Schemes of Evil Intent

[karambit]

A thread for discussing and planning various plots and stories.

I was hoping to start a focused discussion about planning and playing out the new history of our RPG. This is primarily to get EVERYONE on the same page quickly and effectively.

First off I would like M4M (or whomever else knows) to explain what her plan was as she seems to he heading up that project. My hope was to start a bank robbery in Detroit or NYC. However, I would like to make sure that does not interfere with her plans for the RPG.
- I'm accepting applications via PM, limit is three robbers.
- Place yourself in the bank or action as needed.
- Season one setting. Refer to Wikipedia "Volume I: Genesis."
- I will need people to play the NPC police negotiator and at least one clerk.
- Talk to M4M or another leader about potential use of a Cannon Character.

Second I was hoping we could set a date and time for as many people to gather as possible to RP for a few hours and get something going.
- As far as time goes use your local time, but place the GMT modifier in parenthesis behind it. Such as right now the time is 12:11 (-6 GMT).
- A weekend is probably going to be the easiest time to get everyone together. I suggest putting out info for at least a week so everyone gets it (or throw it around facebook) and plan for the 7th, 8th or 9th.

Questions needing answering:
Where?
- NYC or Detroit?

What?
- Bank Robbery or should I pull a Sylar/Villain X game?

When?
Tentatively the first weekend in August. (6th, 7th and 8th)
Tentatively 10 or 11 pm (-6GMT)

Why?
Because we all want to do something with our awesome new RPG.

Who?
Open to all. I plan on using Ezra (Carte Blanche happened six months ago).

Actually, I love the idea of a bank robbery and this whole scheme, but I pretty much have based this RPG off of season one of Heroes, which I deem to be the best season. After that was downhill. So powers should be attempted to be secret. There can be limited public displays but I don't want members going crazy with ya know? To me what made Heroes great was the basis in reality and they lost that as the show progressed.

We might be able to do public powers in the future as the RPG matures but for now I want members t focus more on the PERSON their character is not the ability, and limiting power use in public can aid us in that.


But I love this idea Karam of an organized bane robbery and getting people to play each part!!!!

Done, I was assuming it was based off season four, but I'm certainly happy with a season one foundation, in fact I'd prefer it, much easier. - In that vein, are we to assume events in season one just happened or are going to happen as the RPG progresses?

Second, I've yet to receive any requests or feedback other than yours. A post in the chit-chat on your part directing people to begin thinking about where they want to be in this event and discussing it here would be most appreciated.

Finally: What is the RPG's position on the use of Cannon Characters? I think it would attract more players if they can either interact with their favorite characters or become them. Up to the admin/mod department though.
- as a caveat to that I would recommend allowing ANY character from the show to be introduced, but their show history is not applicable (perhaps different for season one characters?

I posted in the chit-chat so hopefully it will get some more attention to this.

I'll be discussing with the rest of the staff the details of canon use, history, and if we want to have completed season one history and so on. I'll send a PM your way when we know more though!
