The Urban Guerrilla Gaming thread has gone silent for to long. I call all you gamers out there and challenge one and all to propose a new game for our thread. My gaming juices are flowing (get that dirty thought out of your head, unless of course you are by some miracle a hot chick reading this crazy thread. If so post a pic:worthless:)
Anyway back to the subject at hand who will step forward and take up the gauntlet that I've cast? Who's got the muscle for the tussle, who has the grit to get hit?

I won't be free until really until May, but was hoping to get back into gaming then (at least until September when I get busy again).

I don't know if you kids will welcome me back, but I would be willing to go for the occasional random one-shot. If you didn't live so far away and in the wrong direction for traffic, it would be way easier to do this whole thing.
I will not commit to campaigns, but if you want to try out random stuff, I could probable be available.

Yes it is similar to Call of Cthulu as far as the rule of the game. It is based on a Fantasy Setting Called Glorantha. Which has a flavor more close to the Roman Empire and the Bronze age than the Mid Evil type setting of classic D&D.
In RuneQuest there are no levels, no experience points. Your character improves in his skill through successful use of his skills and training. The fights are bloody and more deadly, you can lose limbs, and even your head. No Vorpal Sword needed.
I have an idea of what the scenario will be for this one shot. I think it will be a competition. Many warriors come together to showcase their skills, their courage, their athleticism and guile.
There will be more to come and a cast of characters, should there be interest.

Anyone got a game they want to run? I might have lost my desire to run, but still want to play if we can get something going...

Given that my SLAVE game doesn't look promising for the meet-up, I'd be willing to run it as a one-shot for all ya'll.

Right, well. This is SoTC based supervillainry. I'm reposting the application form here.
We can do this a few ways.
1. I bring a selection of wacky Supervillains for you to choose from.
2. You each post resumes for Supervillains of your own creation. No stats necessary, just whip out a resume/CV/cover letter and post it here.
3. Some combination of steps 1 and 2.
Is there some particular weekday evening people would prefer for this to occur on? My weekends are looking ugly for the next month.

I was wondering if we should just put this in the one-shots category?

Well, that is why you should send your Supervillain's resume. So relevant details like superpowers, origin, arch-nemesis, general attitude, and salary requirements will all be right there.
I'll convert that to a skeleton character sheet for gaming purposes. People can fiddle and change those character sheets to their liking during the game once they get the hang of it or if I ask them to roll something. The whole thing will very much be a pick-up game.

I dont' know the system, setting or anything beyond supervillians. Just tell me when and where and I'll just play whatever character you have.

Drew you really need to know anything beyond what would be a cool supervillian
Like the guys I posted above. All he needs is a simple description. You can also take one of the ones I just wrote up or ones that he writes up.
How about we play in June 11 my place?

RE: Recruitment
Please see to the recruitment of the Crimson Rage. As you may be aware our efforts of converting the Unstoppable Crimson to our cause has mostly succeeded. After the murder of his wife/partner by his own sidekick caused him psychotic break and he is now calling himself the Crimson Rage and is bent of world destruction. Perhaps the right insentive will put his efforts to use for us.
See attached video file:

Failure to comply will be met with termination (and we don't mean your employment!).

Hey, sorry about saying I'm going to put up a resume and not doing it and still not doing it. Doh!! Anyway the concept sounds good and I would be still willing to try it out. I can make it on 6/11, but I don't get off of work till 6:30pm that day, so I couldn't be there till 7:00pm.

I was going to ask what time we should start as well.
Mike, if you have a character concept at the game session, we can make a character on the fly. Otherwise, you can choose among one of the Supervillains I'll be bringing along.

Info should be in your inbox.
Random Supervillains are abundant. I've run this scenario as a campaign and as a one-shot twice, so I can whip something up in moments.
