Hi all,
I'm looking to start a new Conspiracy X campaign. I had a great campaign going before I moved to Arizona, and I'd like to start a new one here. It's a great game for newcomers - you don't need any rulebooks or need to learn any complicated rules. (My last campaign lasted for over three years of weekly play, and none of the players even bought a rulebook! Most of them never even asked about rules - they just played their character, and it worked great).
It's set in the modern day, in a world pretty much like the one we already live in, so there's no background to pick up. It's about as far as you can get form epic fantasy, so it's great for players who have never played before - some of my best players have been first-time role-players. The players are normal people recruited into a secret society which tries to infiltrate and undermine other secret societies behind the scenes, while maintaining a normal day-to-day life (job, family, etc). There's not a lot of large-scale combat - after all, the last thing the characters want to do (usually) is attract the police! Of course, government employees of one type or another are popular character choices.
If any of you are interested, please send me a PM. I'm trying to recruit people from a variety of places, to get a diverse group. I would prefer mature players (at least over 20 years old), since they tend to have a good idea of how the "real world" works - but anyone is welcome. Role-playing is central to the game, the ability to create and play a realistic character is the important thing.
We will most likely be playing every other week, somewhere in the Tempe/Mesa area. The details will depend on when everyone is available.
Please let me know if you are interested, or know anyone who may be,
-Travis
