I will be running a Mutants and Masterminds Game every Saturday starting June 9th. I am looking for 1-3 players. The group so far has 3 members.

For those who do not know, Mutants and Masterminds is a superhero game. You will be playing humans who recently found out that they have a super power. You have been recruited to join an academy that will teach you how to harness your power.

The setting is Spring 2000 – the 100th anniversary of when superheroes started being recognized for their heroic feats. Super heroes have done many great things during the wars and have been well liked and loved until recently. The last few years has seen laws coming up for votes that would restrict superheroes.

Think about XMen and The Incredibles. I would like the game to be fun and light-hearted. I’m going to try to go over the top and very like comic books with drama and combat. I am expecting role-playing, and character backgrounds.

The first session will be a character creation session, and run down of the rules and setting. Please do not come with a pre-made character. You may have ideas already, but no character sheet filling out.

If you are interested please email me at nicolemichelle07@gmail. I will forward you information and questions to help you write a background history. Right now I’m planning on running the game at my house in South Fort Worth. If some members are from the Dallas area, one of the players lives in East Arlington near 360 and has offered her apartment.

The open play test for D&D Next starts in just one week and yesterday Wizards announced the contents of the first testing package. We’ll be getting some core rules, 5 pregen characters, and an adventure teasingly titled ‘Caves of Chaos’ (http://www.enworld.org/forum/news/323228-playtest-package-contents.html)

I’ve been following the ‘one edition to rule them all’ commentary more out of morbid curiosity than anything, but I’m interested in seeing some of the actual mechanics behind the promises and I want to give the new rules a fair shake.

Anyone else out there who is interested is welcome to join in. We’ll meet up at my place, discuss the rules they give us, play through these new Caves of Chaos, and then compile some feedback.

If there is a lot of interest I’ll run it a few times to make sure everyone gets a chance to play.

FYI, I do have two cats. They’ll be shut up in a bedroom during the game (otherwise they’ll be on the table chasing dice), but if you’re deathly allergic you should be aware of their existence. We have a guy in our weekly Pathfinder game who is and I’m careful to keep the fur cleaned up so he hasn’t had any problems, but YMMV.

I would like to start a campaign that would run every Saturday afternoon/evening or at least every other Saturday. I have a couple of players already and would like 2-4 more.

Do you have what it takes to survive in the savage worlds of the ‘Verse? Our game will be in the Firefly / Serenity setting using the Savage Worlds rules and original, non-canon characters (though Mal and the gang will have a tie-in — you’ll see). Join us in our journey into the Black.

No advance rules knowledge needed — I’ll teach you all you need to know (and it’s pretty easy to pick up).

This Meetup is for people who are new to Pathfinder and want to learn the game. We will run a few 1st-2nd level adventures and would like to form a core group of gamers who want to meet regularly and play a full campaign. The first session or two will focus on basic rules & mechanics of the game, but should still move at a good pace & be fun.

You do not need to have experience to join this game, but you should familiarize yourself with the rules either with the Hero’s Handbook from the Beginner’s Box or the Pathfinder Core Rulebook.

The Pathfinder Core Rulebook is available free online from the publisher at paizo.com, but I highly recommend buying the book.

Our group is starting a new campaign and we are looking for a couple more players.

We meet every Saturday from Noon to 5:30.

We plan to start the campaign on May 5th.

We’ve started this story with a great cast of characters, but we have room for one more. Episodes are every other Friday evening.

The Trail of Cthulhu Player’s Guide is available as a pdf for cast members. The Gumshoe system is profoundly simple and focused on roleplaying and investigative storylines.

CAMPAIGN SUMMARY:

The year is 1935, and horror lurks in the shadows.

CAST:

Fionn McMalley, photographer and parapsychologist

Nicolette Martin, restless socialite

George Ferguson, NYPD detective

SETTING: Initially, New York, Providence and New England – all of ‘Lovecraft Country’. It is the setting of a noir detective novel or movie, not the real world. The shadows are deeper, the colors more lush. Swarthy strangers lurk in alleyways, beautiful women hide terrible secrets, the rich are corrupt and the poor are desperate.

STYLE: The campaign has some pulp detective elements mixed in with a primarily Purist agenda, although it’s somewhat more hopeful and has more potential for the players to make a meaningful difference to the world. The threat of the Mythos is a subtle and terrible one, but human ingenuity and determination can hold back the tide, if only for a moment.

MYTHOS: The Mythos is unknown to most people, but poke around in the right musty bookstore or eerie church and you will uncover signs of the Cthulhu cult or another Mythos deity. Many strains of occultism conceal genuine magical secrets, and there are ghouls lurking in the subways. Our civilization exists on the fringes of older, greater inhuman civilizations like the Deep Ones or Mi-Go. The Mythos is hidden, but it is also all around us.

INVESTIGATORS: While ideal investigators may be police detectives or federal agents, a group could greatly benefit from a professor, antiquarian, doctor or other specialist as a consultant. The investigators should have a connection to New York, or to the occult. Or both if you so choose. They need to be competent and sane enough to be assigned important cases, but also flexible enough to cope with occult investigations.

IMPORTANT NPCs: The head of the Bureau of Investigation is, of course, J. Edgar Hoover. Fictional FBI agent Joseph Fort can be an investigator’s primary patron. A veteran of the Bureau, Fort is fervently religious and convinced that unholy forces are at work to undermine the United States. He watches for any reports of crimes or unusual events that might be the work of ‘evil-doers’.

The New York Police Commissioner during this period is Lewis J. Valentine, a cold and practical officer who has no time for stories about the occult, but approves of unorthodox measures — as long as they get results.

Several years ago, an NYPD detective named Thomas Malone led a task force composed of both city and Federal officers into the Red Hook district of the Bronx; many of these officers were killed or crippled when a tenement building collapsed on them. Malone had claimed the degenerate foreigners of that shadowed district were involved in bizarre occult rites and blasphemous ceremonies. As a result older officers who remember the Red Hook disaster will be instantly suspicious of any investigators who babble about occult weirdness and murderous monsters. Senior officials in the police department are aware that something is out there, but after the catastrophe are wary of any investigations related to such matters.

PITCH: Might range from ‘NYPD Colour out of Space’ to ‘Like the X-Files, only it’s the 1930s and it’s flying polyps instead of flying saucers’.

Going ot be just about everything 3.5/pathfinder acceptable with a very deep and inticate homebrew campaign setting. Characters and players will get ot experience the world through a multitue of different characters and locales, finding themselves often on both sides of a conflict experiencing a world that truly changes basedon their actions. The game will be DM’d by three different DM’s at different hopping off points, with room for others to give it a shot if they would like. There will also be a real world session tracker, event tracker, and character pages online so that everyone can experience the richness of the world that everyone creates. Very free as far as character, races, etc so if there’s something you’ve always wanted to build or try but never been able to, this is probably the game for you.

Looking to be 60-40 roleplay combat at first, to feel out individual tastes. Multiple groups will be playing in the same world, and as it may happen might just be a special event where you and your group wind up in the same area as another PC group and who knows what might then happen?

All we ask is that you be fun, mature and leave the power playing at home. Through experience can tell people whose sole goal is stat pushing and kill counting don’t tend to stick around long.

Location: Plano/Wylie and occasionally Denton area.

So whose ready to throw dice?

Looking for players to start a new Pathfinder Group at my Apt in Plano. I am looking for 3 more players to join this group with myself and my wife.
