.: About :. |
Deus Ex Machina is a mature X-Men based RPG. The backstory to this game is very simple: Charles Xavier, a mutant himself, although wheelchair-bound, has opened a school to teach mutants to use their powers for good. He and his team of X-Men struggle to build a peace for mutant and humankind, against the forces of both mutants and humans who believe that there can be no peace…especially Charles Xavier’s former friend, the mutant Magneto.
This RP came about as the result of the implosion of a game that began on Chathouse’s East Wing some seven years ago. This game would be, in a sense, the third generation descendant of that one. The previous games had become so complex and interwoven that it was nearly impossible for new people to join in, and most of the original members of the game had long since left or just vanished. The obvious solution was to begin fresh, wipe the slate clean and start something new. And here we are.
The goal for Deus Ex Machina is to be an advanced RPG, ‘advanced’ being a rather fuzzily defined term, but essentially an RP tailored for older, more experienced players with good writing and roleplaying skills. As such, we will most likely have more rules and regulations than other similar roleplaying games, and higher expectations of our players. This RP will also include some adult themes, sexual situations, and violence. It is not for everyone. We encourage people to sample the current threads and get a feel for the game, so that they can decide for themselves if the game is for them.
