Given this is inspired by The New Frontier is this set in the 1960s?

It would be really neat to set it in the Sixties but I think it's better to set it in the present. Not everyone has an idea of what life was like back then and not everyone is from America or even the Anglosphere so I don't want to needlessly put people at a disadvantage.

I'd prefer it, but I know I'm in the minority there. Maybe something to discuss later.

Fair enough. Was thinking it would be fun to play Batman in the 60's but I might still try a modern Batman.

Look, setting it in the 60's would be too tempting for me to say fuck the superheroes and apply for Lyndon Johnson, the real-life Lex Luthor/Maxwell Lord!.

I meant it when I said I wanted this to be your game as much as mine.

If most people want to set the game in the Sixties, we can set the game in the Sixties. It will mean that we'll have to give some people from outside of the States (which includes myself - though I'm an Americophile so I'll get by fine) some help here and there if they need it. Plus no bitching if people write themselves into a corner or something.

Tailgunner Joe was dead by '57, drank himself to death. Kelly would be George Wallace.

That's President Kelly to you, son. He's still the President, no matter what you think of him, and I'll be damned if I let some beatnik that hasn't shaved in two weeks demean the Office of the President.

Sixties enough for you sons of bitches?

If the majority wants this to be set in the Sixties, that's cool with me, even if I'm not familiar with the period (at all).

You need a little more denying of federal civil rights legislation because they impeded on the sovereign rights of the states to... deny people civil rights.

@Byrd Man Pls stop.

But yeah, I'll give some of the other people I tagged a chance to sound off before I make a decision on the Sixties thing. Ideally I want this game to still be alive in six months time and I think the best way to do that is by giving people a say in how it's actually run.

I'm up for either the sixties or modern day.

I just want to clarify that while setting the RP in the sixties could be fun, it's not something I necessarily want/need in order to play. I am perfectly okay with a modern era.

Just to clarify what I said before, I don't mind this being set in the sixties, but I'd prefer it being modern day. Either way, cool.

I think the 60s sets the RP aside from our typical DC / Marvel / Indie RPs we've dealt with before, though. It makes it more flavorful... unique... interesting. I'll see if I can get a hold of @Bounce anyway.

Most people seem ambivalent if not leaning towards a modern setting and I think on balance that it's better for the longevity of the game for it not to be reliant on a gimmick - no matter how cool that gimmick might be. Like I said, I'd like this game to last where others have not.

So the present it is.

Fair enough. Maybe it's something we can pursue if we don't totally give up on superhero RP's in the future? I'll get to work on Kal-El.

It appears I have been summoned.

And am interested.
