Gauging interest.
I designed a custom system for running Power Rangers / Sentai style games. I've had a chance to run this several times IRL and it has always been a blast! I think the rules are favorable for PbP play, so I'd like to give it a go here as well.
I'll link to the rules sheet I made for my last group soon, but I think it might be helpful to list some basic tenets that inform the flow of the system.
That about does it for a mechanical summary. Despite how it may look, this is actually a very simple and intuitive system of play. My last game had two players who were new to tabletop entirely, and two experienced D&D players. All were able to get into things without a hitch, and most focus was on the roleplay opportunities provided.
My plan is to run this story drawing inspiration from the Mirai Sentai Timeranger / Power Rangers Time Force series - a personal favorite. The basic conceit is that in the far future, the Time Protection Agency sends a team of agents into the past to track down a gang of time criminals and prevent them from destroying the future. They travel to the year 2000, and there meet their fifth member. Most of the show will take place in the year 2000 in a Monster of the Week fashion - but the potential for further time travel or space travel remains wide open. I am rather fond of this setup, but I am also willing to run a more traditional Sentai startup if that is favored by potential players. More traditionally, a group of normal teenagers or young adults is initiated into some kind of high magic or technology which can grant them ranger powers in exchange for their vow to defend earth against the constant monster of the week style threats. (With some overrarching plot elements, of course.)
So, what do you all think? Are any of you ready to don the Red, the Blue, the Yellow, the Black, the Pink, or the Green? I am looking for 4-5 players who can get into a semi-serious, semi-comedic action drama about finding themselves and their motivation to be protectors. Each player will need to choose their own color and mask design. I will request that special colors such as Titanium, White, Silver, Gold, and so on be held off on for now (sticking to rainbow colors and black), but Color Changes are a strong possibility if the game continues onward!
I have a heavily multimedia PbP style where I include images and gifs along with text to paint a picture. It would be a great boon to find other potential players who enjoy playing along in this way. This game is particularly ripe because the Sentai/Rangers verse has a ton of images to draw from!
Looking for: Consistent Characterization, Sense of Humor, Roleplay Experience, Cool ideas.
No knowledge or passion for Super Sentai or Power Rangers needed.
