After the current set of games come to an end I am offering a supers game.
IMPORTANT: This being offered after the current games, Gary's AFF is continuing, though after the current adventure to secure one of the 13th Spells of Darkness is completed, players will be given the opportunity to switch games. If Wayne's game is still running at this point I will be waiting until Wayne wishes to take a break - there will be no player poaching!
Gate City
This is a low to mid power level M&M (Mutants & Masterminds) game set in a slightly altered slight future Earth. The year is 2012 and supers have been in existance for most of the 20th Century.
30th June 1908: The Day the Earth Shook: Part of a comet entered the Earth's atmosphere and exploded over Russia releasing cosmic energy and dust. This energy and dust mutated a small percentage of the population. Those alive at the time became peaked, at the height of human potential, those born after, especially those born to two mutated parents went further and began displaying true super human abilities.
These became to world notice during WWII, their potential was realised and all othe major players began to run super soldier programmes, trying to capture and control the mutations.
Your characters are the current generation of mutants. The golden days of when mutants were seen as humanity's hope and future are over. These days you are seen at best as necessary evils to combat the presence of super villians, at worst as potential WMDs.
The UK joined the EU, but following the rise of UKNP (United Kingdom National Party) it withdrew. Following the 2010 elections the UKNP is the minor party in a hung parliament.
Things have not gone well for the UK since the exit from the EU, the darkest day came in 2007 a day known as U Day (or Usurper Day) when a powerful mutant attempted to take control of the UK, killing the Queen and Prince Charles in the process. Other than the two state mutant groups, all mutants are registerred and monitored. Failure to do so means you are treated as a criminal and possible terrorist.
Only Gate City is the exception, Gate City is a refuge for mutants and foreigners alike, it is also a dingy and maligned corrupt city that the rest of the UK would like to see sink completely into the Thames.
Created in 1997 Gate City is formed from the towns on the northern banks of the Estuary from Tilbury to Southend. Meant to be a shining light of Labour's progress, it's glory days never came. Since 2007 it has been governed by the mutant known as Seaxe and is regarded as a semi-autonomous free state.
It also holds the Fortress a prison which holds the captured mutant criminals, including the comatose Usurper. The Fortress is controlled by the mysterious Gate Keeper, who turned up on U Day and stopped the Usurper.
As the campaign starts on 5th January 2012, all the major heroes of the world have been called to Kyzgstan to deal with the world wide threat of the Autarch and his henchman the Tinker.
The players are the minor leaguers left behind, when they receive a call from the Gate Keeper.
Those wishing to play, please let me know and details of what type of super you wish to play. Please give me as much details as possible, so I can make the character as close to your idea as possible.
