Lost Jungle Reboot

[Technospawn]

Please vote what we should do with the reboot. We have a lot of players that want in.

[Vela]

I voted 10. It may sound heartless, but I have real concerns about GM burnout trying to run 2 simultaneous games. It seems like it rarely works out. If you really think you can...and really want to...do it, then I won't complain or anything.

It's just...even TEN people is a LOT for an RPG. You might think running 16 people in 2 teams will be easier, but I'm not so sure.

I will have 1 or 2 AGMs to help.

Good heavens. Those are intimidating options. What’s your capacity for actually doing this?

[Imperator]

With my joining the restarted Black Company I'm good with dropping to let a new player into this.

[Ndreare]

I do not care what you do. I think you were doing really good at running three games before so if you feel you could handle a fourth I trust you.

I think the advantage of a large game on PBP is when players are not posting you can still move the game on after 2 weeks because you will have enough players.

I would say when setting dramatic tasks just set the difficulty as X tokens per player and then only count the active players.

PS: If it goes into 3 games I would totally want to jump in one of the other games. Maybe with the character I already had in Dan's CS game that ended in Antarctica or in the FOM game with another attempt to get Gill in action hoping a game will make it.

I was thinking the same thing... and partially joined to PC alongside Lars

I could bring back Klanker, my Size +2 Combat Borg...

Any boy can piss on the floor, but a real man can crap on the ceiling.

My moto has always been if it is not damn near impossible then why bother trying. I love the challenge and would welcome the chance.

Voted for max 24 players…. I got an idea for a CS character.

I can not commit to this yet. I gotta sleep on it. But another GM could run with it!

Welcome to the Jungle!

1st Force Recon, 1st Army Special Forces Reconnaissance Unit, Coalition States Army, Chi Town.

The first army is based out of Chi Town. The unit has a brilliant history of success and awards. The 1st Force Recon team is a coveted team to become a member of, similar to being a part of the old U.S Seal Team Six.

• Build options: Make character as per RAW with standard forum rules. Re-trapping may be allowed on a one off basis, but no 'special' characters. All characters are standard / normal CS troops from Chi Town. Unlike most of my games that have unconventional characters this truly is CS characters.
• Advancement: Character will begin with 3 total advancements (7 if MARS). This already includes site bump and all other factors. Representing that your character has been a part of the CS for a year or two.
• MARS F&G Roll: MARS characters may select their Fortune and Glory results, however the same option may not be selected multiple times.
• Hero's Journey: You may roll the dice, then select from your character's allowed Hero's Journey tables to apply the die roll to.
• You are loyal CS: troops, grunts, intel ops, special forces, psi stalkers, dog boys, wilderness scouts, EOD etc. You have been selected for a special mission in South America. Please feel free to discuss options with GM.
• All ranks will be enlisted unless approved by GM to be an officer. If you via for officer be prepared to be team leader.
• Special Note: Each of you has a reason you can speak Spanish. Either from your background or by CS training. This skill is free: Speak Spanish d6. So you can speak American and Spanish but not read or write either. You are illiterate! Unless you spend/buy an Edge: Literate: (Language).
• Max 8 Players.

This game is part of Technospawn’s Lost Jungle Campaign. There may be some team vs team combat, as you all are trying to obtain the same objective. You should know that this will be, basically, a modified version of the Savage Worlds Mass battle combined with a dramatic task. Completing the task gives you tokens and represents advancement towards a goal for your team, all while fighting the other teams. Player Characters will not be killing Player Characters, however there may be battles between groups.

The CS team will assemble in Chi Town, be sent to S. America and play through their own trials and tribulations while occasionally interacting with the other two teams headed to S. America.

Ultimately there will be a showdown or some sort of epic crossover between the three teams/groups sent to obtain the artifact in S. America. Granted to get to that point the Characters will have to survive the mission deep into South America. There will be more than just Federation Mages and Legion members to deal with on the journey.

Rifts Lost Jungle: CS 1st Force Recon
GM: UNKNOWN
Between the Legion and Federation of Magic, you are being sent as CS Special Operatives to recover a ancient magic artifact before the Legion or Federation can.


What do you think?

[Freemage]

Since you're confident, I opted for the four teams.

4 teams and the Black Market and Vampire Kingdom make up the fourth.

Hell I'll even GM the Black Market and Vampire Kingdom side.

[Adriana]

I opted for 2 with the agms in mind. I also do not want to drive GM burnout.

[Vikon Athir]

Honestly intrigued by the 3 way game. But if we stay at 10, I'm willing to drop for a new player. CS characters are always fun, too. Could try my mind melter from Patrick's game again.

Yeah, I think Techno had a Cyborg he went all in on, but could not use because the game was to slow and died. Maybe he could be a player if there is a third.
