Hi! A mod can fix your tag if you ask nicely. (sometimes they even show up and do it pre-emptively.)
Secondly, this is like THE Game I Have Been Waiting For.
I’ve played d20 modern before, and this particular concept is perfect.
I’m thinking of a charismatic type investigator.
The problem is: I don’t use discord. Does that disqualify me? You talk about missing perhaps individual sessions above, but I won’t be able to use it at all.
Please can you let me know if I can still apply?
Fantastic! I'm happy for your enthusiasm!
Yes, absolutely, please apply!
EDIT: We are no longer using discord, per the RPG Crossing site rules.
Interested. I have the D20 Modern core book (and the Future book, for that matter), but I have not used them much.
I am thinking either a tough or strong hero class, with the adventurer occupations. This guy is an extreme sports enthusiast. Climbs mountains. Camps in the wilderness with little equipment for the fun of it. Is it possible that he witnessed something around the disappearance of the 9 that got him interested in this?
Can you confirm that the game will be held on this site? Advertising off-site games is banned here.
Yes, to be perfectly clear, the game will be on this site and not off-site. I didn't realize that voice chat is against the rules. I have edited that section of the advert. To explain, I had originally written the ad with placeholder information that was designed for a different forum site. Again, there is no discord.

We will be doing a "Mission Zero", which will serve as the in-RP session zero and the Agents' orientations to AEGIS, which is the "big good" organization. We will RP to establish the story / setting / characters. We are going to make some decisions at that time (and also in the OOC thread) about aspects like the Ops Center, the Qualities and Drawbacks that your character has, and their...let's call it, "alternative profession".
I know I'm being deliberately vague, but I want players to go into this game as blind as possible about the Conspiracy X setting. It makes the RP sections more fun, and leads to some interesting OOC reactions.
On a related note, I've finally found some sourcebook content for ConX! I read through the excellent info that has been made available on this site about Con X. It's basically a summary of some of the information from the sourcebook. This will help you establish some RP flavor for your character, but be forewarned: there are a lot of spoilers in here.

Awesome! Looking forward to it! I'm going to keep applications open for the next while as I plan the campaign and how it's going to go down. I have some excellent ideas about the urban legends we'll explore.

Ohhhh, definitely! There are quite a few paranormal creatures in ConX. You could say that he saw lights, saw objects moving on their own, saw strange creatures, found a strange relic, slipped and fell into a UFO, any number of things. That's a great set-up.
There are also technology people who, for example, might be surfing the deep web for information.
The d20M Future book may come in handy in the future, haha.

Ummm, I have both 1e and 2e, and I'm mostly the opposite of 'blind about the ConspiracyX setting'. I hope that does not rule me out, because I love the setting.

No, not at all! I can totally make that work. In fact, would you consider playing an investigator character?
I was just suggesting that going into the ConX setting blind makes things fun and interesting.
I'm thinking about a DEA field agent in their late forties. A Wisdom-based character, whose main tools are perception and self-control. Others usually consider him cold and distant, but that only describes him in professional situations. In private life, he's quite relaxed and fun.
AEGIS can easily assign him to any 'top secret task force', meaning he's actually doing AEGIS stuff while he's officially doing DEA stuff.
Since I have a lot of knowledge of the setting, I suppose Bertram might have had personal contact with extraterrestials (though he might not know it was them), and done some missions for AEGIS.
