X-Men 24' (Interest Check. Co-GM wanted. Krakoa Academy)

[JackTheTipper]

Looking to start an X-men project based on a Krakoa team. A sentient island discovered by mutants, for mutants. I'll need a dedicated Co-GM to manage the game itself, admittedly I'm more of an idea guy than a manager, so I'll need someone to take up some of the organizing and managing duties.

I just want to capture the essence of the recent animated project as well as the original from back in the day.

I think we all like our "legacy insert" games, but I don't want it to be like so many of the games that I see that force pairings in a typical sort of way , let's try to do something a little different shall we?

Legacy are fine, as are nepos, however I encourage people to create their own character, or clone, etc without checking all the usual boxes. Personality is everything. Make your character distinct from their parentage. That goes for powers as well.

Meat and Potatoes

This game will be based in Krakoa, set in the year 2024. The world has changed a lot since '97 . Some could say mutants went from the oppressed class to the privileged class. Xavier and Magnus's dream of peaceful independence has succeeded believe it or not through... Scott Summers. Ororo Munroe leads Krakoa Academy as headmistress of the academy, a position of  that's become more like that of a figurehead as of late, than previous generations.

Being a member of the X-men nowadays is more symbolic in nature than the compulsory paramilitary force it once was, some would say it's more like a fraternity now, most mutants in this age only know of peace of comfort. Soft, comfortable, peace....

I'm looking to fill some roles for the Krakoa X-men team.

Team Krakoa

Team Leader (Open)
Team Tactician (Reserved)

I wouldn't mind the chance to flex the X-men creative muscles. Mark me down for the Powerhouse.

Hmmm.... I'm intrigued by the idea of a mutant magician and have a few ideas boppin' around my noggin.

At the risk of overloading myself on RPs, I'm always interested in X-Men games.

Tentatively looking at the Brawler.

What do you consider an axillary role, by the way?

Someone like Sunspot or Jubilee whose role is more of a support.

Gotcha, thanks for the quick response.

While I do have a pet legacy mutant character in my back pocket, I do have an inkling of an idea for a new character that could be fun...

Just so I have the broad strokes of the timeline right, the setting would be the nation state version of Krakoa, which was founded for some years in-universe, sometime between 1997 and 2024? (House of X/Powers of X were published in 2019, I think?)

I'm thinking it could be fun to create someone who uses the Krakoan Battle Suit/Captain Krakoa suit that Forge designed as it was intended– someone the Arakki would have described as "weaponless", whose mutation has no apparent combat applications – but that's as far as I've gotten. 

If someone else feels inspired by that seed, feel free to run with it and I can fall back on my pet legacy mutant character.

Is everyone immortal like in the comics?

Yes...limited cloning is possible in this setting.

I'm tentatively interested in helping you run this. 

I have run 4 large group games featuring Marvel settings here on E, one of which was specifically X-Men. 

If you're serious about this, hit me up in a PM or we can talk on discord.  I have some ideas and also some questions for you.

[Rashol]

I wish I really wish I could join this but I suck so hard at X-Men characters.

The last time I even attempted something like this it was based on the Yu-Gi-Oh card levia of the deeps.

Basically if she remains submerged in water too long, she becomes a monster.

But it's not really a good character because the focus is so narrow.

I've reconsidered, not because I don't believe in your game, but because I doubt I'll have time to help run another game with going back to college tomorrow. 

I wish you the best of luck.

I’ve been wanting to get back into writing, and I love X-men a lot!

Are there any powers that are off limits, or in terms of not wanting too many duplicates of?
