Hello everyone, like the title says, this is more of an interest check than a player recruiting thing (that will be coming up in a few weeks) reason for this is, I know Double Cross is a niche ttrpg that I'm not sure how many people out there really know. But regardless of this, I am wanting to run a campaign. If you are curious about Double Cross or need a refresher, here is what you need to know... (these will be direct quotes from various sources) - Double Cross is an anime themed RPG of super powered humans that was recently translated into english. Unlike the generic BESM, Double Cross is intended only for a specific genera of super powered anime. Think "Get Backers" instead of "Cowboy Bebop". The core idea of this game is that players have newly acquired super powers and something / someone they want to protect. But the more they use their power, the more they risk loosing their humanity. - The default setting is contemporary Japan, but other various settings are available for play. Player characters are called Overed and possess superhuman powers brought from a virus called Renegade. Overed's supreme powers are classified under 13 syndromes which correspond to character classes of other role-playing games. PCs select up to three syndromes. Characters with one syndrome are called Purebreed, characters with two are called Crossbreed, and characters with three are called Tri-Breeds. Many Overed are changed into Germs (Gjaum in the English translation) through overreaching with their powers, which results in the loss of sanity. PCs stand against the violence and crimes of Germs and rogue Overeds. - The game uses only 10-sided dice (there's no 5e conversion). The game contains a relationship mechanic in which PCs have special individuals called Lois and Titus, which represent their human relationships. Loises (named after Superman's love interest Lois Lane) represent important people whom the heroes protect. Tituses are named after William Shakespeare's tragedy Titus Andronicus and represent defunct relationships, or Lex Luthor style antagonistic relationships. Loises maintain the characters' sanity and prevents them from falling to madness, while Tituses can be used as temporary bonuses at the cost of losing the relationship entirely. A Lois can become a Titus in play through roleplaying or character decision. Now you're probably wondering, why not just run the game now? Cause a player I want to join is currently running a mini campaign in the slot I want to use so I'm waiting for them to finish. This game is planning to be on Tuesdays at 7pm EST. I'm currently looking for at least 4 players to join. Anyways, if you are interested comment below and I'll keep you in mind as a potential player. Also keep an eye out cause I will be posting under the "join a game" section in the next few weeks. Happy Gaming!
