1. What game system are you running (D&D, Call of Cthulu, Palladium, GURPS, etc.), and if applicable what edition (Original, Classic, Revised, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th, etc.)?
Mutants and Masterminds 3rd edition, possibly expanding into or using a modified Ascendancy (link in my sig) ruleset depending on what people want.
2. What 'type' or variant of game will it be (i.e. "Shadow Chasers" or "Agents of Psi" for d20 Modern)? What is the setting for the game (eg. historic period, published or homebrewed campaign setting, alternate reality, modern world, etc.)?
70s Americana setting in the vein of the Secret World, built from: Exalted vs WoD, World of Darkness, Chronicles of Darkness, WoD Fan-Material, Exalted Second and Third Edition.
If you have questions please ask, I am an open book and at the least can point you in the right direction if you're unfamiliar with any of this.
3. How many Players are you looking for? Will you be taking alternates, and if so, how many?
Still figuring this out.
4. What's the gaming medium (OOTS, chat, e-mail etc.)?
GiantITP, Discord
5. What is the characters' starting status (i.e. experience level)?
PL20
6. How much gold or other starting funds will the characters begin with?
300pp , I'd like half spent on non-combat. (this isn't a necessity, please don't make a combat beast if you don't want to RP as one though please)
7. Are there any particular character classes, professions, orders, etc. that you want... or do not want? What are your rules on 'prestige' and/or homebrewed classes?
If it's cool it's good. Exalted are the general baseline, but you're open to make what you want.
8. What races, subraces, species, etc. are allowed for your game? Will you allow homebrewed races or species? 'Prestige' races or species?
Anything fitting with Exalted and WoD. The characters shouid either be Exalted themselves or something suitably powerful.
9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points?
Point buy lol
10. Does your game use alignment? What are your restrictions, if so?
Alignment ooh... Standard alignment chart+colour wheel (
https://forums.giantitp.com/showthre...heel-3-5-PEACH). Do both if you'd like.
No restrictions so far, just don't submit chaotic evil and use it as an excuse to go off the deep end.
Omnicidal is fine, that's the schtick of Abyssals afterall, but please temper it if you want to group up.
11. Do you allow multi-classing, or have any particular rules in regards to it?
N/A
12. Will you be doing all of the die rolling during the course of the game? Will die rolls be altered, or left to the honor system? If players can make die rolls, which ones do they make, how should they make the rolls, and how should they report them?
Players roll dice on the forums.
13. Are there any homebrewed or optional/variant rules that your Players should know about? If so, list and explain them, or provide relevant links to learn about these new rules.
Looking into homebrew, if you find anything cool feel free to share it with the group. Maybe importing 2nd edition powers?
14. Is a character background required? If so, how big? Are you looking for anything in particular (i.e. the backgrounds all ending up with the characters in the same city)?
Character background is a must, part of this is going to be worldbuilding and welding together canons. Doesn't have to be particularly long.
15. Does your game involve a lot of hack & slash, puzzle solving, roleplaying, or a combination of the above?
Roleplaying, worldbuilding, exploring, society building... Combat if people want that, I may need help running it though. This is going to be what we as a group make it.
16. Are your Players restricted to particular rulebooks and supplements, or will you be allowing access to non-standard material? What sources can Players use for their characters?
No restrictions, but if it's not from the players guide please tell me where it's from so I can read into it.
