    Yeah? Well I call dibs on the SuperSoaker. Your flimsy pump-action made-in-China water pistol is no match for my heavy-as-hell air-powered made-in-China SuperSoaker!

    I'm too sexy for this font.

    Yeah I guess it'll have to do. I still have a SuperSoaker though.

    If it comes down to the wire Phil, and you absolutely need one more to play, I'll relinquish my hosting duties to play. I'd rather see this game through as a player than not at all :D

    Default Re: Overwatch hotel

    OK let's kick this game off.

    The rules
    Characters
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    You are an average person in every way imaginable. You can build on this every way you like as long as it's believable (no rambo's, secret agents or robots from the future sent back into the past to ...). Roleplaying your chracter is incouraged. it gives fuel for the narators (Secura and Split) and it elevates this game to something more then mechanics and tactics).
    In addition you can distribute 2 points in total on the following attributes:
    - physique
    - intelligence
    - will to survive.
    These will naturally influence ingame actions. Extra point(s) in physique will make you stand a bigger chance when battling whatever you might encounter and will help a bit when escape said dangers. Extra point(s) in intelligence will make you stand a bigger chance when escaping whatever you might encounter and will help a bit to find the exit of this nightmare. Extra point(s) in will to survive will make you stand a bigger chance to find the exit and will help a bit in combat.


    Gameplay
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Every turn starts and ends with the whole (surviving) group together. So remember, this is a group effort (or at least I hope it for your sakes)
    At that time, players can state their action:
    - Look for the way out
    - Search the building for clues
    - look for trouble
    Look for the way out: you’ll get a chance to get closer to the exit. You’ll need your will to survive and your intellect. If unsuccessful, you’ll end up further inside the building. When searching for clues, you’ll get a chance to find helpful information about the situation you’re in. These clues can be anything and anywhere. You’ll need your Intellect and your Physical attributes. If you’re successful, you’ll be in a better situation in encounters or when looking for the exit. If you decide to look for trouble, you be almost certain to have a confrontation. You’ll be able to take a helpful item (decided by the narators) with you before the confrontation. If you manage to fight off ‘whateverisoutthere’ then the chance of an encounter in the next round will be significantly less for everybody.

    You can choose to go with whoever is doing the same. The member with the highest ability counts for that group. Every extra member will add a diminishing bonus to the result of the action (small groups = more actions, bigger groups better chance at success). If you don’t specify further, it’ll be assumed you stayed with the group you were in. Only one group will get an encounter, so many small groups means safety for most possibly at the cost of others while one big group may spell disaster for all.

    As said before, after every turn the players regroup again for the next round. Some info is public other private. You can share all the info you got but remember that you may want to keep some info to yourself. It's rarely the trusting good guys that survive in these situations.


    Hopefully a narrator will soon post a first chapter in adition to the prologue, so that the first round can begin.
    Aditional questions or character description can now be posted.

    Character Name: Thomas

    Points spent: 2 points on Intelligence

    Background: Journal Entry 1: Overwatch. Overwatch Hotel. What kind of name is "Overwatch" for a hotel? No. A better question is why the heck did I receive this invitation? Only thing of notice I did was design a couple of Detective games, but nothing of any notice. If you ask me anything, there's something fishy going on here.

    ...in fact, I can't even remember why I agreed to coming here in the first place. Maybe I was out drinking again. Or maybe my mom told me to do it. I don't know.

    Oh well. I will write more later. For now, sleep.

    Background: Well I'm tall and strong and have a big gap between my front teeth. I once blasted the Canadian media and reinvented physics. I guess I found the invitation to this Hotel when I was looking to pick up hookers.

    Name: Mr. Athington (borrowing from YLC's game )
    Points: 1 to Intelligence and 1 to physique

    Background: Though he was born into a deeply religious family bordering on fanaticism, he has always been a rebel questioning any belief in the supernatural. That is what has brought him here as well. After a fierce argument with a very wealthy friend, he got the invitation to this place as a bet. He thinks his friend has arranged/bought into this to test of his beliefs and if he leaves this place unscathed he stands to win a handsome sum of money. Little does he know that he might not make it out alive.

    Name: Joseph Winterbottom
    Points: 1 to Intelligence and 1 to Will to Survive

    Background: Being a foster child, with just a note from his parents that they always be watching him, he had to fight his way alone to where he stands now. But life has treated him well, now he is a middle aged professor and past adventurer, who had made a fortune selling rare items he found while travelling. (People jealous of his achievements claim he is modern tomb raider, but those are just rumours aimed at his reputation) After a fierce discussion with his friend Mr. Athington he pulled some strings to arrange for them both to attend this cultural event. He didn't tell his friend that he would take part as well, but just paying him for going through with this wasn't enough for him. After all he was always looking for a chance to relive his adventurous days. The people that arranged this in background for him, told him it might be dangerous, but a Winterbottom can not be easily scared. Hopefully he hasn't become too rusty in his past years as a university professor and paper pusher.

    Name: Juno Rococo
    Points: 1 to Will To Survive, 1 to Intelligence

    Juno is a streetwalker with an unfortunate attraction to roughians. Last night she was negotiating a "date" with Chris Pronger when some idiot interrupted the conversation with offers of free lifetime stay at Overwatch hotel. Being freshly out of shanks and pepperspray, Juno thought it would be wise to make nice with the stranger and make Overwatch hotel her new base of ...cough... operations.

    Name: Dr Hugh Weston
    Points: 2 to Intelligence

    Dr Weston is a disgraced former surgeon and a recovering morphine addict. Until his craving for opiates got the better of him, Weston was known as one of the finest heart specialists in the world. However, when the survival rate of his patients plummeted, the authorities soon discovered that he had been forging prescriptions to assuage his uncontrollable jones. As a result, Weston was stripped of his medical licence, and spent almost eighteen months in jail. Now, a free man once more, he is looking to put the past behind him, and build a new life for himself...
