Hey people!

I am here to recruit YOU! to join an online chat game. The basic idea is pretty simple, what if the heroes and the heroic age is startig now, yeah, you listen it correctly. The heroic age is starting now at 21st century and all the persons who are getting the amazing powers are teen agers between 14 and 18.

The power source is a big mystery, and the things like magic is just a stage act with smoke and mirrors, the single super science which you know are on the sci fi comics. At this world there aren't things like super hero or people with powers on the books. The pop culture is based on action pulps which became major franchises (right now one of the tv biggest hit is Gotham, a tv show telling how Bruce Wayne became Batman, and how gotham became a mad gangster paradise, the single odd thing which the producers added is Catwoman is an asian girl and she is going to get her own show).

What I do expect from the players. Creativity, flexibility and a natural disposition to help me create the world. And when I mean help me create the world it means create the world. This game is set in a parallel earth and the presence of super powered people isn't the difference. I mean, you can play with other elements from the world, the single things which don't change are the technological level and the magic level. All the rest can be shifted for gamers sake. It is a collective world and all ideas will be listen and developted during the game.

I plan run this game as a series of interlinked solo, duo or trio games till the group feel the need to band them together. The point level is 100/100 and you have to send a whole character background telling how the character found about his (or hers) powers, how are the family/school/friends relationship.Which themes do you would like see in the game and your suggestions to make the world unique and different without making it look like a patchork. I am a mature gm and I can deal with things like homosexuality and other delicate subjects without messing with this plot elements.

My favorite online role playing tools are IRC and messengers. But if you found other methods to do a chat game tell me, but keep in mind I am a mac user and I don't have plans to get into so many fancy programs or even use an emulator to log in a game room. And don't ask me to run this game on hero chat. It don't works with my Mac even the messiah comes to me telling he came to bring peace to Israel and he solved the palestine conflict doing a big pork based banket for muslim and jews.

oh a last note... I give extra points if you take some extra time to use your artistic or technical skills to help the game, it means good quality arts (it means anything cool which don't look be made by your childs) and homepage contribuitions (as web designer or feeding the page with prose version of our game) will get extra xp.

I am quite flexible about game day and time. I have plans to start this game with several solo or duo game, and later I start add other players, blending your personal stories. So the early game sessions will happen when you can. Lster when the group feel like they need band together I will do the game session scheduling chess.
