Adam's new year game

[Adam]

On Her Majesty's Arcane Service

Set in Elizabethan times ( Elizabeth the first obviously) the party are all contacted by Dr Dee, the Queen's astrologer, who has a task or two for people of shall we say "talents".

If the two table thing takes off cool.  I would like at least three players: a fighter, a magic user and a Savante*

If not also cool but I will limit the game to a maximum of six players/characters per session. More players may have characters but six per session maximum (pretty much as we are doing with Cyberpunk).

Please register interest below.

I'm in providing I'm not GMing at the second table.

[Ross]

After last night's discussion, are we all going to gen characters, then drop in and out as numbers allow and to suit the one-shots?

Happy to GM some one-shots in turn with Ian if anyone fancies some Merc games- that way Ian won't get locked into a GM cycle away from what promises to be an interesting Elizabethan forray!

Intrigued...

Not what I would usually go for game-wise but I have had the privilege of playing some great stuff I have really enjoyed in the Winchester group that I would have not normally looked at.

Put me down as a reserve on this one. I'd like to generate a character though just out of interest.

[Adam]

Yes, Ross everyone who wants can generate a character and we'll have a varying roster a la Mission Impossible or the Defenders. If we have too many for one table we''l have an ad hoc second table with a one shot running.

So don't worry about registering interest.

Just found another review of OHMAS on RPGnet.

More full than I remember the last one being.

I'm very interested in this.

I would like to play a "scientist" and even have a character concept (Jane Lytherland).

Basic idea is a scholar, not disimilar to Dr Dee.  In order to not make a "Dee Clone", I was left looking for a twist and decided to make her a lady.  This might be interesting, given the sexist attitudes of the time (though, according to Wikipedia, England was a lot better than the continent this way).
Jane is a hypothetical daughter of the vicar of Newark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark-on-Trent#Tudor_era), who was executed during the Reformation.  She was bought up by a kindly scholar, who disappeared a few months ago.
Jane is a bit conflicted; she resents the Tudor dynasty as a whole but admires Elizabeth and Dr Dee.

I'm definitely interested in this. Pencil me in unless I'm wanted for running stuff.
