Ok I have some good news and some bad news.

First the Bad News: I probably won't be running this game in the forseeable future. I've been diligently working on maps, illustrations, and villains to get it started quickly after the Chimera game, but something has come up that I really feel compelled to focus on. I may come back to this game once the project is done, but I can't promise anything.

Good News (for me at least): I'm working on an adventure book in the style of Joe Dever's Lone Wolf series from the 80's and 90's. If you aren't familiar with them, they're available for free now online here:
http://www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books
I've talked to Chris (aka BASHMAN) about using a BASH! Lite rules set to run the game and he's given me the thumb's up to start on it.

It is a superhero adventure book featuring a young man named Noc who weilds the power of the night to fight crime in Universal City (may change to Megapolis but I have some reservations about stepping into that setting for a number of reasons).

Hopefully one or more of you will be interested in being my guinea pig to test the system and give me some feedback on the book.

So my apologies if we don't get to use the awesome characters you guys have come up with (seriously, I think this would be a challenging and fun team to narrate for), but this is an opportunity I can't pass up and I hope I can share it with you guys.

Yeppers, was just waiting to see what the rest of you wanted to do. I know Fenris wants to head back to the police station...

If any of you guys are interested in seeing the first take on the adventure book and BASH! Lite rules that go with it, PM me your email address and I'll send it your way.

It's far from complete, just covering the first "act", but I'd like to get some feedback on character creation and conflict resolution system that I have down.

I would happily give my opinion if you'd like.

I sent you two a copy of the rules. If you didn't receive it, let me know.

I'll get the revised adventure in your hands by the end of the week.
