Well I should have my physical copy of Masks by Thursday and I’m slowly reading the PDF in the meantime, but I think I’ve settled on trying to run a supernatural themed game (think Hellboy* crossed with Young Justice).
It’d be voice chat over Discord, rolling in Discord, and only using the core playbooks. I’m on EST and it would need to be on a weekday (Mon – Thur) after 5pm and no later than midnight.
Mondays 5:30pm – 8:30pm EST
*And/or…
Doctor Strange/Doctor Fate
Ghost Rider
Spawn
Blade
Vixen
Thor (and other Asgardians)
Raven
The Nocturnals
Deadman
Iron Fist
Color me interested, with a preference for earlier in the week.
Thoughts on tone? There’s a lot of edgy 90s titles in there. Though maybe that’s just a hazard of the subgenre.
Probably leaning towards Hellboy and Ghost Rider.
“There are things that go bump in the night. Make no mistake about that. And we are the ones who bump back.”
“I’m gonna own this curse, and I’m gonna use it against you.”
I’d be interested if you are doing early in the week.
Well that’s two for early in the week, I’ll add a link for the Discord channel.
This sounds absolutely fantastic, but I work second shift and wouldn’t be able to make it. Best of luck though!
I am interested in joining as well. If I’m not too late, that is.
Definitely not too late!
Still looking for more players!
Mind if I share the link around a bit?
Please do!
I would be interested in coming along if a spots still open. just saw this message on the Google+ Group. Then again also just noticed last message was 3 weeks ago……but cant hurt to try
We had one player drop out, but I’ll let Colin decide if that means opening up a spot or not.
Heres hoping for a yes. Im pretty flexable at being inserted in etc. Or could possible play the Newborn playbook if permitted….otherwise would likely go for Bull/Janus/Legacy (hopefully not all 3 are taken, if so can list some more)
Lian Rowan it was main playbooks only, the bull is taken. The other 2 should be available if can get Colin to write you in.
If another Playbook is easier im fine with that, IE Outsider magic dimension hop.
Im up for talking over ideas on skype/discord/roll20 etc if you want. (Plus sometimes seeing other characters can give a better idea)

Given the list time, is it likely to be a last minute thing if invited? or will be likely be on tonight at any time?
Colin Spears is basically who we are waiting on. He seems permissive so I’d try and show cause once he sees he’ll probably say yes. But as he hasn’t said yet don’t miss something important for the try.
By that do you mean show at the time listed above? or show something on application?. When joining a established group i always try to do something another isnt, ie Personalitys/back ground type that can exist beyond just the playbook…..but yeah ive got a few ideas ready to throw up……backstory wise most are loose for now so would take a hour or so to write up a full backstory/bio etc. Though enough to play shouldnt take more than 5m
Lian Rowan we have done session 0 & 1. So establish group and do something with the drop only missing 1. So I could see some rework session 0 stuff to sub you in instead of who we had. But I’m just a player not the editor.
I might even be willing to take over the missing character…..but that depends on what it is mostly, so couldnt say for certain. But anything works i guess.
What are the current Playbooks/Characters? (ie summoned up in few words)
We have a member of the fey (our beacon), someone that has a diety as a grandfather (our delinquent), a russian who was forced into lycanthropy (the bull is a wolf), and a protege that uses enchantment magic (gadgets and mild tricks).
What we lost was a Djinn. For those that don’t get what that is: a creature made out of magic, knowledge (lore), and trickery.
Hmm actually…..Nova as a Djinn sound ok? A More light-hearted easy going one maybe less on the trickery side more on the accidents. Would need a bit more on the setting in general (how magic is treated by the Muggles/NoMaj or if its known at all)
Longest thing is normally finding a image for me…..so basic direction works, then normally make rest of character based of image found
Lian Rowan – I am getting the OK from the rest of the group about adding someone new and will let you know if everyone is cool with adding a new player. I would prefer you come up with your own idea, rather than replacing the Djinn. There’s always the possibility of him coming back.
Unfortunately tonight’s game has to be cancelled due to my belated Mother’s Day plans tonight, but that will give us time to potentially add Lian into the group.
Cool, If everyone is cool with it would love to get on the discord to chat with other players in a bit more fluid manner. But for my own reference…..what Playbook was the Djinn? i guessed Nova but i could have guessed wrong.
No, actually he was built using The Outsider. We currently have a Beacon (sprite archer), a Bull (werewolf), a Delinquent (godling with illusions & emotion control), and a Protege (magic devices and charm spells).
So atm heres a few ideas
Nova – Leprechaun (With creative liberties on the myth)
Legacy – Round Table Decedent
Janus – Fated finding of unknown Artifacts that bonded
Though a bit more on the setting youve set so far may give better/additional ideas.
Hi, I’m the Beacon. I’m liking the ideas you have. Are you leaning to a particular one?
Leaning more towards the Nova atm, but Legacy close second. More comes down to the type of world/other characters personality’s etc.
I don’t blame you, the leprechaun idea sounds cool. But so does the Legacy.
Yeah, just hoping others are ok with the replacement idea. The Leprechaun was going to be relatively new to the ability’s through a mishap/mistake but might be too close to the Djinn in some respects with the source being the “Be careful what you wish for” as the root cause of the new ability’s…..The Legacy was going more of the Initiate not fully in the ranks of sorts, was going to have that eventually be when i took advancement for remaining powers/manifested the ability to summon the mythical armor/weapon to gain be a full Knight of the Legacy.
Though i can always change the Legacy source to match closer to the world if needed…..so instead of Arturian Feel go with a different angle.
On a side note, and dont mean to sound too pushy. Do you know when the decision would be made if a new player would be accepted? Just excited to start creating a character but dont want to do so and get disappointing when they are never played (happened alot before, hours over a story/character…then no game)
All I know is that most of us have already said yes. So… probably soon.
Cheers, always like getting setup ahead of time….downside to that is im normally ready well in advance and then just waiting for the session date. But look forward to chatting with you all on the discord etc.
