[OOC] The Legion of Superheroes RETURN

[DrewVonAwesome]

Ugh, I'm not going to lie, part of me is tempted to just have you edit Bulk Lad left the team after the last fight. I don't know why but I just can't seem to muster an effort for this RP.

[Omega Man]

You need a new character?

~KL~

[DrewVonAwesome]

I don't know if that'll do it...

[Omega Man]

@DrewVonAwesomeWe could switch it up and go with that Titanic Lad character we made for that Legion RP awhile back, after we go to the past and come back? We could go for somebody a little more in line with your stretchy character fandom like a teen version of Plastic Man or Mr. Fantastic?

@rocketrobie2 @Gisk @bluetommy2 @Burning Kitty if you guys know anybody that would join in on this let them/us know! I LOVE stat based games despite there being more work on my end making stat cards for everyone and enemies and the like, but I don't want to move forward with the type of setting with only a handful of characters and an NPC or two.

If we can't find enough people interested in this type of theme I'd be up for trying something else with the same format. I'm honestly shocked more people were into the idea of the Legion rather than the X-Men. I've already got iChecks written for a few RPs including Batman Gotham Knights, a remake of my YJ 2020 series, an OC universe with a set-up somewhat mirroring what's being done in the Arrow tv series, etc. and I could rework any of them into a stat based RP.

I bumped the iCheck to see if we could find somebody out of (3 Viewing) people who watch the Tabletop forums regularly LOL.

@The Kid Lantern

I don't know, honestly neither idea really appeals to me right now.

[Omega Man]

@DrewVonAwesome I PM'ed you back since my time online is a little hectic right now.

___________________________________

If we can keep this going I'd really like to, but if not I'd still like to have some sort of stat based superhero RP. Legion isn't really a concept that works with a small cast, which is the main reason I'd wanna go ahead and put it to sleep if we dropped below six players. I had originally toyed with the idea of letting players have multiple characters, which would make the Legion look more like the Legion, however it was gonna be more of a reward system and given to players who had ten posts or more. At the moment it's only myself and the new Co-GM. It'd be a problem too I think if new recruits came in and immediately wanted two characters. And with what I had planned for the 'Time Traveling Adventure' and tying us all to the Kingdom Come universe... it's not really a good place to open with even more characters involved. Maybe I got too ambitious with the story direction, since a lot of you didn't know about Kingdom Come, but I think what we've been doing so far has been great. Even with the late additions, everyone came in and understood the mechanics and wrote some pretty damn good posts.

@DrewVonAwesome @rocketrobie2 @Gisk @bluetommy2 @Burning Kitty

I need everybody's 2¢ on this if we don't move forward with Legion. Was just gonna make a general Tabletop iCheck for a few ideas I've got iChecks already written up for...

My RP ideas...

So at the moment my Legion stat based RP is on the rocks and desperately in need of one or two more new players. However, if it can't be saved the next RP icheck will still be stat based and use the same format, albeit with a different theme. Listed below is a synopsis for Legion as well as a handful of other RP's I already have iChecks written up for future games that could be moved over to being a stat based RP. Remember I only need like one or two new additions for Legion, everything else would be starting from the ground up. I won't bother posting stat system details, since the Legion can be linked to and used for reference if need be [and I bumped the original iCheck for that as well to see what good it would do].

The Legion of Superheroes RETURNS -

The Legion had suffered since the betrayal of one of their own around the year 3000, but recently has risen from the ashes. The 'RETURN' in the title references how we'll be going to the past and changing a big event in Kingdom Come (which makes us the Legion of Earth 22) and returning with a Flashpoint like universe. Things will change, as well as our mentor and characters themselves, and after going back to the past again to fix things we'll return to a universe that's mostly right but with some things different even still. It's a real Back to the Future like arc that's sure to be a fun ride.

__________________________________

Gotham Knights - Wrath of Bane -

Bane has killed Batman's sidekicks and taken Batgirl hostage. Batman is gonna have to play dirty to save his friend and can't go to the League for help. Prepare to go everywhere between Gotham and Bane's island fortress of Santa Prisca. A new team will be formed to take down Bane once and for all. Heroes, villains, it doesn't matter to Batman so long as Bane is shut down.

__________________________________

Young Justice est. 2020 -

This is something of a remake of the old YJ 2020 series I did a few years back that lasted quite awhile. The Justice League sponsors several young heroes to participate in the program that rewards them with JL status in the end. Their base of operations this time around puts them in Midway City just after the disappearance of Hawkman. Can the young inexperienced heroes stop what's left of Hawkman's rogues gallery from bringing Hell on Earth?

__________________________________

Champions of Megacity -

Somewhat like the Arrow tv series, a powerless hero comes out of retirement when he discovers an odd pattern in missing persons with superpowers in his corner of Megacity. The greying man who was once called Arrowcaster gathers a group of young superhumans to defend their home from whatever foe may be taking their lives. Original characters wanted for this one as it's an original universe. Gonna be about the same tone as Arrow as well just without the annoying flashbacks and Olicity. Okay, maaaybe one or two flashbacks...

__________________________________

X-Men Blue & Gold -

This is basically two RPs in one. Do you like the Academy aspect of the X-Men universe? Or do you prefer the costumed superheroics of some of the premiere mutants? This RP will be split down the middle with half the cast still in Xavier's School and the other half in the field as the newest generation of mutant heroes. Remake a classic X-character for this or bring in a complete original. The first arc will deal with new students arriving while the Gold team will deal with a threat from the future.

__________________________________

the Flash: Speed Force -

When parallel Earths begin getting destroyed, a Flash from another world enlists several other speedsters from around the Multiverse to aid him in his mission. Can we defeat what he believes is a threat only the Speed Force can take on? What or who is this multiversal force of nature? And what's so great about super speed? The level of experience is a key factor in this RP, and players will get to use the sub-powers of superspeed to varying degrees.

So... thoughts?

@The Kid Lantern My votes are on continuing Legion, YJ 2020 and Wrath of Bane. I really love using Pano but the appeal of making a more batman-y themed hero or a Young Justice character would be cool.

[Burning Kitty]

I am down for the following:
Continuing this one.
The Legion of Superheroes RETURNS* (not sure how this is different from this one based on what you told me about what happens after the next mission)
Gotham Knights - Wrath of Bane* (Sounds more like the Wrath of Batman)
Young Justice est. 2020*
X-Men Blue & Gold

*I can adopt my idea for WW's daughter into it.

[Omega Man]

@Burning Kitty The blurb for the Legion was for the current game. Initially it was called LoSH Reborn, but I changed it to 'Return' awhile back after coming up with the Kingdom Come time traveling adventure. We'd only need to recruit one or two players to keep this one going, but I wanted to include it on the list for now.

~KL~

[Bluetommy]

I am down for continuing this one, and if not I'll do Wrath of Bane, Xmen, or The Flash.

[Omega Man]

I've already got characters in mind for nearly every one of them, so I'm good with whatever. Waiting to hear back from another PM with Drew.

It's just that if I'm only gonna do three games at a time on the Guild, I'd like for one of them to be stat based.

The Legion of Superheroes RETURNS
>Continue to use Maxima and her eventual time altered form

Gotham Knights - Wrath of Bane
>Wonder Woman's daughter, can't use the code name Wonder Woman though

Young Justice est. 2020
>Wonder Woman's daughter, can't use the code name Wonder Woman though

X-Men Blue & Gold
>I have two I never used, one will require modification & the other the history might have to change. EDIT: After reviewing them, I am not really interested in them anymore.

Why is some of the text green? I didn't alter the color any at all.

[DrewVonAwesome]

Truthfully I think I would stick with just LoSH (the ideas me and KL were talking about involving Bulk Lad I'm keeping him) but if I had to pic I'd say YJ2020 (Maybe lighten the tone up a whole bunch from the last go around) and X-Men Blue/Gold.

[Omega Man]

@DrewVonAwesome The tone would've been more in line with TAS. Hawkman wasn't 'dead' he had just 'disappeared' LOL

Glad you're sticking around all the same!

~KL~

[Bluetommy]

@Burning Kitty Some of the text is green because you used ">"

>It's a 4chan thing
