Yeeeeup. Superheroes.
So I want to run and/or play in a superheroes game. I've been wanting to for a very long time. However, that's about all I know. I'm pretty loose on the specifics. I'll list the stuff I know I want to have, and some things I would be open to suggestions on.
Things I want:
-Modern Age supes: This isn't a statement toward the actual time period of the game, but rather the tone. Modern Age has a lot of callbacks to the Silver Age, with heroes who are heroes and villains who are villains. However, unlike the Silver Age, Modern Age heroes are human, and have personalities and character development. Basically, I'm opposed to annoying amounts of darkness and mundanity. If I wanted a game full of angst, I would play Vampire or something.
-Modern/slightly future era: Well, yeah, I don't like trying to remember what was invented when. Besides, who doesn't want to theorize what kind of iPhone apps superheroes might use?
Things I'm open to suggestion on:
-The system: There's a LOT of superhero systems. The only one I'm comfortable running is Mutants&Masterminds (I grew up with d20), but if someone else ran, any system would be fine.
-The setting: other than the tech level of the 'norms', I'm pretty flexible on most setting details. What kind of superheroes are used, etc? All mutants? All psychics? Everything but the kitchen sink? Kitchen sinks? It's all good (though I admit, kitchen sinks would be tough). Also don't care if we're teens in an academy or seasoned super veterans or something in between.
-The power level: While I personally like the level of superhuman where it's not unusual for every team member to fly, pulp heroes are okay. As are the powerfullest of the powerful.
So, please post below any or all of the following:
-Are you interested in playing? Running? Drawing a comic based on the game? Watching and making OOC comments like it was MST3K? Other?
-Do you have a preference for some detail about the game (such as the stuff I talked about above, as examples)? Feel free to state a preference for something that I said I already had a preference for. Someone else may decide to run the game.
Yeah, 'sall I got. Let's hear some support for a great genre!
