[LFP]Dark Superhuman campaign

1519362294

Edited 1519362979
I'm looking for players  in a dark fantasy/sci-fi campaign about superhuman beings, this will be run either in straight ICONs or some permutation of Fate depending on how things shape up.  This will be an audio campaign(video completely optional) at the request of someone close to me that wanted to be involved and would not be able to access the site easily through text. I am on Mountain Standard time and looking for a time during the week, preferably afternoon or evening. Dogs of the Military   (Diesel Punk Fantasy, WW1 Era Tech Level) You are all officers of a combined foreign and domestic military force in a society were serving the state with your abilities affords you access to many of the resources of the upper class, but you are also called upon to serve as political pawns and war machines at times by those in power, who see you as little more than curiosities and living weapons. Something truly sinister is afoot in the upper ranks of the military aristocracy however, and perhaps you might be the only ones who can root it out. Dispossessed   (Victorian/Edwardian Inspired Steampunk Fantasy) You are all marked as Outcaste by your abilities in a corrupt and failing society, hunted by those blessed by the Church of Everlasting Purity with powers meant to match those of the Outcaste, you are all left to rot in the gutter among the rats and cut-purses, what will you make of yourself in such a world? Shall you rise above your station and cast out the ruling tyrants? Or will you choose to twist this broken system to your will? Strangers in a Strange Land   (Modern campaign focused on alienation) You are not normal, whether you are an alien, a monster, or a secret government project you are not someone/thing that blends into a world were super thingsliterally didn't exist until you arrived. Something about your powers marks you as obviously strange and powerful, you cannot hide from a word that will fear you, but what will you do when it is threatened? The Cursed Earth   (Post Apocalypse superhuman warfare)  The earth has been destroyed, the human race decimated, small pockets of survivors scratch out a meager existence in the wastes but few aspire to rebuild the old world that destroyed itself in the superhuman arms race. Still however, warring tribes of wastelanders fight with scavenged super-tech or power passed down by bloodline or training since the times before the fall, though there are no longer large cities to destroy or a modern world to disrupt, the superwar rages on in the bleak, lifeless plains of the wastes. The Omni-War   (Transhumanist sci-fi from alien perspectives) A hundred thousand years in the future a war rages that extinguishes stars in the millions and harnesses the energy of galaxies as weapons, a terrifying conflict in which a billion lives are but an afterthought to the massive casualties of the war. You are weapons in this war, beings with the power to destroy planets, stars and civilizations, awakened for the first time to join the frontline in a war unlike any the universe has ever known. This will be a super high powerscale campaign, but as a result you perspectives are skewed to the large scale, you cannot relate to normal beings and descriptions of the world will be warped through a hostile and cold point of view making a conventional happy ending unlikely. If you are interested please submit your interest with your top 3 choices of campaign setting.
I am certainly interested. I would say my top three in order of choice would be 'Strangers in a Strange Land' followed by 'Dispossessed' and finally 'The Cursed Earth'. Personally I love the concept of strife and struggle in a story. I'm also very much into the idea of having some sort of implication each of those choices offer, especially Strangers, already have a pretty awesome character concept in mind, inspired by another Tabletop RPG.
I'm interested, especially if the game winds up being played in the afternoon.  My top three choices would be: Dispossessed, Strangers in a Strange Land, and Dogs of the Military.  I like characters with flaws, choices with implications, good opportunities for roleplaying, and friendly folks.  :D
Jesse R. said: I like characters with flaws, choices with implications, good opportunities for roleplaying, and friendly folks.  :D You will likely find three of these four things in the campaign!
I'm very interested. My three choices that I would like are Strangers in a Strange Land, Dispossessed, Dogs of the Military. I've been wanting to play a superhuman campaign for a very long time. I like a tougher game which this sounds like, plus role playing obviously.
I would love to play! I'm most interested in the cursed earth, dispossessed, or strangers in a strange land. I love interesting stories and role playing.
I'm interested, my top choices are: Strangers in a strange land, cursed earth, and dispossessed.
I have started the game under the title Dogs of the Military, the listing where those interested may apply is here <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/106175/dogs-of-the-military-dieselpunk-super-humans" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/106175/dogs-of-the-military-dieselpunk-super-humans</a>
