Seeking 4 - 5 players for a superheroes game using Prowlers and Paragons Ultimate Edition at a high power level. The game premise is: six months ago almost all known superheroes and many super villains sacrificed their lives to save Earth from annihilation from a conquering alien power known as the Demiurge. The Demiurge sought to transform Earth's societies into something based on his insane vision of a just world, judging humanity to be cruel and malignant. The battle against the Demiurge caused a massive amount of damage to the world's infrastructure and even the strongest and stablest of civilizations are on the brink of breaking down into lawlessness. Many supervillains, old and new have come out from hiding, seeing an opportunity. Maybe out of desperation, the Defense Corp Academy was formed to train the next generation of superheroes. This is an original setting, but one influenced more so by DC comics and the Justice League, but I've been reading more DC lately, not to say you won't see the influences of X-Men (pre-pre House of M), Daredevil and the more recent MCU.

I think I would be interested in this. I have never played this system, never played pbp, and am not very familiar with this site so I don't even know if this is the right way to show interest. Also, I don't really like overly descriptive gore or sexual situations.

Prowlers and Paragons Ultimate Edition is pretty straightforward, only using 6 sided die. Let's say a character has a Might of 8d and they punch another character. They'd roll 8 six sided die. Let's say they got 6 successes. The individual about to get punched will roll their highest defense roll. Maybe this character is quick (active) or maybe they are armored (passive).  This character happens to be quick and has the power Evasion at a rank of 7d. They roll 7 six-sided die and get 5 successes. The defender takes 1 point of damage (6 - 5= 1).

There is a little more to it than that, but that's the basic skeleton of combat, minus special effects. But even special effects are usually defended by an active or passive defense. I think P&PUE does powers and character creation really well. I think this game might have mature themes, but I don't think often and I'm not certain they'd become too graphic in regards to gore or violence. That has not been the case in previous games I have played on RPOL.

I've been going back and forth between this setting and another idea set during World War 2 - a team of gifted individuals recruited from the Allies to fight in the shadows against the Thule Society and the Germans....

Well the first scenario sounded more interesting if only because I feel vad guys shouldn't be bad for no reason, they should want the world to be a certain way and their methods are questionable. This also gives a partynan opportunity to make bad choices or even join the other side (which would be less ok in WW2 scenarios)

If you'd like to play request access to the game so I can add you.

In reply to Mister Vain (msg # 5):I am sorry I was not aware of the two week age restriction limit so it seems I can't join until Friday.

In reply to Entercustomnamehere (msg # 6):

That's okay. I'll be looking for you on Friday. I should have just went with the Mature rating.

In reply to Mister Vain (msg # 7):

I have requested access and bought the rules. I will try to make a character and send it to you.

In reply to Mister Vain (msg # 7):

Still waiting on access, sorry. I have made a character concept. Unfortunately it is kind of close to the Firestorm (DC Comics) or Venom archetype. Dimensional Manipulation/dual identity powers. https://docs.google.com/spread...13E/edit?usp=sharing
