jameson (ST) Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey folks. Last year I attemped to launch an Adventure! game with a little supernatural twist. At the time the site was getting less traffic and I wasn't able to drum up enough players to keep the game alive. You can visit the archive HERE ... I'm willing to try again, due in no small part to the rapid expansion of the site lately and by the return of a dear old freind of mine, Dr. Henry Jones Jr. That said I'd like to hear from people who would be interested in playing. The rule book is available HERE for $12 if you don't have it. I'll be using much of the material I produced for Dark Tidings for this game as well, including some of the character creation changes (altered rules and new skills and organizations). Let me know if you want in or if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackThorn Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 OH, I would love to play Janos again, if that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 *jawdrop* Holy smokes dude I thought you were long gone from the site! Good to hear from you!I'd certainly be interested in seeing a version of Janos for this game, being that I'm taking a decidedly more mystic/supernatural angle than the core book his origins may need to be udpated, but yeah that'd be sweet!

SalmonMax Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Cautiously interested. May be contingent on my getting access to the book, or sufficient handholding to create without the book... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 the system for Char Gen is pretty close to Abby, the powers do work differently though, significantly so in some cases. I don't mind helping out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I reccomend reading this thread specifically to learn more about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Dun duh dun DUN dun duh dun...Heh.I think I may have my plate full at the moment with all the new games popping up. I'll still check it out though. Maybe I wont be able to resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Deity Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'm certainly interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Preston Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Locky?Locky, is that you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Deity Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well, yes, it is. But I'd probably set up a different character for this sort of story, I've noticed that Locky is such a specialist character that you basically need to adjust any story he's in to make him useful.Nah, I have another completely different character in mind, oh yes...

Joani Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Same like Lily here - definitely interested but have no clue about the game whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Taking an accounting here ...Definates:JanosLee/LockyLilyJoaniMaybes:FoolNeil were you interested or just asking after Locky? Were you part of Alex's orginal Adventure crew?I'd like between 4 and 6 players optimally. But per the usual for me any number of people can apply and I will accept those who have the most interesting PCs. Thematic influences:Indiana Jones seriesMummy seriesSky Captain and the World of TomorrowThe Shadow (both the radio show and the movie)The Dresden Files (book series)Reaper (TV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Eee...that list of inspirations is too much fun.I'm in. I'll make it work. So there's stalwarts, daredevils and mesmerists, if I recall correctly.Stalwarts being physically empowered...strong and tuff and capable of astounding feats. Daredevils are...daredevils. The Indiana Joneses, who have m@d skilz and are just plain lucky. Mesmerists are basically psychics, though I recall they're scaled down so as to fit in with the rest...psionics aren't the path to overweening powah that they are in many games...I am interested in a psychic...perhaps revisiting the well traveled trope of one who is not fully in control of his or her powers...

jameson (ST) Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 that is all correct, though any of the classes can have the mad skills and crazy backgrounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm interested in this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Peters Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Are you saying I could finally be Baron Von Ruthless, gentlemen purveyor of zepplin mounted doomsday devices?! Color me interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Indeed. One additional change that is not noted in the old Dark Tidings threads. For those familiar with the game super science usually allowed you to create Advancements AND Innovations. I am pulling Innovations out and making them their own type of "super science" To create an Innovation you must be Stalwart or Mesmerist (as normal) and also have Ability Mastery in Occult - basically you will be creating magic potions, enchanted weapons or mystical body alterations.At this point I think we have enough intrest I will ask Chosen to reactivate the forum and I will begin to update the threads for the new game.

SalmonMax Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 That actually sounds kind of cool...So Mesmerism could be defined as "magic" instead of psionics? I must think on that. That's a new twist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katalyst Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 After reading the Dark tidings thread my interest in playing this has risen. Is there room for more players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 muwhahahah!Dark Tidings rises from the grave!I'm going to ask that further posts be directed to our freshly revived forum in the table talk thread HERE The Forum is here: http://www.rpg-post.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/68/1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Originally Posted By: KatalystAfter reading the Dark tidings thread my interest in playing this has risen. Is there room for more players? Katalyst: Short answer - yes.Long Answer - Currently there are at least 6 people fully interested with a couple more looking. All are welcome to submit characters for the game. I will accept or reject based on the quality of the PC submissions. I am looking for around 6 players but I may expand if the submissions are great.a few last bits before I bound off to our new old forum:I don't care for power gaming min/maxing - a good concept will go further than an Uberman with a boring story. I'm very hands on during Char gen so do not be suprised if I make comments and/or suggestionsI ask that you be prepared to meet a certain level of dedication ot the game, as ST I will do my best to post as often as need be (average 3 times a week most times) and ask that players make the same effort, This is as much to help the game move as to help keep ALL of the players happy and not waiting around for just 1 or 2 people.Understand that this is a ROLE-playing game and as such I will reward players accordingly, interesting well written and descriptive posts add to the game, I'd love for this to read like a novel and less like a chat log.
