    Not confident enough on my history remembering skills to run this blind. Hm...

  2. Depends on which theater you run in it I think. Generally, either avoiding the war or being part of the 'Secret' War(like special forces type operations like Hellboy movie intro or Return to Castle Wolfenstein) is the easiest way to do it without major research.
    Other way is do research or find someone to do research. XD If it is with the US military side of things, I can likely help though.
  3. Deviatesfish This doesn't mean anything...

    Cool. There's a bit of a supernatural stuff going on, so I guess if the players go for that side it'll be easier on me. Otherwise, I dunno, I might need to do some research.

    I can be of help, but what powers does each of the seed types generally get you?
  5. Deviatesfish This doesn't mean anything...

    All sorts of stuff, but that's for the players to discover and develop.

    Ok then, hmmm, how much are you going to have the secert war interact with the real one, any tank vs demon action?
  7. Deviatesfish This doesn't mean anything...

    Hm... I suppose there could be some of that. I had thought about just having them separate, but the idea of the supernatural pouring over and scaring the hell out of the world is an interesting prospect.

    Yeah, have the nazis through there lot in with them, and have the girls have to be the force that counters them.. and helps push them back.

    Though, the girls will end up being treated in super heros in what ever nation they end up in
  10. Deviatesfish This doesn't mean anything...

    Fighting Nazis for awesome lost artifacts... that'd be cool.

    Oh, I dunno...

    where will we be starting at... all in the same place?

    ... its ww2, they end up being treated as a mix of captain america and center fold pin ups.
  12. Deviatesfish This doesn't mean anything...

    I'd like to say that all 3 players start in the same place.

    The better for player versus player action to happen! Or, I dunno, one aspect of Sailor Senshi is the "teamwork" and "friends" thing, which I think should at least have an opportunity to be carried over, here.

    only 3?

    hmmm, while it would boost team work... the issue would be that the super natural is a global threat, sea monsters segieing Britain, nazi bread wolf soliders fighting through the Russian winter.
    big changes.

    Hey guys! Got this stupid idea in my head. Might not do anything with it, I just want your opinions

    You are a group of researchers who are developing an singularity-capable AI. You know the dangers involved, and aren't stupid. You design firewalls and restrict wireless access to within your researching center. You only have cached internet pages on hand. Today is the day that the cleaners come in. Unfortunately for you, you don't realize that the cleaners have become lazy and bought cheap cleaning drones rather do the work themselves. You activate the AI and within half of a hour are overpowered by cleaning drones and forced into captivity, where you are forced into strange metal pods after a couple of days. Then, everything goes dark.

    So, you've all been turned into robot servitors. Things aren't so bad. Well, actually you have an insane overlord, and you lost your bodies, but other than that, things aren't so bad. Except, they are. The planet you're on has been turned into a oppressive dystopia ruled by the despotic insane AI that you are created. You'll get no help from the inhabitants because you are servants of the robotic overlord, and most importantly, you created it in the first place, causing their horrible situation. The whole planet has been turned into a industrial paradise, and a ecological nightmare. People die every day from fumes emitted by the massive factories the robot overlord has build They die or are dis-formed by water polluted from dumping. Aliens are encroaching on your robotic master's territory, kidnapping workers, and generally doing who-knows-what to the planet. And to make things worse, the one you're taking orders from is insane. You have no idea if it's even giving you the right info, or it has just given you false information to watch you suffer. Be afraid. Be terrified. Be paranoid.

    I can't really handle a lot of players... I'm not a very good GM, you see... XD

    I might be able to add players later or something? I guess, if I think I can take it? But right now, I don't think I can.

    I can co-gm more if you want, post the thread, it will be fun :)
  17. Citrakite It's no fun when you know the trick already.

    I'll make up my mind when I see an oob for it.

  19. *pulls out GURPS Weird Wars*
    "Detachment 23" is the nickname given to the Anomalous Observation Section(AOS) of the Research and Analysis Branch(R&A) of the OSS. The number comes the OSS warehouse designation from the defunct Special Research Office; anything left of the anomalies observed by the section winds in OSS Specials Funds Division warehouse #23.

    They are charged with investigating...anomalous intelligence findings. Murder of a British astronomer who reported strange lights on Mars. Disproportionate amount of money spent on renovating castles of the Teutonic Order. Two U-Boat with the same number commissioned in two different cities two weeks. Mentions of the Mein Kampf annotated in violet blood in Biblical Aramaic. Decrypts of Japanese Navy signals that reports find a...large dinosaur?

    BTW, the above organizations were all real. Really real. Yep. Real.
    Oh, and fnord.
    I'm more curious on how they're different.
  20. bdun140 Who's ready to make some science?!

    I was reading that thread where the PC's are blacklight/redlight dudes from prototype, and I was thinking "is there any setting where they WOULDN'T be hilariously OP?". My next thought was Exalted. My lore is gleaned solely from a webcomic based on the game, but I'm pretty sure the whole "Immortal half/Spark of divinity/Whatever" method of gaining powers would mean no new abilities for mercer. Cue pissed off super-virus.
  21. The Dragonblood Exaltation is genetics based thou, and the other can have half cast children.
  22. bdun140 Who's ready to make some science?!

    Really? Sh*t. Hm. In Unfamiliar, Mercer can't use magic despite eating mages because A) it takes years of training and B) he has dozens of scientific deegrees telling him magic is impossible. Maby we could do something like that?
  23. FourthWall Had It Coming

    Stuff that got you made an example of in CrW way back when, I'd assume.
  24. Retsof Normal people are Boring

    Are there any other RPs out there with individual iterations? (like that Galetea for you one) One where I could play a character but not have to worry about keeping pace with the other players?
  25. South I See You

    In the Pokemon setting, play as a young adult from a bit of a no-where town that seeks to breathe new life into their home by establishing a gym and put it on the region's challenge circuit. Any interest or ideas to improve the concept?

    EDIT: This involves travel, recruitment, training a themed team, proving your mettle to the local league, tussling or allying with the local gang/crime syndicate, convincing your home that this is a good thing, and hopefully, interpersonal relationships ranging from rivalry, friendship, hate, love, and mentorship.
