Superheroes I
The next superhero game I do will use Amber as a system, because it's simple, easy, and makes sense. PCs'd likely be a low build and I am tempted to try the whole "world of superhumans you have to police" method. It'd be fun, and dangerous.
Superheroes II
The other option would be to have PCs born/come into strange abilities, and run it more like "So, you can do things no one else can ... what do you do?" rather than the normal superhero-comics idea game. And, of course, have a larger threat exist for the PCs to have to defeat, perhaps the very source of their powers. In this idea, superhumans beside the pcs would be very rare, if they existed at all.
Continuum
Continuum is a simple system game designed to be played at any time and with no regard to narrative coherence or anything else. Should be quite interesting, to say nothing of insane.
I like 2 or continuum.
ReplyDeleteWell, Continuum is going to be (mostly) a random one-shots style game, run for SilverHorse. Will see how it goes :)
ReplyDeleteI did get another superheroish idea, one based on the PCs all being aliens, crashed on earth, and trying to fit in. Basically, in another galaxy a war ends, by someone (the "good" guys) causing the entire galaxy to go boom (something involving the black hole at the core of it, much like of ours). The "evil" aliens all have mind control tricks, and some of them end up on earth too ...
(It segued in my head into earth being like a resort for aliens who all come en masse and try and live here, but that idea (while funny) probably isn't as feasible :))
