Eh, the decline had started long before Twi pulled out. And even with her and Kobold coming back, there'd be a good amount of posts unmanned. So actually taking the old threads up again sounds... unlikely.

...it's a shame I already spend the killing Nighthound option. Still, there's a bunch of ATTD members left that we could off in a ritualistic sacrifice.

Offer to let everyone punch Nihhthounds corpse?

That sounds like a holy pilgrimage site, if I've ever heard one.

On another note, I've messaged Twi and she said that she’s fairly bussy with work, so she doesn’t know how much time she'd be able to devote to this.

I’d say sequel threads for interested people would be the way to go then, starting with a relatively clean slate and going from there.  

We have a whole world of epics and I at least have a good working knowledge of Canadian cities 

[Voidus]

I have a list of approximately all the Epics and I only managed to introduce about 1% of them last game so if anyone needs canon fodder.

Didn't we already use Cannon Fodder?

[Voidus]

I believe Cannon Fodder was mentioned in a questions thread but not in game.

How many of them would fit a Las Vegas show theme?

At least a few dozen, it's been a while since I last checked.

CANUCKS UNITE

 

Edit: All this talk of a reboot has got me thinking of epics... May I present: Silhouette!

primary ability: Illusions. Silhouette can create shadowy images that appear to have substance. They are easily identified due to silhouette only being able to make grey illusions, but at night they are often hard to see. Silhouette can use these as though they were real, physical manifestations of his will.

Secondary ability: Shadowmelding. Silhouette can briefly turn into shadow, and though he can move in this state, he cannot control his actions. Instead, he must picture where his shadow will go and it’s actuons before entering the form, where those instructions cannot be changed until completed.

Background: Silhouette, AKA Jack Hallen, was a law student who enjoyed boxing all through high school, and kept at it through university. His father ran a small auto shop, and lost an enormous lawsuit to the richest man in town over the hallens right to their land. They were kicked off the property, and all of the family members began to work shifts to put the smartest of them, jack, through school. He was a fairly standard student, above average in sports and school, but nothing about him really raised eyebrows except his determination. He went to law school to try to make the world a better place, to fight against those who took advantage of the hardworking men and women of the world like his father. After becoming an epic, his values became warped, and he began going after people not for their deeds, but simply because they had money. He would shadowmeld his way into their homes, then beat them to death with his fists. He takes a perverse pleasure in killing those with money, and will sometimes elevate those in poverty to high status before killing them for it. 

 

Hopefully we can get a few new epics going for one last run at Reckoners RP!

Magmaw
Primary ability: Manipulate molten rock (Can move, maintain temperature or rapidly cool it)
Secondary ability: Able to transmute his own body or anything inside of it into lava.
Passive ability: Immune to any damage as a result of heat.

MO: Eats copious amounts of food then throws up lava which he keeps handy for offensive or defensive purposes.

So when he cools down his stomach lava, does it turn back into whatever he ate or does it stay rock? Because the ability to create stone structures pretty much at will sounds like a nifty side effect. Almost as nifty as that pun name.

Now I’m just picturing a heat resistant epic encased in lava emerging as it turns back into tofu.

But then it turns out that it was all part of Magmaw's brilliant plan, as tofu was the Epic's weakness all along.

[Bladestorm]

I like the idea of using a Canadian city, but they could be too unfamiliar for most people. Toronto’s the big one, and it’s already part of canon.

Either, when he just cools it down it stays as rock but is then outside of his control (Unless he eats it again) but he can just release the transformation and turn it back into whatever it was before.
(I cannot express how happy it makes me to be able to do this again :D)

Quick question, what would define inside of his body? Could he transmute piercings? 

EDIT: and by moving it, what do you mean. Could he make it levitate?

Yes and yes, 
On my scale he would be a tier 2 telekinetic. Able to control only one specific substance and only with about as much force as the human body can exert, however he can control a wide area of it at a time.

You have a scale? Is it in a shareable doc somewhere? Cause that sounds interesting.

[Voidus]

I have some specific common abilities completely mapped but broadly speaking:
Tier 1 - Either very, very situational and useful or else a power that is not particularly useful
Examples: The ability to know exactly what time it is, the ability to make purple pens explode
Tier 2 - Not the most powerful of Epics but still noticeably more powerful than any non-Epics. Or a situational but powerful ability. Usually Tier 2 Epics have little issue killing any single person but could easily be overwhelmed by even a small group.
Examples: Invisibility, small firebolts, ability to heal while submerged in water
Tier 3 - Stronger Epics, usually capable of wreaking destruction on the scale of a city block without much difficulty, hard to combat even with a group of people. Some High Epics fit in this category if their PI is able to be circumvented without their weakness.
Examples: Deathpoint, Fortuity's foresight, Far reaching teleportation, Prof's Tensors
Tier 4 - Powerful High Epics, those capable of city wide destruction, PIs at this level generally cannot be overcome without their weakness.
Examples: Mitosis, Conflux's energy generation, Faultline
Tier 5 - Very wide ranging destructive ability, insurmountable PIs, very few Epics fit into this category
Examples: Steelheart's invulnerability, Obliteration's exploding,  Nightwielders sun-blocking is on this scale, Regalia's water manipulation

Full discolsure here, I've never been to America, so it's not like an american or canadian city would make much of a difference to me.

I've also heard of Montreal and Québec.

Uh, being able to pick either is always neat. Can he transform material once it's in his mouth? Could be useful for breaking down the material of large structures.

Hm, I should still have some power profiles lying around that never made it into the RP. Maybe I should dig them out once I'm off from nightshift again.

Yeah same here, Portland is not a city I knew anything about before the RP. But alternatively we could set it in Europe somewhere, I'd think there would be a lot easier justification for large pockets of Epics there since it's all 1 landmass so it'd be easier to travel.

Hey, Europe is a continent I've actually been on.

Though at that point, we'd be so distanced that there's little chance of any characters crossing over into the sequel, if we ever want to do that.

Funtimes teleports some Oregonian Epics over for a gap year?

[nmgrgtna he/him]

I would prefer to play my already created epic if possible. I barely got to use him at all.
