Amount of RPs — The most you've been in at once!

2-3 is the magic number for me, especially since I am in two games that have been going for 1 and 2 years, respectively.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

I'm going to do that just so you can be all OH SNAP GOTTA WRITE MORE STUFF IMMEDIATELY OMG!

Also I kind of need Quicksilver to make EVEN MORE friends! He is a people person after all.

@DrewVonAwesome

I WANT to write for Spidey! I cannot be outdone by Eddie Brock in the Spider-Man department!

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

Finally got that post up. I will try to get a Hawkeye post up over the weekend, unless Drew throws up a Quicksilver post before then, which would result in me writing something for my personal favorite, Spider-Man!

Also, I now that making this post might seem a little insensitive about what happened recently in Kansas, but I had this post in my head for the past couple of days and I didn't want to see that creative spark disappear before I could write it down.

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

A blond-haired man slipped into a Christian chapel that was located in the Bible Belt on this one fateful Wednesday afternoon. Other than the fact that he continued to wear his dark sunglasses into the house of God, the man did not look that much out of place. He wore a pair of khaki pants along with blue dress shirt and a sports jacket of a darker hue of blue. The mysterious man took a seat in one of the rear pews, so that he would not attract any unwanted attention.

In just the last couple weeks, there were reports that the pastor from this church had been performing miracles that would have rivaled those that accounted in the Bible. One man claimed that the pastor had somehow restored his ability to walk. A woman, who came to this chapel, left cured of her breast cancer. Another man, elderly in age, even discovered that the pains of his arthritis had disappeared. However, there was something fishy about all these incidents. Even with people like the Valkyrie being around, things like this do not occur on a daily basis.

The man waited in the chapel as the pastor run through the usual Wednesday service until she asked anyone who was suffering some kind of illness or condition to come up to be healed. Before the man stood up from his pew, he looked down at his watch, or at least what appeared to be a watch, and saw that it had a green ring around the glass. Although he was unable to reach the pastor first, the man was able to acquire the second spot in line. When it was his turn for his chance at being healed, the pastor asked what illness or condition troubled him and reassured him that the love of God will free him of that pain.

“Your existence.” The man bluntly said after he glanced down again at his watch, which now had a red ring instead of the green one. The entire chapel immediately became silent. You could have heard a pen drop in that room. All the parishioners, along with the pastor, were astonished at what the man said, not knowing what he meant by that.

“Excuse me?” The pastor asked the blond-haired man after she took a step back from him.

“I am truly sorry about what I must do, but I am sure that your loved ones would rather remember you as how you are instead of what you would have become”.

Before anyone else in the room could do anything, the mysterious man held up his hand towards the pastor, as if he was holding a non-existent gun. However, suddenly the man’s watch morphed into what appeared to been some kind of futuristic, or extraterrestrial, firearm. Gripping the weapon, the man shot a green orb through the torso of the pastor, burning a circular hole in her body where the wound would have been.

Once the others in the room realized what had happened, they all started to dash towards the door. However, they discovered the doors were locked, even though the switch that locked the doors was not turned.

“Don’t be alarmed, everyone.” The man in the blue suit declared calmly, especially for having killed someone just a few seconds ago. “My name is Walter Lawson, an agent of the Sentient World Observation and Response Department, or S.W.O.R.D. for short. I will be scanning all of you today for any Brood infections and eliminating these risks. Fortunately, you all will not remember a single moment of this encounter.”

Agent Lawson pulled a small device from a pocket on the inside of his dark blue sports coat. It appeared like a nice quality pen or some other type of metallic, thin cylinder. He held out the device and pressed the only button on it. A bright flash was generated from the device. Once the light had disappeared, all the people in the chapel, except for Agent Lawson, had a blank expression on each of their faces. Now that everyone was ‘cooperating’, the agent of S.W.O.R.D. went about his business.

@Dedonus Thanks for the advice, I'll bear it in mind going forward. Hopefully this lasts as long as ASM/CAH.

@Morden Man

Thanks, Morden Man. I wish you all luck on this game. :)

The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

Sorry about posting in a thread in which I am not involved. I would throw my hat in to the ring with an application, but I don't think I have the time to commit to this game while keeping the sister games (All-Star Marvel and Create-A-Hero - 1 and 2 years old now ) going strong. I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.

First of all, @Morden Man, it is definitely none of my business on how you run this game. I just wanted to point out one different between the current All-Star Marvel/Create-A-Hero RPG and the other sister games that have been fortunate enough to last as long as these two previous games. In the former, with only a few exceptions, we usually started by focusing on one character and then added more once we got the game rolling (for instance, in ASM, I started with Spider-Man, then I added Hawkeye, then finally Ms. Marvel). However, in the latter, I have noticed a trend of people applying for 2-3 characters at the very beginning of the game. While I am not at all claiming that this was the reason that made those other games to "die" while the All-Star Marvel and Create-A-Hero games are still going strong, but I did just wanted to put out what I saw.

And please don't take this personally. I would love to see this game thrive and what I said above might not turn out true for this game. But as a fellow GM of a similar game, I just wanted to share my thoughts on this trend that I have seen over the past two or so years since being in these types of games. Also, it is kind of too late now to apply any changes, but just for future reference. :)

This is the question. Honestly, I prefer how I did it with White Tiger/Iron Fist and Iron Man/Captain America in my previous game. Long collabs can soak up too much time and I've seen them kill games with their superfluous content. It'd be best to play off each other even if the posts end up being short or result in "flooding" the IC.

@Gowi

I think the pitfall for some collaborative posts is that people think that they have to get the entire interaction into one post. What they should be doing is writing out "regular sized" posts instead of these colossal walls of texts. If people would take that approach (i.e. try writing a "regular" post and breaking up the interaction into multiple posts), then I think that these collaborations can be more successful.

<Snipped quote by Dedonus>

Hmm I thought there was. Right. Well that's why the GMs know better.

@VATROU

In a previous version of this roleplay, there was an alien invasion. But not in this one, if I recall correctly.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

@KaiserElectric Well there's plenty of reasons to counter dangerous threats. We had a demon invasion, and i think an Alien long before that. Ded or NMS would know for sure. Plus Nightmare the Villain not the GM has been around for a while.

@VATROU

I don't think there was an alien invasion (yet). There have been alien characters, but no full-scale assaults on Earth.

Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

Nexus and I are working on the Arachne/War-Pulse collaboration...and I hope to get someone up for Iron Knight tomorrow/Thursday.

Unfortunately, although I would not encourage it...
