Are there any people out there interested in playing in a game set in the core setting of the Mutants and Masterminds game?

One of two options

1- pl 8 group of Claremont Academy students, following them through their time at the school, graduation and becoming full fledged heroes

2- new team on the block, pl 10

Of course there will be interest in this! Especially with a good GM at the helm.

I'd be up for option one.

Oh you guys, buttering me up!

I'd be up for either; if 2nd ed.

Okay, so now the true question.

Run both? Hard cap on player count if so?

I'd start with one. If you get a good response, active posting, you feel yourself energised enough... start a second.

Hard cap though. Doesn't have to be a small hard cap like 4; but the moment you start going "Well I was going to stay with 6, but there were too many awesome concepts..."

You run into problems, in my experience.

I would interested in either. Starting with one to test the waters, concentrate on one story to really flesh it out. A player cap of 6-8 would probably work pretty well.

I'd be interested in the PL10 game.

I would like to play in a PL10 game, a new team of at least a few small two/three man teams that get together to stop the evildoers plan.

In reply to Gray-Exile43 (msg # 10):

I don't follow, is this one group or several?

Perhaps Gray-Exile43 is suggesting something like the Justice League animated series were a larger super-team gets broken up into mission-based sub-teams consisting of 2-3 superheroes, with each sub-team assigned separate unrelated missions appropriate to their characters, but come together to fight as one larger team versus more powerful/larger threats? It would be like the GM is running 2 or 3 games together, but occasionally combining them into a single game when a bigger threat presents itself.

Could be three times as much work for the GM as running a single small- to medium-sized team though. Bigger and more complicated also means more prone to failure though.

In reply to Elfy (msg # 12):

I'd need sturdy and studious co GMs for that.

 I like the slow build up that takes place going thru the school, if done right it gives you time to see what your char can do and how you fit into a group.

 So i might want to go thru Claremont training school

So, assuming both groups are a go, is that good for everyone, or should I subdivide more groups, vary more PL?

Depends how much work you want, and can, put in. The more different groups, the more work, though potentially the bigger pay-off.

Either group would be fine by me.

I'd recommend just starting off with one group and seeing how it goes honestly. Either group sounds interesting though.

In reply to mesneaky (msg # 18):

I'll do one group, but I've got an interested assistant GM, so he might handle another with my guidance.

Okay yeah, if you have an assistant GM everything's different.

Anyone interested in assisting please rmail me, I could do more groups but I'd want an ironclad editor structure

So not much of any interest in assistant GMs

So it's going to be the two basic groups first.
