orikesThese are kinda belated, but here they are.
In other news, my gaming group is FORCING me to try and run a game. I'm going with a super hero game since that's the genre I know best and no one else is interested in running. They're all willing to play in it, but no one loves it quite enough to run it. Just little old me.
Currently the plan is to have the entire group start off as normal people who, through a variety of circumstances I already have worked out in my head, develop super powers. This way it gives them a chance to learn the system along with learning their powers at the same time. And, because they're developing them in game, it's no big deal to tweak them a couple of sessions in if they're not happy with how they're working.
I've got five players. One likes the cosmic power and the versatility that offers. I was hoping he'd go with his original idea which was 'the guy who can't die'. I would have had more fun helping develop the powers and stories for that one. His wife wants someone who has the ability to travel in space without a spaceship. That's easy enough, but making sure she's useful on the planet is going to be a bit trickier. The other girl in the group just said, "Mental type. Kinda like a cross between Jean Grey and Rogue!" I'm pretty sure she only has the movies to go off of. One of the guys is in love with trying to emulate Jack Jack from Incredibles. (Hi![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skotte!) The final player.. I have no idea what I'm going to do with him. He's gone from "I want to fly!" to a deaf dominatrix (long story) with sonic powers to ... I have no idea, but I imagine the idea will probably change by tomorrow when we get together to make characters.
God help me with this. I've been a gamer since 1986 and I've never actually run a game of my own. I guess I should get it in before my twentieth anniversary when it comes to gaming. Yeowch. Anyway, wish me luck. :)

Date: 2005-06-06 01:45 pm (UTC)7th Son gave you some very good advice. As to the Jack Jack powerset; he's primarily Alternate Form, probably with Variable Effect as an extra, and then various other forms stunted off the base power.
So...
Alternate Form: Solid [Special: Iron; Extra: Variable Effect; Stunts: AF: Energy--Fire, AF: Solid--Reptile Monster; Cost: 6PP/Rank, +4]
This would allow a very flexible character, the Variable Effect alone is pretty sweet. :) Just a thought.

Liquid - Water
Solid - Earth
Semi-Solid - Air
They are also uncontrolled. So he can't really choose which one he gets. He'll have a small percentage chance of getting the form he wants, but more often it'll be up to a die roll. He's also going to have uncontrolled Precog and Postcog (and ICly won't be able to tell the difference between the two). He's also got a little bit of illusion, so he can share his hallucinations. ;)
The character is a Vietnam Vet who's spent the last 30 years hearing voices and going in and out of institutions. Now the voices are going to be real.
