Raising the flag [Mistborn RPG!]

[MilitiaJim]

Howdy all, I'm Stew, one of those lurkers from the Crafty board.  )No authority figure or anything, please don't blame Alex and company for any of my gaffes.)

Anyway, we started a thread (here) thinking about the various Allomantic powers.  In general, we're assuming that the game engine will be Spycraft 2.0, a d20 engine.  (The best if you ask me.)  I would like to invite everyone who likes tabletop RPGs down to chatter and help us theorize.  (Other potential game systems are welcome, I want this to rock.)

Should we discuss the Mistborn RPG here or at Crafty's Mistborn forum (http://www.crafty-games.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0)?

Thanks, looking forward to gaming with you guys!

'Why yes, it has been a string of exceedingly long work days for the who knows how long due to the Project That Shall Never Die. Why do you ask? If I hadn't been doing crap like this for the last...what year is it?...it would have taken me longer than the 10 minutes it did.


EDIT: Stupid typos! You weren't supposed to see any of that. What will my evil, robotic, and immensely slimy alien overlords do to me now that their secret is revealed? If only I had Allomancy!
