Alex Green Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Now all we need is an ST to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubio OOC Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Damn. This discussion is pretty much what I was thinking when I first joined this site and started the Post-Apocalypse discussion. Wish I'd found it earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I ran a game like this a while back. The Abby's called China's bluff and got caught under a rain of nuclear death because the Chinese weren't bluffing. Fast forward many years and things were just starting to crawl out of the ruin.

Rubio OOC Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Dude. Why can I never have games like this? I'm gonna go make a sadfase now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Found it: Phoenix Rising I can't say that I wasn't probably a little heavy handed and I had some uneven performance over the course of the game (I had to evolve certain NPC factors in unexpected ways at times), but I think that the players all enjoyed the game in the end.

Mr Fox Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Rubio, are you looking to run a game like that or just find one to play in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubio OOC Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've precious little experience running board-based games. I'm always up to join, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Games start up around here all the time, just have to keep an eye open for them. If anything we probably have too many start too often causing the death of interesting older games. But it's hard to say no to a really great story idea and you never know when a story will erupt and take off. There's not much going on at the moment in Infinite Earth, people seem to be on a bit of a hiatus, but you are always welcome to create a character there and join in, either in Cosmos Nova or the open setting.

Rubio OOC Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 CN looks a bit too high-powered for me. I'm one of those weirdos that thinks that the level 5 & 6 powers should be more like plot devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I understand. It's not for everyone. For a really long time on the site there were no high level games at all and any new game that got created always specified no Q6 ever, or not for at least a year or more, etc. So I created IE to be the go wild and have fun setting where anything is possible. Personally I think of things over Q5 as being story-telling only, once you are in the higher levels of power there isn't much point in rolling dice, it's all about telling some specific story that couldn't be told in lower powered settings.

Justin OOC Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Cosmos Nova rules out ever developing those, as nothing goes beyond Quantum six levels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That's true, but it is still a very powerful setting due to the altered creation rules. The open IE setting is the uncapped one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
