Nowhere Kids- Interest topic

I think I'm gonna start up a new game sometime in the future, and this is just to gauge interest in it. In general, it will be a Superhero team style game, running Wanderlust, and it will be rather darkly themed- as in, it will be a game you can expect to be killed in.

The premise of the Nowhere Kids is that you are a group of orphans, who have been collected and experimented on, giving you unique super powers, and you are set loose on the streets at night to fight crime. There aren't a whole lot of the finer details worked out yet. I could say that it takes place in the same Universe as my other game, but since you'll be playing as human children on Earth, and have no knowledge of Equestria, that really doesn't mean anything. It is a killer game. The organization that collects the kids views them as throwaways that are only tools to serve a purpose, and if one of the tools breaks, there's no real loss. They collect new subjects constantly to fill in the gaps. What this means from a player standpoint is that PCs will die off, and either new players may join in their place, or the same Player may write up a new character, depending on the amount of interest. Dying isn't the only way to have a character be rendered unplayable, either- psychological damage, crippling injuries, etc, will all be used to some extent.

I'm shooting to have this start up sometime around end of September into October, and I'll post a recruitment/ OOC thread around that time, if there's enough interest between now and then to warrant it. The team can be anywhere from 3-8 players.

Sounds like fun. Quick question, would we be able to do the "trade 2 novice points for one Exalted point" thing suggested by Dan?

Any idea how this will run? Will it be Skype, or play by post?

This will be PbP. For the trading points, I still need to get more acquainted with the system, but there's a good chance we'll start at a higher level, so players can have more options when they start. If not, then yes, trading will most likely be allowed.

Good. I'm thinking about building an ice themed character, and getting access to exalted abilities would help to build that properly

Oh, something else to add. While it will be using the Wanderlust Combat system, there is a good chance that "Player Phase" and "Enemy Phase" turn order will not be used, in favor of traditional initiative order.

That is an idea I like

Well the system seems pretty straightforward. Not that the game will start for another month, but I think I have the finer points worked out. Everyone, hopefully still interested by then, so far will have a slot once the official recruitment thread goes up.

Err... Can't tell for sure I'll try to join this game in a month when it happens... But I'll guess I'll put I'm not against the idea of joining this type of silly game.
