Welcome to the Inn, Jen. I'm getting close to my 10th year as well but I've been GMing most of this time. Luckily for both of us, there are some real old timers here that will make us look like couple of inexperienced buffoons

Subject: Sure...
Everyone's welcome to join in, new and old 
I would like you to post character concepts before you finish up your characters, so that I can sorta see what I am up against (and for the others to avoid creating identical characters). Also, it helps me knowing how many players I have for this game.
So, post them if you've got them

Subject: Heroes' Club - Tomorrow's Heroes
Pendragon Academy has a rich history. Established and headmastered by Edward Pendragon, son of King Arthur Pendragon, in Camelot City, Pendragon Academy has done its part in educating the young minds to rise to the occasion of becoming something even greater than the norm. Although their tagline is "School for Tomorrow's Heroes", Pendragon Academy is not just for the super-humanly abled, but aims to create heroes out of everybody for every field, from doctors to firemen to prime role-models.
Pendragon Academy does not only pride itself with rich and unique curriculum, but also with engaging club activities. Various clubs, such as the chess club, the book club, the many sports clubs, and the heroes' club, create unforgettable pastimes for students outside schooltime. Pendragon Academy prides itself with having a strong swimming team, one of Britain's strongest high-school football team, and a wrestling team in a league of their own. When the school will be allowed to compete in any of these events, Pendragon Academy will surely pride itself with many trophies from these events.
So why not sign up for Pendragon Academy today? You could be one of tomorrow's heroes!
Pendragon Academy is the only known school in the United Kingdom that can handle the powers of a young supreme (a super-human being or someone with super-human powers). Other schools are simply not built to handle everything a supreme could do, accidentally or otherwise, and Pendragon has many classes that you simply won't find elsewhere in Britain, such as Super-Weapon Designs or Transdimensional Studies. Better yet, Pendragon Academy is located on the outskirts of Camelot City, Britain's super-hero city.
Most of the students are young supremes themselves. Many of them are the children of the world's heroes, although a rare few are extra-terrestrial or -dimensional visitors, or technically not children at all since they're technically not alive.
The Heroes' Club is possibly the most popular club in school, but it is also the most difficult to get into. They hold tryouts every year. Some make the cut, but most of them won't. You are the rare few who made the cut this year, beating the near dangerous tests and winning against surprising odds.
The Club is supervised by a retired heroine, Mrs. Palmers, aka Crow. You are not alone in the Club, as there are others who've joined in the previous years. Henry Stuart, aka Jolt, club president; Brianna Walters, aka War Princess, daughter of two notable heroes in the city; Elena Starlight, aka Elfshot; and Magnus Milton, aka Mindmatter.
Normally, the Heroes' Club does training and minor assignments. When a number of students start disappearing, you just got your first assignment.
I've been bursting with anticipation to get a game of Mutants & Masterminds going for a while now. This is not my first attempt at getting a M&M game started here on the forum, and I doubt it will be my last.
If you know M&M, that's awesome, but it is not required (it's basically just a modified d20 system). I will be using 2nd edition for this game, all source-books are allowed from that edition (Hero High is specially recommended).
This is a PL 8 game, meaning you have 120 Power Points to create your characters. Your origin can be anything, from being a weird mutant to being a transfer student from across the galaxy. This is my own setting where more magic and fantasy can be found than in many other M&M settings.
You need to be interested and able to post fairly regularly. If you can post frequently, I won't mind if you post only a few lines at a time. If I can read it, I don't mind.
If you bring in characters that simply won't work for this game, namely one that simply won't be able to work with the other characters or overshadows them, I will ask you to either make a new one or tune him down. Hero High has some good examples of hero archtypes for the school setting. All characters must have 2 Complications. If they won't have them when the game starts, I will pick them at random.
Remember that this is a game where you play high-school students, not full-grown superheroes. Think X-Men or Teen Titans. This is a single adventure game, with the open possibility of continuing once that is finished.
Finally, if you are interested or have any questions, just post below.

Subject: We do
In Iceland, it is called something like "Burst Day" because we're supposed to eat until we burst
We eat horsemeat and beans, but not pancakes. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find horsemeat in London, if it is possible at all, so I don't think I will be sticking to the Icelandic tradition this year

Subject: heh
Oddly enough, you called it. I am already close to finish the super-hero team called the Knights of the Round Table (or just Knights when referring to the heroes, or just the Round Table when referring to the team).
Avalon actually exists as well, and King Arthur went there to rest until he would be needed again.
There is no hero called Excalibur since the sword actually exists and in use.
If you like to do some more pondering, I can send you a link to the short version of the setting's history

Bump
(also, this thread might have been a better fit for the spamvertise forum, but I wasn't sure. Feel free to move it if that is the case. Finally, since I think a simple bump is not enough for a reply, I have decided to ramble on. ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble, ramble... Did I mention I woke up early and had a coffee? I probably shouldn't have done that...)

Topic: Camelot City is in need of heroes (and locations)
Subject: Camelot City is in need of heroes (and locations)
A few days ago I decided to write down a campaign setting for Mutants & Masterminds that has been in my head for a while now. I'm not sure why I decided to start writing it down, but after I started I decided I might as well do it properly and even publish it when it is finished. If it does well I might even do something more with it. On the other hand, this is a lot of work for just one guy and so I decided to seek help.
You don't actually need to know anything about Mutants & Masterminds because the sort of help I need involves only background. The thing is that I need a selection of heroes/villains to populate the setting. Stats will be done seperately (preferably by the same person to avoid differences) so there is no need to focus on that part. I am also looking for any interesting location that I can add to the setting to make it more fun. All I need is a name and some background (two or three paragraphs) that I can add to the setting. A clear concept is a must, but a character won't need a description (I will look for an artist or two to do some works for the book).
Everything written must be in English with as little mistakes as possible. If needed, I will make some minor changes (location, background characters' names or the like) so that the hero/villain can better fit into the setting, but i won't do that without your specific permission first. If your character or location makes it to the final version of the setting when it gets published, you will get paid for your work.
All characters and locations are welcome, but keep in mind that there is not endless room.
If you need to know, Mutants & Masterminds is a modified d20 system that focuses on playing superheroes. However, the system is broad enough to allow almost any kind of character. M&M 3rd edition is about to be published and a preview of that edition has already been published in DC Adventures Handbook.
And a little preview into the setting:
Camelot City is a heroic city and the primary focus of the campaign setting. The setting is built on the premise that some stories are true, most notably the story about King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Although there are many superheroes and -villains in this setting, magic and fairies also play a big part.
If you are interested in learning more or taking part, you can send me an e-mail. My mailing address can be found in my user information.

Topic: Arcadia City Super Team! - M&M2
Subject: yeah
You'd think so, but it appears that games such as M&M don't have as much following as free-form or D&D.
I think this is odd though, since I assumed most Innmates would enjoy playing superheroes

Topic: Arcadia City Super Team! - M&M2
Subject: .
So the game has one out of the minimum of three players I'm aiming for. I'd prefer getting this game up and running as soon as possible. If you don't know how to make a character and don't want to study the book too hard, but still want to play, I can make a character for you. Reading the book is recommended though.
Also, bump.

Topic: Arcadia City Super Team! - M&M2
Subject: Arcadia City Super Team! - M&M2
I've been brainstorming with an idea for a Mutants & Masterminds setting which I call Camelot City. The idea basically revolves around the idea that fairies, led by Morgana le Fey, have made three attempts at attacking Earth, each time (supposedly) spilling fairy energies into the setting's reality which causes some people to develop superhuman abilities. If not for Merlin, and the Merlinian Order, the fairies might have succeeded.
You can skip this if you want, just some backstory
The most notable location in this setting is Camelot City, built with Stonehenge at its center. Merlin designed and created Stonehenge as a lock after the first attack. Nobody knows what is locked there, except maybe the inner circle of the Merlinian Order. King Arthur pulled Excalibur from the stone not far from the henge and the castle of Camelot was built at that spot. The Merlinian Order also has its headquarters in the city, a decision made after Morgana's second attempt at taking over the Earth and breaking Merlin's lock.
The third fairy war took place in 1952, shaking the world yet again after World War II. King Arthur returned and sacrificed himself in a battle against Balor, king of the dreadful formori. Merlin himself returned as well, and after the battle was over returned to slumber.
And start here again...
Basically, Camelot City is a very important location to the setting, but it is far from being the only one. I've been meaning to start a game here on the Inn so I thought, "why not start a game that will let the players add to the setting through play and their own characters' backstories?" That is what I am going to do.
Basically, one of the cities important to the setting is Arcadia City in the United States. I have not decided on a state or even coast (and I honestly don't think it will matter too much). As of yet, it is only a blank, generic city. Notable buildings or characters have not yet been created.
I am looking for a group of superheroes that will act as the Arcadian Superhero Team. The group can theoratically be dozens, but for this game there will only be a handful acting at any given time (3-6).
This is what I will require from the players:
-A player needs to create a reasonable character of powerlevel 10. Any 'unreasonable' character will be shot down (meaning broken characters, such as one with super strength and creates 100 duplicates of himself).
-... needs to be open to creating a location or an NPC that will fit the setting and the game. If you need a certain building, build it and assume it has been there as long as you need it to be. Any jerking around with this (such as the Master who knows everything, including the location of the villain's hideout and detailed info on the security, and willing to give up the information for free without a fuzz) will not be tolerated.
-... needs to be able to post fairly frequently. I'll be trying to update the game every week, but history has shown that I sometimes fail at that. I will not be waiting for players to post and if a players appears to have dropped out of the game I will recruit a new one.
-This is a setting somewhere between four-color and realistic. Your characters will be heroes and are expected to behave as such. But heroes can turn to villainy and so I won't be restricting your actions. If your character turns villain, however, he becomes an NPC.
-Players should be familiar with the d20 system, but really should look through the M&M book. If you need help with character creation, feel free to ask. You can use Core book system or Ultimate Power.
This is a single adventure, and I have not decided on any details. This is mostly for fun, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
Now that this long post is behind us, are there any takers?

I haven't been regular here at the Inn for a long time, but I'd like a spot in this if you've got the room to spare.
Might have to look at some B-Movies for this; thinking Bruce Campbell as inspiration.

Topic: Does Size Matter?
Subject: .
I'm currently running a L5R4 game here in London and so far, the only benefits I see with being of larger size (they don't commonly use size categories) is that it is impossible for smaller creatures to grapple you or knock you down.
Some big creatures are stronger and not particularly accurate in attacks, but those are stats unrelated to being huge. To be fair though, the big baddies aren't normally playable.

I got you still beat there! Woke up at 5:30 in the morning to an attempted burglary. Bastard probably didn't expect anyone to be home since he ran off as soon as he heard my flatmate waking up and getting out of the room. Got away with house-keys and some cards but didn't even get properly into the flat.
Also, bugger left the door open. That bastard.
