Looking to start a new RP SG with 7 strangers.

[Grack]

Hi Everlasting,

 

So just have been liking the idea lately of having a group to roleplay going through the game ala Avengers/JLA.  Idea would be keep it at 8.  Play at least once a week. Go through the story lines we want. Do all the taskforces.  Take our time.  I do want to handle in game stuff on discord.  All details really I want to leave up to the 7 of us but the general gist is a RP focused group roleplaying meeting up forming the group and then existing in Paragon City game.  At the same time have the missions have context beyond text on the screen  You know make our own weekly comic...)

 

I do want to make the gameplay challenging.  Not sure best way to do that but figure we can decide on the best way for us.  

 

Want a nice blend of characters and people but most important is just an genuine interest to play nicely with others and want to have fun.  

 

If interested let me know.

 

Many alts.  I do have a lvl 46 finally!

I have a "few" alts, with plenty of room for more; and I'd be more interested in rolling up a fresh character for a project like this.

I'm assuming that, since you list Avengers/JLA as examples of what you're interested in this SG being, there's no real "theme", other than that it's a modern day group. 

To ME, the SG name is very important. I've found that it can either make or break RP immersion. I'd suggest that, if you have one, you register it before publishing it here.

I'm also, obviously, curious as to what time/day you're thinking of meeting.

 

Feel free to contact me ingame at @Captain Valiant.

Hey Cap,

 

The only theme that matters to me really is it being a group of strangers of different backgrounds coming together and then away we go kind of thing. 

 

Maybe I should say it like this.  Looking for 7 players for a session 0 for a superhero rpg.  We will all be playing our characters.   DM will be the game with help from all of us.  Location paragon city, diverse group of characters and archetypes desired.  The name and fun details come out of that collaborative session.  

 

Time/day is flexible considering cst "normal" time schedule so far being the only restriction on my end except for Saturdays and Sunday days.  Will have to go from there as more people show interest.

I'm down. @Thought Process in-game!

[WumpusRat]

Could be interesting. Though my work schedule is a bit wonky for most regular times. 

I work second shift (4pm - midnight) PST and my weekend is tues/weds, so that kind of puts me off track with most people. 🙂

[GaelicReign]

I have some established avatars as well as some ideas/alts that I would be interested in bringing. Are you wanting each of the characters to be homages or pastiches of some of the JLA/Avengers, and certain roles filled? Like a tech guy = Iron man, dark detective/genius = Batman, etc.?

[Captain Valiant]

I'd suggest that we all "meet" at level 7, so that each character has a bit of history and a couple of useful skills. Perhaps the characters would start their individual stories with the Origin Contacts in City Hall, so that there'd be more variation.

 

There would be no twinking with START Vendor stuff, including XP Boosts. A Nemesis Staff wouldn't be unique if we all had one, for example.

Setting mission difficulty to +1 would likely be enough to keep the gameplay enjoyable without a lot of losses, as well as making unique storylines to use in the AE.

 

I would further suggest that we only play these particular characters when we are all together so that nobody outlevels the rest.

 

Just ideas.

[GaelicReign]

All involved may want to join up on characters that aren't going to be in the SG so that we can hash out all the fine details, get on the same page. And a base builder would be great, lol

Lol, I meant "gather" not "join up". Fingers goin faster than brain, 😁

[GaelicReign]

5 out of 8, almost there. Just need to get together in-game, chat with each other. @GaelicReign in-game.

 

[Grack]

Woo hoo more interest!   First my apologies especially to Cap valiant,  had some family stuff pop up and have not gotten back to him.  

 

I like the ideas so far.  Some of my musings have been along the lines of the no start buffs unless something fits the character concept on all new characters.  Kinda plan the 1 to 10 levels where we then come together and "form" the group.  Try to find a manufactured "organic" ways to come together.  Hell we could just run positron or dfb as the formation arc and figure out how to get there.  Plan individual meetups until the lvl 8 or not.  

 

As for roles/archtypes, yes something like that except less focus on Ironman type but having a tech guy would make sense.  Don't want to recreate either team just the spirit.  Like the idea of the different perspectives of a tech guy trying to talk with a god and an alien while someone is doing yoga in the background trying to block out the noise of the yammering idiots kind of scene.  

 

I'll start getting in touch with people tonight and go from there.

Excellent. I don't want to recreate either team either. Coming up with a new spin on roles/concepts will be the hook. Bouncing ideas off one another in-game before we settle on everything, and plotting out stories, for me, is the fun part. I love writing stories.

[GaelicReign]

We making any progress gents?

[MightyMarty]

Just ran across this thread. How's the team coming, gang? Shout if you're still looking. Always a pleasure to serve justice as a team and all.

[GaelicReign]

AFAIK we are. Haven't had a meeting in-game yet, but I'm hoping we do this weekend. Working with a small group of strangers is very appealing.

[MightyMarty]

Well, I’ll keep an eye out for you fine folks tomorrow and this weekend. Nice timing, “Heroes” style, with Monday’s eclipse over the central U.S.

[Grack]

Hey,

 

I'll be on tonight.  As long as Cap can make it we will meet up this weekend. 

 

We will start with however many we can and add as we go.  Little meet and greet this weekend and then the actual "session 0" next week(end) depending on time for everyone sound good to all?

 

 

[GaelicReign]

Sounds good, Grack.

Apologies for not being around the past week. RL got persistent. Also, my mic is fracked with little hope of replacement for the immediate future. May I suggest an ingame meeting at some private spot (base/AE mission) where we can sort stuff out? MY hours this weekend are completely flexible, but we'll need to accommodate WampusRat's schedule. I'll leave it up to you all. @Captain Valiant ingame.

[GaelicReign]

We could meet up in Outbreak on an avatar we're thinking of using. Or like the Captain said, somewhere tucked away. And I suggest a certain time tonight.

[Grack]

Let me check in with Wumpus if he still interested.  Think he had the known scheduling requirements.  Sent Bonafide a message in game but he never responded.  Tonight or tomorrow work for you Mighty?

 

 

[Captain Valiant]

Just a thought here, but trying to meet in Outbreak won't necessarily put us all in the same instance. Something to keep in mind.

You're right. It's a completely different shard.

Oh, you sent a message? I never got it, sorry! Sometimes I go afk for a while while dealing with rl stuff. And if it's in in-game mail, mine's always packed full of recipes that I send back and forth between characters, so I never know if I've gotten something new. 🙂

 

I'm at work right now, so I won't be home 'til midnight pst. But if it's earlier in the day tomorrow (before 3:30pm which is around when I need to get ready to leave for work) then I could show up. 

 

Also, "she" btw not "he". 🙂
