Not Star Wars, but have Psychics with energy swords, and laser rifles... We play a consistent and casual campaign of a streamlined version of Rifts with elements of Shadowrun (Palladium d20 skills, spells, tech, setting, psionics, with Shadowrun-ish, matrix-like, drones-ish, magic, political/corporate background). Gameplay has generally involved equal amounts of role-playing, recon and intelligence gathering, and combat including melee, ranged, magic, robots, psychic, drone, astral, cyber, metaphysical, vehicular, and whatever other combat I can integrate. Rifts allows for generally any character class from other systems to successfully be played with strengths and weaknesses (e.g. melee fighters from any era need to be point blank, tech characters need support, ranged fighters need distance, balanced characters may have more skills with less ability, compared to specialist with less skills of high ability, etc). All players start at level one. If desired, memory and backstory can probably be imported from previous games, maybe even a trait or two, because RIFTS. Our group is looking for 1-2 long term players. Anyone 21+ is welcome to join. We use Google Hangouts and Roll20, and generally play almost every Friday at 8pm NYC time till about 11pm, although we are scattered throughout the states. On rare occasion we play up to 5 hours. We generally have 3-5 players present + GM. All players may not be present every week, but they play regularly. We are looking for the same. The game runs slowly, and often starts late. Waiting time may be filled with the ramblings of the demographic (professions, houses, spouses, kids, or lack of, sports, tv, movies, games, generally avoiding politics). We are a group of Gen X "bros" that know each other for many years in r/l. I consider our group to be open minded with differing view points within, respectful and respectable, courteous, and welcoming to anyone. Required are patience with small talk, and flexibility of gameplay. Alcohol consumption is common but not excessive, nor expected. Think Friday Happy Hour meets Rifts. I have been running the campaign with varying friends since 1991. The current squad has been playing together for about 3.5 years on Roll20. For us it is about hanging as much as playing, but the focus is the game. Again, anyone 21+ is welcome to join. If your interested in joining the movement to restore local and global order in a post-post apacolyptic world through corporate and political black ops mercenary work, please respond. Muscles, Magic, Metal! Rifles, Robots and Rockets! Grab the dice. Lock and Load! I have spoken. \m/
