Call for Players - d20 Modern - Dark Matter

[spiral]

Hi all,

My next game here on K-Man's will be a d20 Modern campaign, in the Dark Matter setting. We have four players right now, which is enough to start, but I'd like to offer two more slots, if people are interested.

The game will be set in the UK, 2007. It's a Modern setting, no Futuristic or Urban Arcana. This game focuses on paranormal activity, conspiracy theory, and extra-terrestrials (well, it *will*, once it gets off the ground).

The first game will run like a Short, it will detail how our "heroes" get involved with Dept. 7 in the first place (they all start at Level 1). If our heroes survive this initial encounter, they will be approached by Dept. 7 and offered training as field agents, at which point the real missions can begin.

Character sheets will be posted in *part* to the game's public board, the rest (feats/class etc.) will be PM'd to me as the GM. This retains a certain amount of realism/secrecy. Each player will, in time, come to have their own agendas in addition to that of Dept. 7., thus the reason for an air of secrecy about each character's exact details.

The first character will be posted to the boards soon, to show how much detail should be public. I'll give the go ahead in this thread when it's ok for the other players to follow suit.


Interested players can post to this thread to claim the 5th or 6th slot.


The game will begin Monday April 2nd.

Character Creation

d20 Modern Core Rulebook
Level 1
Ability Scores all start at 8, then you have a 25-point buy to increase them
All characters have a shared interest in the paranormal, in one way or another, and something odd in their personal history (PM me as the GM to discuss these things)
You're all acquainted, you know each other, but most likely do not know one another's secrets

Any questions, post here or PM me.

The first character has been posted. Certain parts have been kept private, so don't try adding up spent skill points or feats. As players, you don't know how many feats or what skills/talents/etc. the rest of the group should have - because you don't necessarily know the full truth about them.

Secrecy can be important in this game - but don't take it to mean that you distrust your fellow party members. It's just more like real life than d&d - we all have good friends in this modern world, that we likely know very little about.. =)

So I should PM you the character rather than posting it, so we can determine which bits are public?

[spiral]

Please do.

Everybody has a secret.. =)

Spot Claimed. I'll PM you a char as soon I can make one, which will be right after class today.

Quick Question: For Starting Wealth, what do we do about the 2d4? take 5, or Roll and and let you trust us, or use the board roller?

[dice=4] + [dice=4]= 5

Same goes for wealth Loss.

[dice=6][rand=35040379180773673737059827400173683641238992432198738848017359634]

[spiral]

Roll and I'll trust you. Just like in real life, there are various scams you can pull off to get more doe than you're entitled to .. if you're that kind of person.
