Name of the new RPG: Superfiends; The Earth-3 DC RPG
Screenname of the Proposed RPG’s Game Master: Misfit
Do You Have An Instant Messenger that we can reach you on for better conversation? (i.e MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ect.) And if so, what is your screenname?:
Nope, contact me personally for off-site means of communicating with me.
Gamemasters/Assistant Gamemasters already chosen: None.
How will the overall layout of the RPG be?:
Ongoing and seasonal, ideally. You apply for a character and post in the IC. Nothing revolutionary really.
Premise of RPG, if it is a user created RPG see below for applicable additions to this Applicaton:
Welcome to Earth-3. In the DC Comics multiverse, beyond the dimensional barrier in the orrery of worlds lies a planet on which all others are based, Prime Earth. You'd call it New Earth if you're old school. In many ways it's complete inversion is our setting, home to the Crime Syndicate of America. In a nutshell, the world's inhabitants have flipped positions on the moral spectrum while retaining the majority of their personalities, behavioral patterns and mildly altering their aesthetics. Fortunately, you don't need to be too familiar with the specifics as this game is based on no exterior continuity.
The object of the game is to tell satisfying stories with character development, nods to the original continuity, and clear plot progression without a GM holding your hand the entire time. In time, we will move our characters away from the knock-offs they started as. This is a sandbox styled game. Players will be entrusted with a great deal of freedom. However, this is no place for alienating yourself or wasting your play time. Once the game's cast as a whole has created a sizable and enjoyable plot, this segment of the game will draw to a temporary close before reopening at the beginning of a fresh chapter. You know the routine.
To be wholly honest, this is in the style of The Ultimate DC RPG without being redundant. The same sort of freedom is available here, only a different universe is the subject. I've just poisoned the water hole.
What will this RPG bring to the RPG forums?:
I miss UDC, I feel we've stumbled through it a bit and I want to do it again. I'm not sure about everyone else, though. So what I've decided to do is make a game much in the style of UDC on the world of Earth-3, or at least something to that effect. I got the idea from Justice League: Gods and Monsters. They wanted a reboot for JLU/DCAU without doing it again, so we got GaM.
So here's what I've got.
