That is a pretty fancy concept. I like to think he was turned into a cyborg by a friendly mechanic who didn't see any other way to heal his wounds.

[sjm9876]

I feel someone could make an entire forum game on such a world where this is possible.....

[Fniff]

I'm thinking he fell from heaven into a horrific post-apocalyptic Earth, and spent his days becoming more and more cynical. As he got more and more wounds, he learned to repair himself with cybernetic enhancements he found laying around in the ruins. Also he's very good at sniping.

[sjm9876]

Nah. Not a fan of sniping myself. I'd go more down the giant electrical greatsword route myself....... Avenging angel style with more metal and lightning.

If I was to do a post-apoc theme, it would sadly be a bit more serious, and wouldn't have room for fallen angels who replaced their emaciated wings with nuclear jetpacks, while wielding a shish kebab from fallout 3.


Think I might make a thread for my system.  Post-Epidemic Cityscape could be a fun setting.

Anyone have any thing they have to say about my system before I make the jump?

[sjm9876]

Would it be alright if i use a (heavily modified) version of your system for a game? With room for fallen angel cyborgs?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

   1) A d6 is rolled for a nonlethal challenge.
   2) Skillpoints are gained or lost (for beneficial skills. for penalties, reverse skill changes):
      1 = failure -2pts
      2 = failure -1pts
      3 = failure
      4 = success
      5 = success +1pts
      6 = success +2pts
   3) Skills can be anything. From 'deft hands' to 'fear of wolves'.
   4) A d20 is rolled for a lethal challenge. Appropriate modifiers are applied. An end result of 0 or less results in death.
   5) Ideally 2 non-lethal and 1 lethal challenge per update. Please try and accomodate this into your action for next turn.
   6) Please record the skills of the player at the end of your update in a spoiler.
   7) When updating, make an empty post and modify it. This is to prevent ninjas.

As I said in my pm. sure.

[sjm9876]

Well here goes.....
A freeform(ish) game that may work?

[Bdthemag]

Man, history really does repeat itself.

[King_of_the_weasels]

I started my game, if anyone cares.

OK, I'm thinking about running a multiplayer sci-fi strategy game, and have a few ideas for settings:

• Alien Incursion: the players work for different alien polities and are all trying to infiltrate Earth for some reason (I'm leaning towards Precursor artifacts that have inexplicably been placed here)
• X-COMs: While the recent alien invasion should have caused the various countries to put aside their differences and put up a united front against the aliens, unfortunately that did not happen and now many countries have formed separate alien-fighting agencies which are controlled by the players. Not quite sure on the logistics of this one though.
• SMAC inspired game: Humans send a colony ship to someplace, colony gets fractured into various factions upon arrival, that sort of thing.
• Hivemind: I remember seeing a few games where there was a zerg/tyrannid style hivemind and the players had to guide said hivemind, and also that there was a multiplayer version of it.
• Countries @ War: I think I have a pretty good handle on how the mechanics are supposed to work, so I could try my hand at this

What do people think?

[Xantalos]

How did I not notice this. PTW.

[10ebbor10]

Digging up this thread again.

How about a game where most conspracy theories are right, and you are one of the many institutions covering it up. Maybe a governement program, ancient secret society, a cult worshipping ancient beings, or just something else entirely.

Of course, you'd have acces to all pseudoscience, magic, and the like which totally works and such.

Might be fun.

[monk12]

For more fun, take the EGS approach where not all the coverup agencies are in on all the conspiracies. Men in Black suppresses aliens, while the Illuminati might suppress magic, but they aren't aware of each others actions. Naturally, Hilarity Ensues when they intersect.

I remember Harry Baldman proposed something like this in the RTD suggestion thread.
