Hate to be a bummer but a gryffon is not a bird.

Forum is old school, but as I've never done it, it sounds cool. Plus it negates aligning times, and lets me take more time in writing out events and y'all to react.

As for dice rolling, Fate has a free downloadable app. I'll try to set up the page and see if the app can be applied there. If not, we'll have to operate on trusting one another as we roll from our homes and report results.

Plot: based on my books, but in short, in 1877, an alien element exploded in Railroad City, MO. Many people acquired superhuman powers. There was a team of heroes, the Guild of Honor. Steam tech became more advanced.

1893...the Golden Age is long over. America is empire. The military subjugated the Rail. Superhumans are cannon fodder, on the run. One person, the owner of the periodical Second World, helped send young paranormals to safety around the world.

Now, he recruits those same refugees into an Aviary. Taking the name of birds, each character is now a Second World employee, travelling the globe, doing stories. But really, they search for evidence of past alien affairs on Earth. 

Indiana Jones, Victorian style, with minor superpowers.

William J. Jackson where would one download the Fate Accelerated ruleset?

I'll *try* understanding that I am old school and like face-to-face gaming.  What exactly do you have in mind?

Captain:

1. Sounds good.

2. Are you in?

I am not very into online gaming but what about setting up an RPG on a separate page just like this?  Individual and subgroups of characters could start threads in the Discussion Forum with "secret" communications being PMed to the GM.

Not sure how we play on here, but sounds cool if I xan make it work.

Capital! I shall begin planning a tale of superhumans hiding away somewhere in the world, circa the mid 1890's. Garner an idea of a person on the run from the Railroad City, Missouri (where the talents in humans formed) and I'll fill in the rest. Give the Fate Accelerated a download and read over (you can opt to download it for $0.00). 

Any questions, email me at andorian9@gmail.com. I'll set up a roll20.net spot for the game once I give it some background and a name, and a Discord link, once I find out how lol. 

A paranormal (racist term is Pinhead or Pin) is Legacy Universe speak for a superhuman. After 1884, the Rail is taken over by the military. Pins are killed, shipped off to parts unknown, or run away. You're the latter. I'm leaning towards the Aviary, a group of paranormals who take bird names and hunt for alien artifacts around the globe. Like Indiana Jones meets Justice Society meets War of the Worlds.
