Honestly, fellas... do you think it would be worthwhile to attempt to revive this RPSC?

Perhaps in a manner that makes it rely less on one person (i.e. the chief editor)?...

I'd like it to keep going, and I can help with pretty much anything required.

I really enjoy writing narratives -- when I can find the time... it's been so disjointed over the last couple years, though... There have been so many great figures for 'my' WCAvengers released over the last couple years, and I've had ideas for story lines for a couple of my characters for years, too ...

It's really a time issue for me.

Like I may seem to be around a lot on the mafia boards but I'm phone posting 98% of the time.

Hard to write an issue one sentence at a time on my phone. Really hard to play a turn on my phone. Even replying to story stuff (I think Tech and Gargantuan are the ones waiting on me) on my phone isn't the easiest with kids breaking up your life into 5 min increments.

Okay. Responded to Tech's last email so there's that.

Huh. I'd never noticed this before. Seems like it would be something up my alley, as I've been contributing to the HRPS threads. I was skimming through the thread and thinking this would be a great way to let my girlfriend play the Guardians of the Galaxy figures she always wants to play, leveling them up and having adventures, and I'd just play whatever team was going against them each week (and write up the stories). But alas, it's fizzled?

Hey Skullbro.

If you guys want to write stories that fit into the universe and use the level up system we've got, we'd be happy to have you.

The RPSC isn't so much dead as just super slow atm. Everyone's just playing at their own pace.

Is there a central hub linking all the previous issues that have established the universes?

This. Is. Amazing. How have I never found this?

excellent! It looks like we're finding some newly interested parties!...

There was but then that wiki got shut down.

We've been tagging threads to keep track of issues.

That should have links to all books except X-Force and Weapon X (1 or 2 issues each). Those books would follow the same naming convention as the other tags.

So what I really need to do to make things jump onable again is

1) Write a quick summary of Marvel and DC continuity in the RPSC so far. Doom's invasion, the gang war, Avengers Defenders war, the big X-Men shakeup, etc. (If Mike or somebody did this for Marvel, it would help)

2) A suggested reading list for each universe. <10 issues I'm thinking that basically covers that summary.

3) Verify and re-list the current teams (WCAvengers, X-Factor, Sinister Six, Future Foundation, New Titans, Metropolis) and the teams that have setups and can start easily (Weapon X, X-Force, HDC, Justice League, Teen Titans). I think that's all the teams that have seen movement in the past year, plus whatever X-Team Tech wants to run. Not trying to kick players off books but I'm assuming anyone I haven't talked to in a year isn't interested in continuing.

4) Summarize the pitches for the other books.

Part of what's making it hard for me as editor is keeping everything in my head and writing this all out every time a new player shows up. I have "bibles" for each universe but they're about three years out of date.

Would love to get involved, is there a way to see what teams have not been taken yet?

Hey, Mick, DB and Skullbro.

Step 1 to joining the RPSC is knowing that our players write the stories themselves. We collaborate on crossovers and planning but at the end of the day, the players must at the very least turn story outlines into actual stories. We can easily work around different skill levels, time commitment, and how much you want to collaborate vs do your own thing....but we can't write each issue for you.

If building up a team, leveling up individual characters, fighting against villains, having the consequences of your matches carry forward and telling your team's story sounds like a good time, welcome aboard.

If building up a team, leveling up individual characters, fighting against whoever, having the consequences of your matches carry forward and competing with others is more your speed, I'd recommend the Heroclix Fantasy League or the Fantasy League Elite.

If you have a ton of ideas and writing skill and want to only use me as a keeper of continuity, great. If you've never written a story in your life and want me to plan arcs with you, that's also great.


Step 2 is choosing a team.

My previous post includes a list of the current teams (Metropolis is basically Superboy, Supergirl and friends) as well as some teams that are established in our continuity but don't have players right now. Those established teams have an easy jumping on point and some leftover story arc ideas but you can basically play whatever team you want as long as the characters are available. So who are you interested in playing?

Thanks so much for the reply, I was wanting to do the younger avengers using the young avengers/new runaways figures as well as original younger avengers figures. I totally don't mind coming up with ideas and writing I actually already have a few ideas. Thanks for letting me know how the process works!
