  1. Intro
     
    Welcome to my thread! I am currently looking for people to be involved in this wonderful project.
     
    The League Of Mildly Useful Gentlemen is planned to be a Commercial Project, it is early in development so I am looking for talented individuals to help make this game beautiful.
     
    Story-

    Spoiler
    You are The Undying, the Intro begins with you in a big press conference after becoming famous for being the only survivor of a Plane Crash.
     
    As you are getting asked questions by the press of how you managed to come out without a scratch, a violent earthquake shakes the building, and the walls collapse. In comes The Inventor, a member of Bad Guys Incorporated Trademark Copyright All Rights Reserved Creative Commons Associated shouting “Well! My Stealthy Entrance device didn’t really work out as planned!” Beside him, is Brogan and his Nunchucks of Fury. He bellows “ I AM BROGAN”, suddenly you are filled with thoughts of “Who the hell names someone Brogan?” but those thoughts alone distract you enough to take a Nunchuck to the face. “You’re coming with us!” The Inventor exclaims.
     
    But just as all hope is lost, a Half Naked Bald man with a moustache flies in through a broken window and smashes down in between the Bad Guys and you. The smell of whisky fills the air, he is blind drunk, “ Geeet orf, he come with ME” he stammers, drool dripping down his chin. Brogan prepares his Nunchucks of Fury, ready to strike, when a big green cabbage knocks his Nunchucks to the ground. An Indian Man in a cabbage suit runs in, cabbages wielded in each hand, “Looks like you haven’t had enough Vitamin C!”
    This is the first time you meet The Alcoholic, and Gary, the Cabbage throwing Indian. Both, members of the League of Mildly Useful Gentlemen. Just as the standoff reaches it’s climax, The Alcoholic grabs you and Gary, and flies off into the Summer Sky. The next thing you remember is waking up in the Stronghold of the League of Mildly Useful Gentlemen, where you meet The Leader.  
    And so your story begins…
     
    The World-
    The world you are in is a modern Cityscape, filled with people who have terrible Superpowers. You will meet various groups and organisations comprised of unique characters.

  5. I suppose I am late, but I would like to apply as a writer if there's room for another one! The project seems very interesting and unique, would be a pleasure to help!

    I am spanish writer with 2 novels published. Worked wirh short films scripts too. I am also a regular gamer and developing my own RPG project, so it's good for me to learn :)

    If there's is still time to join, pm me!

    You can PM me if you like what you see ;D 

    I love this type of humor, and mostly British (Monty Python) style :E

     
  7. I just want to say the script so far and the character descriptions are FANTASTIC! I love your sense of humor and will be keeping a close eye on this project!

    I would love to help out, but I'm kinda one of those 'Jack of all trades, master of none' people, so I would probably slow the production down..

    I guess you could say I'm... mildly useful.

    Why thank you kind sir.

    I will post updates on this thread when things are fully underway.

    Hey, being mildly useful is a very special skill. I can make almost 4 different flavours of pasta.
  9. Just wanted to say that I love your concept, and the awesomely amazing mildly useful super powers. :D
