May's BrikWars event is all about superheroes! Never tried BrikWars, but
always wanted to? Now's your chance...
First up, you can find a trailer (23.5MB) here:
http://www.seepingbrain.com/movies/TEAM%20Tailer.mpg
For those of you who either never heard of or can't remember TEAM, you can
find the original storyline under "Story" here:
http://home.earthlink.net/~joecomeau/superheroes.htm
WHO: This game will have two teams, TEAM (the good guys) and The Vitiate
(the bad guys). All are welcome. Try not to be last minute, though, as we
need to figure out teams ASAP to form strategies. Any observers can just
show up.
WHAT: A TL6 BrikWars game utilizing the Supernatural Powers Supplement.
While this is about as advanced as BrikWars gets, I have absolutely no
problem volunteering ungodly amounts of Shaun's and Dave's time to help
anyone get up to speed. Seriously, don't be intimidated, your team will be
more than willing to help you out. It's all about fun. And mayhem.
WHERE: TBD. Any volunteers to host would be greatly appreciated.
WHEN: The game is being targeted for some time in May. Since Phase III of
the Millyard project will also take place sometime around then, we'll create
2 dates, a preferred and a backup. I'll throw out Saturday May 28th
(preferred) and Saturday June 4th. Does this work for people?
WHY: Because we like you. Not really. It's been over 2 years since the first
superhero game and only now are people able to talk about it.
HOW: The teams have slightly different options. For players on TEAM, they
must create a superhero as a hero-class unit (no champions). Each player's
budget is 55 CP and you may use some of that to purchase a *single* sidekick
unit. Sidekicks can only be of the following types:
Troopers
Amazons
Synthetix
Slaves
Pilots
Mechanix
Medix
Technix
Furthermore, Sidekicks can only have up to "x2" modifications made to
him/her/it (like Fleet Feet x2) and cannot have SP.
For players on The Vitiate, you will have one really big decision to make up
front. You can either have each player create a single hero-class villain
with a budget of 55 CP, just like TEAM, though no sidekicks are allowed
- OR -
You, as a team, can have a single champion-class unit and a horde of
minions. Under this option, you are allowed a super villain budget of 70CP.
The minion budget will be calculated as ([# of players on TEAM] * 55) - 70.
The minion budget can be spent on troops, weapons and vehicles, however, the
troop types of minions are limited to:
Troopers
Amazons
Synthetix
Slaves
Pilots
Mechanix
Medix
Technix
Kamikazes
Combined fire is not necessary as Hit Points will be used. While the entire
minion budget may be spent on troopers of some kind, should a large number
of units be produced, then minions *must* operate in squads of 5 (move &
attack), utilizing a single roll for all of their actions. Only damage would
be rolled separately. Lastly, minions are limited to a "x2" on any
improvements (like Fleet Feet x2).
LOCALE: The hustle and bustle of a large city's downtown. We need buildings
of all shapes and sizes, preferably with either accessible interiors or
break-away exteriors, that you might find in a large city.
CHARACTER CREATION: Like last time, try to create a storyline for your
character. Again, once the teams are decided, it will be easier for people
to figure out what they are doing in this regard.
The official story is forth coming.
Please bring up issues, concerns and ideas!
Lastly, be sure to respond to say you're playing!
