Default Re: Meta: LOOKING FOR PLAYERS

University of Heroes

Recruitment Closed (unless somebody wants to GM another thread of the world.)

This is an experiment in optimising GURPS for PbP play. The game will consist of hopefully short, modular adventures such that the loss of players/GMs with so often plagues these games will be less of a problem. As a side effect, it will be possible for others to run their own threads of the adventure if the wish to.

Players are freshman students at UoH, built on 180/-50 points. Four majors are available:

Super:
Appears to be a normal human, at least to the casual observer, but has a block of points invested in one or more "super" powers. These powers are bought with a -10% discount.

Mad Skillz:

These characters have no exotic powers. They gain their awesomeness through extreme specialization, awesome gear, and high skill levels. Mad Skillz majors are allowed and encouraged to have specialized Talents, Techniques, and Gadgets.

Action Hero:

Action Heroes tend to be well-rounded, and often pack cinematic advantages. They are allowed to spend unused CP as Cinematic Points.

Exotica:

This is the Major for really weird chars. They are not humans at all, and their character is largely defined by their racial template. Mutants, robots, talking rabbits, etc. all go here. Exotica get no special bonuses, but they have the advantage of being able to use a racial template to bend and break the normal limits.
