Game Title: Something Wicked This Way Comes
System: Hunter: The Vigil
Players Wanted: 3 or more, up to 6 total.  But if 3 people are good to go, I'll start
Posting Rate: Couple times per week, depending on how often people can post
Special Rules: Very rules-light, focusing much more on atmosphere and character than hard and fast rules. Oh, also, NO TACTICS, because I really don't like those HtV rules.
Advancement Rules: Standard HtV advancement

OK, so here's what I'm thinking.  This will be a totally first-tier game (no compacts) with characters at fairly low-power.  (All the better to scare you! BWAHAHA!) It'll be set in DC, and I'll talk more about setting and plot after some people sign up.  So...anyone interested?

OK, here's the worksheets.  I didn't do the second page 'cause I thought the history was in my character pitch, and I don't want to start adding my contacts until I get a sense of the world.  (I don't want to give myself contacts that are too "deus ex machina")

I'm so glad you like him! Yeah, the Orrin thing was just the original name of the character until I realized it felt too weird for the character I was going for.

So for the character generation, we don't have to roll for attributes, we can pick them ourselves, right?

Character Profiles / Character Pitch: Thomas Hatch
« on: April 17, 2011, 02:51:52 AM »
OK, so I'm just going to do a general overview of what I'm imagining as my character.  Please tell me if it conflicts with any story ideas you have or wouldn't mesh well with the group.

"Thomas Hatch is a journalist.  Well, if you call reporting on bake sales, the Redwood Festival, and that time the Lady Falcons won the the women's hockey state championship journalism.  Which he doesn't. 

Thomas went to a fairly prestigious college, as he continually reminds himself, but well, his dad was the editor of the Bourne Daily Gazette, and when good old Irving Hatch died (in the arms of someone most definately not Orrin's mother) the paper just kind of passed along to him.  It's not exactly a bad life, and Thomas is good at his job, good at talking to people and making them feel comfortable enough to share their stories with him. 

Thomas is slim and short, with perpetually uncombed knots of thick black hair falling over coke bottle glasses that make his eyes appear almost buglike.  He looks, and is, unthreatening, though he does have some lock-picking and data entry skills left over from the year after college when he tried desperately to be the next Bob Woodward.  At 30, that year is long past, though he remembers it fondly, especially after one too many drinks."

This is just a rough sketch of a character, hope you like him!

Well, this sounds wonderful, I'm definitely down for it.  Just tell me what you need, and I'll get to it!

ah, yeah, just read the system.  It seems a bit too complex for my liking, I'm going to have to bow out.  You guys have fun though!

"Sure, go ahead and read up on the previous posts and start creating the character. Email it to me: nightraider0[at]gmail.com"

Thanks!  I'll get started right away!

Hey, are you guys still accepting players?  I've been reading Eclipse Phase and it sounds really cool.  I was thinking of playing a journalist, kind of a Transhumanist Hunter S. Thompson.  Let me know if I'm in!

RPGs / New GM: PLEASE HELP!
« on: December 01, 2010, 09:56:37 PM »
So I've been interested in Tabletop RPGs for a while now (mostly due to the RPPR Actual Play podcast) and I've gotten a group of my similarly interested friends together.  The problem is, they want me to GM!  Now, I'm fine with this, I'm just a bit lost.  What System should I start with?  How long should the session go on?  Any first time GM tips?

A little background: the group is all either acting or film majors, so I'm pretty sure they wouldn't like the whole standard dungeon crawl.  Also, there's a game shop near the college, so I'll be able to get pretty much any system you guys suggest.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the "Hanna is not a boy's name" link, I'm really liking it.

If we're talking about good webcomics, I think octupus pie really needs to be mentioned.

It's a bit hipstery, but the characters are just so well realized.  And where else are you going to find a This American Life parody?

I agree.  We know each other, but we wouldn't necessarily trust our lives to each other.
