New Rpg; A poll to consider

Why so serious?
So I was thinking of a new RPG and have discussed it with several members of the board. Heres a basic idea that will be changed continually.
-Since the biggenings of time man has experianced many a strange encounter with the paranormal. As time passed it became more and more apparent that Earth was a conduit for the paranormal, with the numbers of Demons, mutants, aliens and monsters increasing daily. In the 1950s, shortly after the second world war destroyed, through the horrors it had wrought, what ever barriers had held these forces from our world, The UN created the first Paranormal task force to deal with Paranormal events and First encounters of the first through fifth kind. Since then this Multinational orginisation has expanded to not only includ every member state of the United nations but also the hundreds of differnt dimensions, paranormal and extrateresstrial forces this force has encountered, with individual members being everything from friendly Demons and angles to giant alien creatures, spirits, Robots and practically anything else in existance. Today they now act as the only Police force for the paranormal, settling any despite with both diplomancy and (if neccessary) violent force.
....so yeah, its Hellboy meets FEAR.


So thoughts, Input, criticsm. A poll is up but I would like to hear your direct thoughts. Also Yes this will be a detective/ paranormal/ shoot-em-up RPG

Is it placed in the 50's? That'd be interesting, using WWII weapons and all.

Changing... hmm... I don't know. So is this like a Men in Black thinger?

I've already noticed the possible similarity to MIB, and I'm pretty much certain that that's not what ImmortalBlade intends. If it is, it's his RP, and he has the right to do what he wants.

There are too many of these sorts of things set in the 50's. It should probably be either modern or near-future.

Right, should have mentioned this takes place in the near future......
Only used the 1950s thing as a referance because thats when the modern paranormal craze started.

I object to Puma's resentment of demonic little girls. I think they can be a good plot device.

However, I strongly urge that you keep you identity away from Puma; I would not put it past him to murder you in your sleep if he sets his mind too it.

I think this paranormal task force should be hidden from the public, and that their investigations have not been publicly disclosed. It would really set a grimmer atmosphere if the government that organized that task force was kind of an authoritarian, Orwellian-style bureaucracy, and the people are constantly kept in the dark about everything that goes on. When they question odd occurrences that appear to be paranormal in origin, the government talks to them like they're 3-year-olds and tells them that it's just their imaginations.

Ok well figured out a name (with the help of Them) for the RPG
"The Beginning is the End"

Also heres a timeline for you

Quote:
 

June 30,1908-Tunguska event

28 June 1914 – 11 November 1918 - World War One, limited paranormal activities observed in trenchs, listed as shell shock.

???, 1927- Alleged raid on town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts. *Information on Innsmouth is deemed Classified by the "G.P.E." board of directors.* Hypothesis: Raid was followed shortly there after by the creation of "Delta Green", a believed government funded paranormal investigations team based in the United States that was quickly disbanded soon after creation. No further information could be found at this time.

September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945: World War Two. Paranormal cases increase exponetionally during this time period. The most famous of these being the "Foo Fighters". *Note: Foo Fighters currently have no classification. Though believed to be extraterrestrial in nature no actual evidence to what they are has ever been uncovered.

January 23, 1947- Unprecidented numbers of "Paranormal" creatures begin to flood to Earth. Scientists Hypothesize that Earth has become a litteral conduit to paranormal activities following the events of World War Two.

August 18, 1948: G.P.E. is founded

January 23, 1952- United Nations creates the P.I.A.T. to police all paranormal cases.

Feburary 15, 1965: G.P.E. buys the P.I.A.T. Rival companies establish their own paranormal police forces.

November 12, 1966, to December 1967- "Point Pleasent Incident" Occurs. *Note: There is absolutly no Information to what the Point Pleasent Incident was. G.P.E. has invested incredible amounts of money in investigating this incident, to no sucess.
Case officially listed as "Unsolvable"

1967-1985: Paranormal cases continue to increase.

26 April 1986: Chernobyl disaster *Note: Reported evidence of apparent "Mothman" Look alike "The Black Bird of Chernobyl " is unfounded. Any reported cases of any similar cases of "Mothman" type creatures is to immeditly be reported to commanding officer.

December 26, 1991- Collaspe of Soviet Union. Information on their cases of Paranormal encounters falls into custody of the UN and their affilates.

July 25, 1996: "Non-Humans" and "Metahumans" fully allowed into P.I.A.T. *Note cases of Non-humans and Metahumans joining the P.I.A.T. are well documented but never directly sanctioned by G.P.E. until this point.*

1997-May 23, 2018 (Present Day)- G.P.E. exists as one of the largest multinational corperation in history, with offices in every country. Operating out of Lester Pearson Military Complex on Baffin Island, Canada the P.I.A.T. is considered one of the most technologically advanced and effective privatly owned paranormal police forces on the planet. As is their moto, they stand on the forefront of any paranormal related incident, protecting the lives of every innocent affected by these incidents through the most advanced and professional police work on the planet.


So what do you think?

So do I. Does my character need to technically be a member of the squad? Or can I be someone who works in the organization but was dragged along by accident into a mission? I could be, I don't know, an intelligence officer or something.

You MUST be employeed with G.P.E. or the P.I.A.T. No magically being pulled out of nowhere and suddenly joining the group because we found you somewhere or something like that. However, what type of employement and for how long you have been employeed/ hired (etc) is totally up to you.
