So NV Hey non-Modern players!

Are we gonna go this saturday? We could set up our own table and start another game, mutants and masterminds perhaps? Morondude? Protoss? Petra?

 

Well, MR-V1N and Protoss were planning on playing M&M at my place Saturday, but if you wanna come too, we could do up a character for you, or you could take over the Super Villian.

Maybe instead of all coming to my place we could meet at the Church... but we were planning on starting around 5:30pm.

 

Petra is moving into her new apartment of doom and destruction this Saturday, so the game is a no go.....sorry.....

 

If you want to meet at the church that early to play M&M, let me know. That might be just fine...

 

Sounds good, lets try at the church then. Talon let us know how fesible that time is. Or should we meet later?

 

We could always meet at some restaurant at 5:30, eat, drink and be merry, and then come to the Church around 6:30, if that's better?

 

That would be good if I had any money but Im poor.

 

Hmmm... I wonder if Anthony still has any coupons left... Samuel really liked that waitress at Terrible's.

 

Lies! Anthony was the one getting all the attention. We could go somewhere a little closer this time.

 

Yeah, but buy one get one free Buffets don't grow on trees, y'know!

 

Anthony DOES have coupons for 2 for 1 buffet at Terrible's Casino. So if Axia and Protoss want to go there... That'd work. And don't worry Axia... you'll eat for free.

So, IF that's cool, we'll plan on meeting there at 5:30. We probably will finish about 6:30 and we can be at the church by 6:50-7:00pm.

 

what is this game you are speaking of???

Hey Morondude, what level do characters in your M&M game start at? is it the standard 10 or something else?

 

10 is what Protoss and MR-V1N are, yes. Their villians are a bit above that for the sake of a challenge.


A few things we'll have to do without at the church:
1. My rulebook is on my computer, so I'll have to make notes and such for important rules.
2. I know how much Protoss and MR-V1N just LOVE it, but all my mood music is also on my computer, so we'll have to do without that also.

 

Any special rules or things I should take into account when I create my character? what powers do the others have?

 

things to take into account:

1. Weaknesses! Weaknesses add a neat dimension to any character... plus gives you 10 bonus points to spend. (If you have a question as to whether a weakness is good enough, PM me.)

2. MR-V1N's character is your typical Super Strong, flying character. Instead to lazer eyes, he has fire energy blasts. Instead of... um anything else that Superman can do, he can animate objects. His weakness is a need to save his brother, Protoss' character, any time he needs it.

3. Protoss' character is quite interesting. He has telepathy, telekenisis (with the energy blast extra), Super wisdom, super inteligence, and a few other super abilities. He has two weaknesses. He shares the need to save his brother, MR-V1N's character, and also is Mute. He communicates telepathicly to everyone.

4. Setting: You're a Mutant in a world that still fears and hates mutants. You live in New York City. You'll need a secret identity, costume that masks your identity, and a real job (something that you can get away from and save the day without getting fired.)

 

Can I have that morphing material for my costume so I can change in the blink of an eye?

Can I choose whatever my real world job is? I was reading about HQs and vehicles as well. I was hoping to have a small HQ and maybe a vehicle with some of the attributes available as provided in the rules. You know kind of Batman like only not so much. Maybe a tiny one man fighter type deal or a bike. Let me know what of these I can have and how many attributes for the vehicle and hq I can have.

 

Morphing costume? Sure!


You have to choose a job with these things in mind:
1. One that will give you enough money to survive.
2. One that will give you the ability to leave if there is some trouble.
3. One that the GM, me, will find acceptable and not too over the top. (examples of unacceptable jobs: C.E.O.; President of the United States; Independently Wealthy; Bill Gates)

MR-V1N's job: On Call Cameraman for various news and commercial companies.

Protoss' job: Freelance Computer Repairman


HQ and vehicle? Only if your job would supply you with enough money to purchase/build and maintain them. If you want a HQ, like an apartment, I don't see a problem. An underground complex might be a bit too much.

 

So no really cool motorcycle with shields, armor and missles then? But I could have just a really cool motorcycle?

Can my character be a popular comic book artist?

 

this game sounds really cool! I wanna play I wanna play!!

Maybe we should coerce MoronDude to GM this game every other Sat night instead of the Marvel game that way I could actually play in a game too...


Or would that cause rioting among the Marvel group?

 

The only problem I see with that is the fact that this game came about so the non modern players could have something to do on those alternate saturdays. Replace marvel with M&M and we're back to not having a game every other saturday or some players missing every other game as you host modern.

Guess we could run two m&m games, and this is a streamlined d20 system built for fast gameplay and the Marvel one is kinda odd I guess.

Morondude? So are we eating at this terribles place? Where is it? where are we meeting? when?

 

I would be the only guy who would be the odd man out every other weekend. Perhaps some sort of concession could be made...? Plus, technically, you guys would be at the church where I would be running the modern game, so if you really needed me... I would be there...


just a thought. If it is all too much, then onward and upwards to Marvel we go!

 

Hmmmmm, Sounds good to me if you arent worried about the logistics. I think I like the rules of Mutants and Masterminds better myself. But that would have to be taken up by a vote Im thinking.

 

Can my character be a popular comic book artist?

How about an independant comic book artist that turns his own adventures into his comic book character's? Heck, it could be a two man job. Talon's character could be your partner... you both produce the comic book and fight crime in NYC. As far as popular, you might have a large underground fan base in New York and maybe through the internet.


Maybe we should coerce MoronDude to GM this game every other Sat night instead of the Marvel game.

I have to admit, I'm not as talented a GM as the great Talon_Wolfe, but if you guys are willing to bear with me, I wouldn't mind. If this were to happen, I guess you'd take my spot in the game, but Anthony also plays in my current game.


Morondude? So are we eating at this terribles place? Where is it? where are we meeting? when?

I'm still waiting to see if Sam is okay with this, since we need an even numeber of people, but if he is:

Where: Terrible's Casino on the corner of Paradise and Flamingo. We'll meet outside the Buffet. It isn't too hard to find, and there's probably signs everywhere.

When: I'd like to meet at 5:30pm so we can be at the church by 7:00pm.


I think I like the rules of Mutants and Masterminds better myself.

I read through the rules in Marvel, and the M&M rules are much easier, and it is left wide open for customization. If we went either way, I'd vote for M&M. Plus, everything... EVERYTHING is resolved by a d20. There is no need for any other type of dice (unless you use optional rules).
