Atomic Tango (A Saturday Morning Cosmic Coffee Catastrophe) - HU interest check

Hey all,  I have been looking for a HU game for a couple years, but for one reason or another it has never really worked out (primarily due to scheduling - adulting sucks). I have come to the conclusion that if I want to play, it will probably require me being a GM. That being said I have never taken on that role before. I have played HU and Palladium games extensively in my adolescence, but it has been years since I had a core group of guys and girls to toss dice with in a supers game.  What I envision is a bi-weekly main game that is played Saturday mornings starting out around 7-8 am CST on discord with an over-reaching arch.    I want to be open to play pick up side games/down time roleplaying when time permits. Say the main arch is at a point where the supers are at home or in their base of operations and you want to prowl the streets for baddies, and you catch me or ask me if I am available for a mini sesh with yourself or a few others in the group. Let's get the dice out and see if you get that exotic weapon on the black market, or you progress in your career as a musician or whatever. I spend a lot of down time in front of my PC that I wish I was RPing on the weekends, let's get weird.  I would like to start with a core of 4 or 5 mutants (I have an idea of how the series starts) but if you want your alien or hardware character to join in I would like that to be integrated after session 0. Ultimately I would like to assemble a cadre of players that if one drops out or life happens, your character is AWOL for that session as it would be explored in a comic, but the assembled team can still get down to business. I really do not want munchkins or rules lawyers. I want to have fun, palladium is a crunchy system, and HU supers are already a tad OPed to begin with.  So, this is just something I have been thinking about for a few days.Let me know if you're interested, maybe give me a general idea of what you would like to play. Just remember I am rusty on the rules and a (potentially) new GM.  Thanks!  PS. If this goes live, it will probably start in 2-4 weeks.    

I would be very interested in playing, I have off work every other saturday, so if it is on the right weeks I could play.

I am definitely into a HU game! and no lawyering from me, I'm rusty myself but it would be a blast to play! The biweekly Saturday mornings start out of 7-8 am CST works for me!  I'd be interested in a Psionic Mutant :D  Thanks for posting this and I'm looking forward to seeing what might happen! 

Jordan. The first session would tentatively be on August 11th and biweekly from there. 

Knomad, Thanks for replying.  Do you have an idea for the powers your character will adopt?

Have a little bit of a backstory thought up and depending on how mutants/psionics are perceived in the world you're building BUT I don't wanna get ahead of myself haha! But I'm all for this! 

I'd like to try HU, pending group dynamic and compatibility.  I love superhero, but am unfamiliar with the HU system.  I've played more Hero system, GURPS, and old school V&V.

Ugg to early for me but sounds fun.   As a g.m. The best advice i can offer is just arbitrate the setting and such. Players rarely follow what you expect them to do, and never ever invest your self  in an n.p.c. as the main focal point of a story. if you do make sure the players are always dealing with lackeys (velcro ninjas every where.). As for rules be open to discuss them but be the final word. If its a major issue just say we'll go with this for now and discuss it later. oh and avoid p.u. 2 and rifters in your game lol

Kane - Thanks for the advise. The time might be flexible depending on what works for those interested and what I can negotiate with my little lady. I could always use a good storyteller PC... and yeah. PU2 gets kinda power heavy (actually the stories main villain is rolled from one of the new power categories).

Jordan, I am sorry to hear it. If things take off maybe I can get the wife to agree to a weekly game, or if things get switched up. I will try to keep you in mind if things change.
