Most people's first guess on how I came up with this game would be : "A bad trip on acid?" Well, no. Boredom. Gary was sitting around and drawing, I was watching over his shouldar being a complete and utter pest by pointing out his mistakes. Somehow this led to my starting to talk about Oddball and Mortimer and what would happen if they ever met his characters of Max Mythos and Greebly.
Oddball and Mortimer came from a TMNT game a few years ago and were adapted for a comic book story line, Oddball being my PC and Mortimer was the GM's NPC. Max Mythos and Greeby come from a comic book Gary did the art for a few years back. Who knows how I made the connection in my head..
This led to some mock gaming of the meeting of Max, Mort, Oddball and Greebly. It was mostly me GM'ing this game, so I decieded to add a bit of fun, somehow we got sidetracked to Gary's character of Slamorac, Dragon God of Fire.. Slamorac decieded the world was hooped, it needed to be purged and started over..
So, we nuked the world and started over..
As we were mocking out this game, more in storytelling format than actual gaming format, I started to wonder what the game would be like if I were to put some serious thought into it, get some serious players and run it. I thought about it for a while, and realized that I didn't know any gamers offline that I would really want to run this game for, but I could think of some online I would love to GM. So I sent them mail, and then posted a call on PBeM.com for players. I was very happy with the responses I got and started the game..
