I'll have the OOC and possibly the IC both up tonight sometime after work. Still accepting quality character sheets for now...

Justice League: Futures End

<Snipped quote by The Kid Lantern>

True. Maybe try PM'ing some of them, to ask if they're still in?

@Jotunn Draugr

I think having a lot of the same players in both Futures End and Titans of Gotham has become a problem. Gonna stick a pin in both of them soon if they don't pick up before it becomes a chore PMing players and nagging them to post. When somebody joins a game and then breaks contact despite being on the site regularly for no apparent reason it's aggravating. One person in particular in another game is bad for not responding to PMs or @ tagging and to me it's kinda rude to just ignore somebody like that.

Yeah the caveman idea was good.

Somebody who gains powers via drugs would be acceptable, like the guy in Heroes who did needle dope to have prophetic visions. Just don't go on and say 'this drug gives him strength and super speed, this one gives him fire breath, this one gives him a sixth sense...' because I don't want a ton of overlapping powers. As we have it we've got a character with proportionate strength of bugs, my guy who's increased attributes are similar to wolves, an Olympian archer with increased stats, an otherworldy knight with increased stats, the test tube hero with increased strength and durability... The only thing that's really separating everyone is the degrees of their strength and durability. Less is more at this point. If somebody came in with just one or two powers it'd make things a bit easier to digest. I'm gonna have to make a strength chart just to see where everyone w/strength stands...

Radiance looks good so far!

Also, on the name of the city... I really dig Silver City and New Athens. A few of you seem to dig New Athens so we'll most likely go with that and separate the town into boroughs and such. Shadow Falls, Jefferson Heights, Highland Park, etc... IDK what all we'll throw in there. I really dig the layout of Astro City so something along those lines would be cool.

I gotta go into work now for about 6-7 hours or so. You guys play nice. I'll also be in the market for a Co-GM to help me run this thing and help folks brainstorm on how to interconnect characters and such. We should also come up with a city name for where we'll all be operating, the different boroughs, etc.

That's why I was going to insist on the Judge or Oddie going up against my Dark Wolf since he's more of a monster than run of the mill hero or villain. I think if we form a team a lot of the walking the line characters will either become a group similar to Marvel's Thunderbolts, or tone down the violence a bit for public image and all depending on the origin of the hypothetical team. For example if it's government/city sanctioned we'll likely have to kill as a last resort type of thing.

Hmm, I didn't know that there was going to be that many 'walking the line' characters when I first applied with Oddie. Maybe I should come up with something a little more light hearted, for diversities sake.

@BlackSam3091

Our characters just don't take any shit from the scum of the earth LOL. We'll put an arrow, fang, sword, eye blast, or bullet right through the bastards.

@The Kid Lantern I am probably going to go the Demi-Goddess route, just need to work on a sheet.

@FantasyChic

That's cool. I still hate we didn't get to do the WWII heroes coming to the modern world RP where we came up with Union Jackie. I just didn't have it in me to work that hard on another Advanced game if more people weren't into it, and my cat breaking my last laptop didn't do me an favors. Think I'm gonna go back to the Casual writing level for the most part and just be one of those people who insist on this RP being 'high-casual.'

How 'Brief' can my bio be? Taking a villain role, I'd rather not spill everything on my CS.

Also don't we have a WIP Tech sheet and I believe FantasyChic said she was going to work on a Demi.

@Lord Wraith

Some folks literally only gave me a paragraph, so it can be pretty brief. Love the fact your guy's gargoyles come to life to do his bidding. I kinda wanna get in a scrap with one of those things. I also kinda see your guy being similar to Mr. Gold in Once Upon a Time.

Um, pretty sure Batman V Superman is the exact opposite tone to the sort of thing at least some of us are going for and Watchmen while better handled is...also not something I think I'm going for at least.

Though if everyone else wants that, I guess I'm just obligatory notcynicalguy?

@Dblade26

I just think the tone will be a little darker because so many of us are walking the line or past villains trying to redeem themselves.

Fantastic, I can already tell Overlord is going to be awesome.

Wouldn't you want to mention everybody you accepted though, @The Kid Lantern? Anyway, nonetheless! I'm wondering how exactly we can start? I'm having an amusing little mental image of Overlord being deposited right in the middle of one of the other's outings against their rival if they have any or some other supervillain. Maybe if @Lord Wraith's character is accepted he falls into the alleyway next to his pawn shop and accidentally knocks around a few garbage cans as he fumbles about wondering where the hell he is and how he's going to resume his glorious, god-given objective?

Edit: Of course, we could start 'later' as a big starting event is happening like the alien invasion thing you mentioned. Of course, I'd personally have a more 'down-to-earth but not really' beginning arc. For example, I'd prefer if a 'doctor doom' or 'lex-luthorish' sort of figure was making a power-grab in the upper echelons of society and the PC's needed to stop him before he went totally dictator, but hey whatever.

I'm open to anything fams.

@LHG100

I posted the Accepted list with the finished character sheets. I don't want to pre-approve something just based on a name or power set. We'll get into specifics with introductions, who will be crossing over with who in the beginning, and all the other stuff once the OOC is posted. If I can I'll have it up after work tonight. I only work a six hour shift so I won't be as wrecked as I have been the last week. Opening a new grocery store today and I'm one of about three cooks in the cafe so I'm hoping we're not completely slammed. Been stressful enough the last few days setting the place up...

Titans of Gotham [Spots Available!]

So do I need to move things forward at the Watchtower? This and Futures End both seem to be in a rut but this one seems a little more active in the past three weeks. Still haven't heard from a few folks in awhile though and I'm just wondering if their interests have moved elsewhere...?

EDIT: We haven't heard anything from two of the noobs since reaching the Watchtower, and while some of the rest of the group have been active on the site it's just not in this RP. I enjoy this game a bit more than Futures End but I think having a lot of the same players in both has become a problem. Gonna stick a pin in both of them soon if they don't pick up before it becomes a chore PMing players and nagging them to post.
