As discussed in this thread: https://www.rpgpub.com/threads/sentinels-of-the-southwest.4975/#post-197874
My time zone is Pacific Standard Time.
We're talking over what schedule could work: currently the best days for me are Monday, Tuesday, and Friday nights starting around 8 p.m. I have a job and a family so I would not expect sessions to run past midnight.
We have not chosen a system, but currently the most popular proposed games are DC Heroes and Golden Heroes.
We haven't started making up PCs yet (naturally, since the system hasn't been chosen), but ideally we'd have 4 to 6 PCs. "Sentinels of the Southwest" was just an off-the-cuff name I made up when we started talking about this in some other thread about superheroes, so there is no expectation that you would use it as a team name, although I might refer to the game as such just for ease of identification.
PCs should be created with some mode of transportation (flight powers, a jetpack, a Batmobile, superspeed, etc.) in mind as one scenario may unfold in the Mojave Desert, the next in downtown Phoenix, and another in the Malpaís of New Mexico.
The setting would be our own, although it's possible I will steal ideas from published material and file off the serial numbers.
It would be set in the here and now, but the tone would be Bronze Age and PCs are expected to be the good guys. They don't kill on purpose, they try to do the right thing, they wear brightly colored tights, etc. No gun-wielding murderers in long leather coats, please. And although it takes place today, any references to current events will be vague if they occur at all. Backstories are best kept brief so we can add to them or modify them as things unfold. I'd also like to use subplots as per DC Heroes so there's more to the PCs than just the fight of the week.
The main point of this thread is to see who is interested in playing and what game system is preferred. Additionally, I could use some suggestions for what free online gaming site/service would be good as I have none in mind after learning Zoom has a 40-minute meeting limit.
