself and is now looking kind of off since Orochimaru is now attempting to take over his body. Back with the protagonist, Sasuke and bomb ninja keep fighting but Sasuke's new plot armor shrugs off everything up to bomb ninja's final self destruction (Sasuke hides inside the Super Snake Summon). My contempt for this character grows. Sasuke finally manages to find Itachi, which means it's a perfect time to go focus on Jiraya as he attempts to sneak into a village run by the Akatsuki leader. Turns out the Akatsuki leader was an old student of Jiraya's and possesses some sort of ninja remote control stuff since he has the ultimate in eye hacks, the special eyes of the guy who invented ninjas. Oh yeah, and his name is now "Pain". Jiraya busts out some ninja tricks, but it doesn't really work as well as he could hope owing to Pain's horde of gimmick ninjas, and Jiraya dies after sending a frog messenger. Back to Sasuke. Sasuke and Itachi spend a bunch of time doing the "no, it is I who is standing behind you thing with genjutsu and eyehax, and Sasuke finally manages to drop an extra special lightning bolt onto Itachi with the power of HATE! All this time Itachi has been ranting about how he wants to steal Sasuke's eyes so that he can use his eyehax without going blind, except he just sort of staggers forward and dies, confusing Sasuke. Bomb ninja's ninja sidekick shows up, and surprises approximately no one by revealing that he too is an Uchiha, in fact, he's one of the first Uchihas and the founder of the Uchiha tradition of being completely worthless jerks. It turns out that when Itachi killed every single member of his family except for Sasuke, he was doing the world a favor. He's a hero, and he left Sasuke alive because he cared deeply about his brother in a bunch of flashbacks we only now see because Kishimoto is terrible at characterization. Oh yeah, and he wants Sasuke to be considered a hero, and managed to free him of the cursed seal during the fight, as well as transfer all his eyehax to Sasuke. Sasuke proves he's an Uchiha through and through by deciding he's just going to kill everyone in Konoha. Because that is the extent of his HATE because he is an utterly worthless character. He changes the name from Team Snake to Team Hawk. Naruto finally regains the spotlight as Jiraya's toad message makes it home. Naruto gets sent to train with the toads like Jiraya, in order to learn... SAGE MODE! Apparently it uses natural chakra or something to give him super ninja strength. There's a lot of off-screen stuff and hints of a THAT JUTSU. He also starts to get toad eyes when he's doing Sage stuff. Back with Team Hawk, Sasuke's master plan for destroying Konoha turns out to be signing up with the Akatsuki. As a test, he's sent to go capture the eight-tails host, who happens to be a large black guy nick-named Killer Bee. Who drinks, likes women, raps, and fights with eight swords. Strangely enough, he manages to be the most interesting character on the battlefield. He manages to stab Sasuke, but it turns out that Stalker Ninja can heal people if Sasuke bites her. Appropriately annoyed with this turn of events, Killer Bee does that low-level release thing with the aura that Naruto did back the day, and attacks. Sasuke attempts to eyehack him, but it turns out that the eight-tails inside of him is able to snap him out of it, allowing him to put a hole in Sasuke's chest. I am legitimately pleased. Unfortunately, the killer hippie also has a healing technique and Sasuke survives, prompting Killer Bee to fully transform into some sort of oxtopuss thing and use that aforementioned Kamehameha thing to blow the water dude away. Sasuke has a remorseful flashback, but owing to the utter lack of characterization the water dude has, it's all of two panels before Sasuke uses his eyehax to set the oxtopuss on fire. It also sets Stalker Ninja on fire, so Sasuke learns that he can put the eyehax out and manages to bag Killer Bee. But oops, Killer Bee's brother is the Raikage, and boy is he going to be angry at Konoha for this Uchiha intrusion. Naruto keeps training, reads Jiraya's book and has some more flashbacks. Back to Sasuke whining about how he wants to kill Konoha because that is the extent of his HATE. Apparently his eyehax have side effects. Raikage is increasingly annoyed, gathers together some sort of band of filler ninja and wants to have a Kage summit. Back at Konoha, they're trying to decipher Jiraya's message and the clues he's left in the form of a couple of bodies he sent back. Pain attacks Konoha with a bunch of his little RC ninja bots, which go around rampaging and causing Kishimoto to shuffle through the B-list ninja looking for people to off. Congratulations, you are now up to date on Naruto. Use this time I've saved you to go read a series that's actually good, such as One Piece. -----signature----- CDG Guild Master Strange how one small thing can determine the fate of so many... especially if it's a twenty-sided die The Internet is SERIOUS BIZNESS!
