New Quarter game: Superheroes

Tags

gaming, harrogate, Referee, Roleplaying, RPG

Welcome to world 1313, you are currently entering a crossroads between worlds, a place where the lost find themselves.

Until 50 years ago this world has had close to no supernatural or superhuman activity. It appears that it is something that our world is unable to generate or create: relying instead on technology to grow: at least until the gates opened.

It was then they started to appear: individuals wandering from world to world, falling into the wide cities that lie scattered across the continents.

Characters will start as Students at thehe Ingeniousus Divinus Academy,
The academy is home to the majority of people that may be termed as Super-powered individuals. A majority of them arrive in their teens, requiring education and teaching of how to use their powers responsibly.
The organisation of the school is divided by powers and educational needs. To aid this there are several houses across the school, each catering to the powers of the different students

This is the second time this setting has been run and System used this time is Tri-Stat (BESM), so there should be a good vaiety of characters to be built.

Any interest please note below.

Hello everyone,

It’s time to get new games and groups organised for the April to June quarter. As usual, if anyone has a game or games that they would like to run, please post a comment below this post briefly describing what you’re offering.

The basic information you should include:

• Name of the RPG (if it’s a published one)
• The system
• The setting
• The type of adventure (or the actual adventure) you want to run
• Minimum / maximum number of players

Let me know separately if you’re offering to be a reserve GM.

The cutoff will be Thursday, 30th March, after which I will collect players’ preferences using Survey Monkey.

Cheers,

Matt

New Games for the Winter Quarter (2016)

Hello everyone,

Following on from my last post (and accompanying email), could those of you wishing to run a game for the next quarter, please add a comment to this post with a brief synopsis of the game you’d like to run. The basic information you should include:

• Name of the RPG (if it’s a published one)
• The system
• The setting
• The type of adventure (or the actual adventure) you want to run
• Minimum / maximum number of players

Let me know separately if you’re offering to be a reserve.

Given the number of players, I think we will need three games for the next quarter. Obviously, more than three of you can offer to run something. Just to note: I won’t be running a game this time.

Cheers,

Matt

Hello everyone,

Following on from Snowy’s post on Wednesday, and a conversation on Thursday evening with Dan, Nathan, Ashley and Rachel, I’d like for the next quarter to try a new approach to arranging games. The way we’re currently doing things is not working as well as I would like and I know that some of you are in agreement. Firstly, we tend not to hear anything from referees (myself included) until a couple of weeks out and sometime not until the first Thursday of the quarter, by which times some games are already full.

I would therefore like to propose the following:

Five weeks out from the end of each quarter I will create a post where anyone who would like to run a game should post a brief synopsis of the game system, setting, and the adventure or type of adventure that they have in mind. This doesn’t need to be a 1000 word essay, but should be enough for players to decide whether it’s of interest to them. It would also be useful to hear from anyone prepared to be a ‘reserve’ referee, in the event that there aren’t enough games submitted, or one or more submitted games do not generate sufficient interest.

Two weeks from the end of the quarter, I will add a poll to the site containing all the submitted games (thanks for the idea Rachel!), that all of you wanting to play should use to vote for your game of choice (and possibly a second choice). I will review the results and then contact all the referees to let them know the score. I’m hoping that this will make the whole process less confusing and frustrating, and fairer for all concerned.

At some point in the next few weeks I would also like for us to have a quick get-together to discuss room allocation.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you dislike with the proposal.

Cheers,

Matt

Hello everyone,

It’s getting close to the start of the new quarter. With that in mind can anyone wanting to run a game either post it on the website and/or the club Facebook page, and/or on the new and very yellow notices that Dan has very kindly put up in the bar at the club (cheers Dan!).

As per usual, we’re going to need four games. I know that Cy is likely to be running something and I’m definitely not running. Anyone else who would like to run a game, please put your hand up as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Matt

Blue Planet

Blue Planet, gaming, harrogate, Referee, Roleplaying, RPG

Hello everyone.

For the upcoming quarter at the Club, I am offering to run a game of Blue Planet. This is a hard science-fiction game set on the world of Poseidon. Poseidon, as the name suggests, is a waterworld dotted with a number of achipelagos; in fact it’s the only other world that mankind has managed to travel to.

It is a frontier world and, as such, presents many opportunities for enterprising individuals to make their mark, as well as many opportunities for some to end up dead very, very quickly. Violence, corruption and lawlessness are ever present dangers, fueled by the mega corporations that have come to Poseidon to stake their claim to its natural resources and crush any resistence to the seemingly inexorable growth of their wealth and influence.

Do you have what it takes to make your mark on the Blue Planet?

Hello everyone,

After consulting my Mayan calendar I’ve realised that there are only three more weeks until the end of the current quarter. That means we need some new games, or to know whether any of the games currently running will continue into the next quarter.

If any of you would like to run a new game during the upcoming quarter, then let me know. Likewise, let me know if you have any requests for a specific game or genre (for example, I’ve have had an enquiry from a possible new club member about D&D 5th edition).

Snowy is offering up a superhero campaign using the Anima system. I won’t be offering a game. Does anyone else have anything that they want to run? Is anyone else not going to be running?

Cheers,

Matt
