This is a Spitballing thread, but one with a purpose.
What I have in mind is a RP thread for those of us that are a bit Hyper, and want something they can hit several times a day, any ol' day.
As GM, I would allow a much more free approach to the whole turn structure; you would not have to wait for anyone else to post except for those that you were directly involved with. That includes myself and the NPCs under direct control. I would also like to try an idea of mine; issuing 3 "god-points" each to allow you to allow you to claim a favorable reaction from an NPC that would otherwise be left to chance. (and you might want to save those, that's three per campaign, for as long as it lasts, period).
The whole idea is for us really dedicated attention-mongers to gather up in a thread where we can pester each other, instead of the GMs that are not inclined to be here every ding-dong day. I will, and I WILL finish what I have started, because you guys are going to let me have some fun too, aren't you?
To make this work we have to be forgiving of each other, we have to let each other know when we will be absent.... and if we can't we have to be cool about the rest of the gang getting a little ahead of us. A little, not a lot, unless we agree ahead of time that splitting into and A-team and a B-team is a good idea.
In fact, it might even be necessary, if we choose certain actions. Most groups seem to be pairs of people, but lets NOT ever leave the odd man out of it.
IF this seems like a good idea to anyone, let me know.
Now all I have to do is think of something to do, and have it ready by sometime in February.
Unfortunately , all that comes to mind is one of two extremes; a deep & psychological tale of Horror that will require serious thought instead of hack & slash... not sure how that will go over here. It is kinda moody and will make serious demands on the Chars, no matter how well thought-out they are.
Or, one played for laughs. Kind of a nebulous idea, about a cast of also-rans and/or rejects that are wandering about in the wake of some of the Heroic folks in the comic.... never actually meeting them but always getting caught in the fallout.
Comedy is difficult to do well, so .... this might be the greater challenge.
Or something else, lets brain-storm and figure something out.
