Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Invitation for Legion RPG Players

The Roll 20 site enables gamers to get together and play role playing games (such as D&D) over the internet. Some of you may be aware that I have been developing a Legion of Super-Heroes RPG for the past few years. I am preparing a mini-campaign to further play test the game. This is an invite to any Legion fan who thinks that they may like to participate. The following link will take you to the Roll 20 campaign invitation. Click on the "View Details". Once the page changes, click on "The Legion of Super-Heroes Mini Campaign" and see if there is anything there that you like.

Thanks for the invite though I can't see a link.

Sorry about that...cut & paste strikes again. Link has been added to the original post.

I made an account and logged in, but can't find the campaign.

The game is listed if you go to "Looking for Group" which is found at the top of the site once you log it. Click "Looking for Group" and about 6 games down you should find the Legion game.

Is it this game?

Yes it is. I reposted the same information below since its difficult to locate on the other site.

Greetings, I have designed a role playing game based on the Legion of Super-Heroes comic book. The game has seen some play testing in the past and I am preparing to continue this process by having a mini-campaign. I am looking for players THAT ARE LEGION FANS. Each player selects two Legionnaires and places each character in separate groups. The campaign revolves around both groups and play goes back and forth from one group to the other.

Each player will receive Microsoft Word documents which encompass the rules of the game. The combat chapter is mandatory reading. The rules are straightforward and easy to learn, math is at a 3rd grade level (at best). I am looking for 3-4 players.
Not all Legionnaires are created equal; some are certainly more powerful than others. To avoid power play, each Legionnaire has been rated levels 1-5, with five being the most powerful and one being the weakest. Players will receive pre-made characters. Each player selects their characters as follows:

Level 5 and Level 1 or 2
Level 4 and Level 1, 2 or 3
Level 3 and Level, 1, 2, 3
Level 2 and Level 2 or 1
Level 1 and Level 1

Character Levels
Level 5: Superboy (has been taken), Supergirl, Mon-el, Ultra Boy
Level 4: Wildfire, Blok, Saturn Girl, Colossal Boy, Chameleon Boy, Element Lad,
Level 3: Cosmic Boy, Tellus, Timber Wolf, Lightning Lad, Lightning Lass, Ferro Lad, Tyroc, Sun Boy, Polar Boy, Quislet
Level 2: Shadow Lass, Princess Projectra (Sensor Girl is unavailable), Light Lass, Star Boy, Triplicate Girl (has been taken), Brainiac 5 (has been taken), Invisible Kid I or II,
Level 1: Bouncing Boy, Dawnstar, Dream Girl, Shrinking Violet, Phantom Girl, Matter-Eater Lad,

Example: Player John may select a level 5 Legionnaire (Superboy) and his second character must be from levels 1 or 2 grouping. Susie may select a level 3 Legionnaire and the other is either a level 3, 2, or 1 grouping.

If you have any questions about which Legionnaires you may select, please ask. White Witch and Sensor Girl were intentionally left out of the list for individual reasons.

YOU MAY NOT CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER, YOU MUST CHOOSE FROM THOSE LISTED ABOVE.

I REALLY AM LOOKING FOR PLAYERS THAT ARE LEGION FANS. If you are not a fan of the Legion it will detract from role playing characters properly and you will not be familiar with the organization as well as the Legion universe. If you are willing to research your characters and the Legion universe to catch up to speed I can be flexible.

This game is heavy on role playing. Players are expected to talk in the game as if their character were speaking! This does not include:
“Cosmic Boy says………………” or “I tell them………..”

If you are not BIG on ROLEPLAYING THIS GAME IS NOT RECCOMMENDED.

THE FOLLOWING LEGIONNAIRES ARE ALREADY SPOKEN FOR: SUPERBOY, BRAINIAC 5, TRIPLICATE GIRL AND WHITE WITCH

I would never have considered Shrinking Violet as one of the weakest Legionnaires. In fact she seems far superior than Light Lass.

So why were White Witch and Sensor Girl intentionally left off the list?

Certainly the list is subjective to opinion and player capabilities. The list above could be modified when the character is finalized. But to answer your questions....The basis for how powerful a Legionnaire is for game purposes is combat ability and powers. The amount of physical damage she can take is no different than most of the other Legionnaires. The amount of damage using brawling or martial arts she can deliver is equal to most other Legionnaires (depending upon if were talking Silver Age, Bronze Age or Modern Age).

Many other Legionnaires possess energy related powers which inflict a lot more damage than hand-to-hand combat. That is the reason she is rated lower. A clever player could use her power to avoid damage in combat.

Sensor Girl was left off the list because I want to use the earlier version of the character which is Princess Projectra. White Witch was left off the list because she may be spoken for already and I didn't want players disagreeing about who would play her.

I would also have rated Shrinking Violet higher. I also find it interesting that Phantom Girl is rated below Invisible Kid.

And Dawnstar at Level 1 is sure to find a lot of disagreement here.

I don't have much experience roleplaying but I will check the site out.

I would refer to my post directly above yours to answer your questions as best as possible. As mentioned, its subjective. Dawnstar may need a revision given her speed which she can utilize in combat. Invisible Kid is able to utilize potential surprise all the time and Phantom Girl most of the time. Perhaps they should be equal.

Thank you, Phantom Girl. I actually posted my post before I saw you had already responded to Leather Wolf. But I do appreciate your consideration of our comments.

No problem, I expected that not everyone would agree with my selections and that's ok. When each character is completely finished we add all their abilities together to determine how powerful a character is compared to another.

Al lot of what makes a character useful and powerful is the player behind them.

ARGH for missing out on this!

Just sent you a PM if your still interested in participating in the Legion Role Playing game.
