Merton McSnurtle, was an ordinary turtle from Earth-C who became subject of a bet between Prince Highness, the governor of all things good, and Prince Lowness, the overseer of all things evil. To decide an argument about human corruptibility, the Princes bestowed superpowers on McSnurtle. Since McSnurtle was too lazy to give in to temptation, Prince Highness won the...

Mutants and Masterminds creator Steve Kenson and Pop Culture Pro Christopher McGlothlin join me for a Spoiler-iffic review of The Avengers movie! We discuss the film in terms of roleplaying games, particularly the Mutants and Masterminds RPG.   Tune in and let me know what you think!

It was suggested by Derek Hand that we co-opt the FATE system's use of shared backgrounds ala "Spirt of the Century" for this game, and I think that's a great idea. Its a cooperative writing, round robin exercise, but it has the benefit of giving us links between PCs before...

St. Roch neighbors New Orleans in Louisiana, resting in Orleans Parish (Louisiana has parishes, not counties like the rest of the United States) along the mouth of the Mississippi River. Its population currently numbers around 1 million, with a rough racial mix of 60% african american, 30% caucasian, 5% hispanic,...

Campaign Length I'd like to shoot for at least 5 sessions for this particular game and perhaps as many as 10, provided that we enjoy ourselves and schedules work out. That makes the whole campaign around three months at the outside. Given how easy it is to have superheroes drop...

So, after running a homebrew adventure with FantasyCraft, I'm considering options for another one shot here on Infrno.net. Most of the ideas I have relate to systems or premises I haven't had a chance to try out face-to-face. Since getting any of these games active involves getting the interest of...

My name is John and I am a Librarian living in Columbus, Ohio. I started playing RPGs in 2004 with Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. But my true love has always been superheroes, specifically DC Comics. My favorite game is DC Adventures (Mutants & Masterminds). I also enjoy bicycling, trying new foods, sleeping, playing the drums, spending time with my girlfriend,...

Started playing when I was twelve with AD&D, and have been trying out different systems ever since. Moved to a new area, and games have become few and far between for me. Looking for people to game with, and I'm willing to try out new systems.

Games I like: Love the superhero genre, also like urban fantasy, and am generally willing to try anything. Systems I am familiar with: Wild talents, world of darkness, Dresden files, Reign, Rogue Trader, and I am sure there are others as well. Systems I am learning: Traveller and Savage worlds, but am willing to learn anything if it interests me....

I've been gaming since the mid 80's.  In 1992, I formed The Adventurers Guild, a gaming club at Vermont Technical College, where I went to school for Computer Engineering (yes, that includes programming).  The club quickly grew to the largest club on campus (granted it was a small campus, but we had 30+ members) with large weekend long adventures and...

I've been gaming since 5th grade, which is a long time ago now. Roleplaying is as much of a creative outlet for me as it is a social event, so I lean toward games which focus on story and character. I'm not particularly attached to systems so much as genres or settings, but I like to think I'm also fairly...

My name's John Jessop and I'm a long time GM of various roleplaying systems including D&D 3.5, D&D 4th edition, Shadowrun, Mutants and Masterminds, and the New World of Darkness. I enjoy a wide variety of game styles, and am currently working on developing my own fantasy RPG called Shapers.
