Welcome to Heroics!
Heroics is a superhero-themed RPG adventure played entirely by posting in a thread, so unlike the more common adventure games played on this forum, there will be no AIM commitment to play and everyone can read along. A couple of points to note before you sign up:

Sign Ups
This is a game for 6-12 players, depending on interest. Please post to sign up, but not until I've added posts #2 and #3. Anyone posting before I get the other two opening posts up will be fed to Garbodor and possibly banned from the game.

Heroics is a superhero-themed RPG adventure played entirely by posting in a thread, so unlike the more common adventure games played on this forum, there will be no AIM commitment to play and everyone can read along. A couple of points to note before you sign up:
- As this is an RPG, there will be some dice checks to determine the success of certain actions. These will all be done by the moderator.
- However, we will not have an excessive amount of stats that must be checked and maintained throughout the game. MOST actions will be treated like an adventure game, with the GM determining an outcome based on common sense and previous game actions.
- This will be a role playing game, which means you will be posting in character. If you don't feel comfortable writing a character, then don't sign up.
- You must commit to at least 3 posts in a week, but ideally you will be posting more often so the game keeps moving. If you cannot commit to 3 posts a week, please do not sign up. Of course, if you need to go V/LA, then you may notify me so we can make accommodations.
Rules
Here's how the game is going to work:
- Once characters have been created (see second post for character creation information!) we will start the game with all the characters being gathered to together to recieve their mission. Players will then begin posting in character!
- If a player needs to ask the mod a question or make an out of context comment, the player should label the comment as such using this tag: "==OOC==" and then putting the out of context comments below.
- Players will then embark on their mission and will continue to post in character. The moderator will post to implement any scene changes and the players will react to each situation. This may require conversation or it may require action!, so be prepared to write and have some fun.
- If an action has an important outcome, the GM will roll a die to determine the outcome. The result of the dice roll and the result of the action will posted by the GM and the story will continue.
- Periodically during the game, the GM will present players with a puzzle or challenge. The player who posts a solution first will advance the story and earn points towards becoming the game MVP.
- The GM can also award points towards MVP for particularly good, interesting or well-written posts. So even if you aren't the fastest puzzle solver, you still have a shot at earning the MVP title.
- When the players have completed their mission or failed entirely, the game will end.
- And believe me when I say, you can fail miserably. If you act foolishly, not only can you fail the mission but your character could be killed off before the mission is complete. So play smart and work as a team!
