General Chat

Welcome all! Please drop an introduction here. We'll use this for general OOC tomfoolery.

You may notice over time more than 4 players, but that's fine. Folks have lives, and a slightly larger group means it'll be much easier to either split up when needed or have players bow in and out when life ordains. I think the "rogues gallery" setup also allows for not every person to be required on every mission, so hopefully that helps.



As for me, you can call me Lav. I've been on GP for about 3.5 years, and playing in person for 16. My interests include space, sewing, and drawing. I think I'm best described as a "chaotic good" player. I am a firm believer that evil needs consequences eventually, and glimmers of hope are important. At the same time, I've been known to try to diplomatically reason with an elder fire elemental. So......yeah.

I also have a smol fresh bean at home, only 2 months old, and he's amazing (albeit the source of my sleep deprivation).

Happy to meet you all!

Hello. I'm a veteran player of any game I can get a group of people to play. I love the "story games" so this system sounded intriguing.

As for names, Dream, Blades, or whole name work...assuming it makes sense.

Hello I am a teacher/librarian, and I've been playing table top rpgs for 24(ish) years. I've been on GP for 3 years I think, but did 8 years of pbp on LiveJournal before that.
I also love story driven games.
Just call me librarian.

Hey all, glad to be here, looking forwards to playing with you all. If saevikas is too long, you can call me Sae.

Hi all! Thanks Lav for having me here, looking forward to both the genre and the lighter tone, and especially the game system. I used to do play-by-email in the stone age, so pbp is how I get my gaming fix these days. Bedz is perfectly fine for easy typing.

Greetings! First latecomer on the scene, I go by Khaki or Phil. I've played several campaigns in this system (one of which I ran on GP over quarantine) and have been playing tabletop in general for about 10 years now. Glad to see Lav at the helm on this one!

I'm going to get the story rolling as we finish up character generation. A couple things to discuss briefly:

Are we writing in 1st person or 3rd? In PBP I prefer 1st person, but I don't mind either way.

Would everyone please choose a color for their character dialogue text? GM retains "dibs" on red and blue for antagonists and allies, respectively.

As we get to know each other's play styles and character personalities better, I'm not opposed to a given poster writing small responses for someone else inside their narrative. It speeds things up. But to start, let's just write ourselves, and revist later.

Well, she is a cat burglar of sorts

OH OR MACAVITY

I generally use 3rd person. I'm going to use black, because red's taken, and I'd forget to use the color tag otherwise.

Macavity. Yes. One of my favorite musicals. we do not speak of the horror show they made recently.

Man, talk about "every story's already been told". I haven't ever watched Leverage XD

Hahaha! Sorry. It happens to the best of us. The difference is in Leverage they may start as crooks, but they become the good guys.

No need to apologize. I think it's great haha

Big kudos for the Leverage reference! Fun fact: there exists a Leverage TTRPG.

I know! I don't own that one, but I got the Firefly book using the same Cortex system, and the Marvel game. I love that system, but I haven't had any luck playing it.

Loooooots of rolling on my end, but y'all are up!

NGL I'm loving how chill everyone is about the cat.

Librarian, when enough time has passed that you think she'd be chill again, you can turn back.

sounds good. I think it's usually an hour or so.

And with my most recent post, (and I've spoken with our wonderful GM about this) I'm bowing out from the game. I did want to neatly finish the story arc, and with the mission close I think this is the juncture to exit. I did enjoy the game very much and its more whimsical tone, I appreciate Lavtodd's system, it's very clever and I'm still trying to bend my head around its intricacies. A big thanks to my fellow players, and of course the GM, for your time and effort as well.

See you around GP!

Thanks again for joining us!

For the other folks, the Black Swan is my husband's character but he doesn't have GP. He and Quantum Gal are meant only to be go-fers for you guys. Resources, occasional exposition, that sort of thing. Just so you don't think I'm shoehorning two DMPC's in. The story's still yours.

Hey, all, I think I'm gonna call it. Superheroes appear to simply not be my wheelhouse. Thanks for giving it a try!

No worries, it was still fun

Thank you for running the game for us, it was fun while it lasted.
