X-Men Movieverse: Game Atmosphere

Game Atmosphere

XMM:XF is a character-driven and plot-intensive text-based roleplaying game. We have a strong tradition of complex characterization and long-ranging plots, and we welcome quick, action-driven plots in keeping with our theme.

We encourage character development and player-run plots, and, as staff, will do all we can to help you GM your own scenes. We believe that ICA=ICC, but we prefer Awesome ICA to equal Awesome ICC, and work with people to keep their characters, whether villains or just misunderstood, playable.

With our focus on a single faction, X-Factor, game plots will revolve around the members of this special team and their missions. While X-Factor is a goverment black ops group with world-wide access, we are not on missions 24/7. That's just tiring! We enjoy the full gamut of the experience, from the adrenaline soaked gunfight to the methodical research required to chase a money trail to the training and psych evaluations needed to keep agents functioning at peak efficiency. You will see RP and logs that span the spectrum from infiltrating revolutionary bases to drunken parties to sweaty sparring sessions. And often, the non-mission based RP dominates.

Because of our limited consent policy, we do try to keep a careful eye on grid-balance. In particular, we try to be as specific as possible about mutation limits early on to avoid potential miscommunication later down the road. In general, we tend to be a low-powered game.

We have a mature base of players, with many in their twenties and thirties. We try to avoid taking ourselves too seriously OOCly, and encourage an atmosphere of cooperative play, even when competing ICly. We expect people who play here to behave reasonably.
