Would there be any interest in a canon Marvel Heroic Roleplaying game, run without a GM by using the Motif Story Engine system? The idea is that everyone helps in writing an ongoing freeform story, and whenever a variable is introduced (anything from an NPC we need a reaction from to a villain appearing), we roll on a chart to determine the specifics. Players (including me) would take turns rolling as needed, and there would be a separate thread detailing whatever gets created. Everything else is handled through the MHR rules.

I'd be interested in trying that.

I'd be interested in something like this.

Neat concept but omg hurts my head. So who runs the NPCs and Villains?

Everyone does. The Doom Pool sits in the middle, and if you introduce, say, a rogue Sentinel, you build his dice pool, roll for him, and provide the results.

If the players need to know the temperament of the bouncer at the club where Dazzler is performing, there's a chart for that.

If you're not into a wild ride based on randomization, that's cool too. There are plenty of structured games kicking around the site. :)

In reply to Rogue Leader (msg # 5):

Trying to understand that's all and I'm sure others might be curious too. So yeah never seen a game without an actual GM on here.

Me either, that's why I want to try this one out.

One thing I think will be necessary is everyone agree to the "rules of improv". Especially the first one: "Yes, AND" or the contrapositive: Never negate.

Absolutely, without question.

I think we can do this. For now don't worry about what character you want to play, just provide interest and I'll add you generically until we've nailed down particulars together.
