Gabe OOC Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Adventure: Like a Bad Penny Tagline: Everyone knows about the Aeon Society and the adventurers. They know about madmen preaching an airborne civilization, Chinese crime-kings and the horrors that the telluric weirdness of the world wreaked during World War Two. Everyone knows the atom bomb somehow changed the world, and the wonder and strangeness went away, no more bulletproof men or mad scientists, the Aeon Society's doors shut. 2012, and the world is back to one hundred percent mundane, fifty plus years of it. Everyone is an idiot. The telluric side of the world never went away - it knew times had changed, and subtlety was the order of the day. Besides, the Aeon Society had been riven, the Ubiquitous Dragon killed by the Silent Shadows of Emperor Hirohito, Saturday vanished, and many more changes had wiped the field clean. Fifty plus years of chess piece moving, regrouping, and in the modern world, daredevils, stalwarts and mesmerists are still as potent and dangerous as ever. And the Aeon Society needs to protect the world again. Margaret Mercer is the bugler, the call has been sounded. Are you ready for a touch of deja vu? Summary: The past is returning with a vengeance, and the world has to deal with stalwarts, mesmerists and daredevils and the more mysterious aspects of the world, just more quietly. Number of Players: 4-5 preferably. It is not first come first served, I reserve the right to accept or deny characters at my judgment. I (Jeremy, Darrik, Curtis, Evo, etc.) have put this open as an interest check / potential recruitment. If there is enough interest, I'll put up the house rules and begin the recruitment in earnest.

Rebecca Baines Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Okay... this I can sign on to. One thing. Saturday Vanished? That means there's only six days in the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubio OOC Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Sounds neat. But what kind of characters are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe OOC Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Do understand you'll be doing a lot of the things the Aeon Society used to do, except more quietly... for the most part, it's not a good idea to directly advertise your 'Inspired' status to the public, even if as a Daredevil you don't know you are.

Rebecca Baines Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Actually that sounds sort of cool. Makes sense if you think of it. News travels too fast in modern society and it is quite difficult to hide things in "wise tales" and "urban legends". You gotta make it look like you got lucky, or it's all coincidence. That is actually a good way to reign in powers, but simply not making them publicly known and it has to stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe OOC Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 A note. Standard character creation, and we're going to prelude the Inspiration, so no involvement with Aeon at the start, include a rough description of what you imagine the Inspiration event being.

The Story Guide Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I am tentatively interested in playing. Tentative because I don't have a character concept yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Baines Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I sort of have the skeleton of a concept, luckily knowing our inspiration moment is a prelude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 As a long-time fan of Adventure! (I've been running it at GenCon for years) I heartily approve of this message. So we should have a concept for the character, and write them up pre-inspiration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe OOC Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Well, just go through with a character sheet, pre-Inspiration background, and a clearly marked paragraph on what you imagine the event causing the Inspiration to be. Give me a rough idea for those, you don't have to be too specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe OOC Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hrm... never got a chance to play this one. Be nifty to try a modern-day Mystery Man/Vigilante Here's the thing. This is not a modern pulp game quite, there may be some of the weirdness occasionally cropping up, but this is a look at how the whole concept of the Inspired progresses and would look in the current day.

Rebecca Baines Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 After some thought, I realized that Wits makes sense for Pilot, since you need to watch for hazards and react mentally to your controls and situation at a moment's notice. That and I am soooo happy I got my background fixed up right proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubio OOC Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Eh. Dexterity already gets dodging and ranged combat. In plain cake Adventure!, it also gets two of the three close combat skills. Why take away from strength like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarik The Turban Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hey, Quotemyname/Hellhound here. Heritage told me about this thread. Checking to see if recruitment is still open. I have a rough draft of a mesmirist I drew up for a game that never happened. But I've never actually played Adventure! I'd like to give it a try, but I might need some help adapting my character to the 2012 world and some of your house rules. Let me know if you're still looking for players.

Heritage Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The main thing you need to do is switch the abilities to the House Rules version as seen above; for instance, Rapport now falls under Wits instead of Charisma. I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous about overlap between Darlene and Tarik, but other than both having Brain Skimming, they're very different. I'm sure it would have been fine anyways.
