I watched the movie "the incredibles" with the family today and had a couple ideas for some RPs that might be fun to try. The first is about superhero homelife and the second is a retirement home for the super-powered.

The first idea is rather serious and was basically taken right out of the incredibles, two superheroes fall in love, get married and decide they want a family, so they retire from the life and finally settle down in suburbia and get day-jobs, have a few kids and try to live a normal life despite the fact that both they and their kids have superpowers and they have to hide them from their friends and neighbors.

The second one more light-hearted and would hopefully end up being a comedic RP rather than a serious one and is exactly what it sounds like, all the super heroes and villains have gotten old and retired, in response to this the government has set up a retirement home for the super-powered. All the heroes and villains retained their powers but are older and are retired, living together in a retirement community built exclusively for them in Florida.

Do either of these ideas sound interesting to anyone? I thought they might be fun to try for a while and if they're good we keep going and if they get boring we let them die.

I personally would love to see a superhero vs villain retirement home roleplay. Like an all out elderly war but with a lot more devastating consequences.

That's sort of what I had in mind actually. The government builds a retirement home for superheroes and supervillains and then stuffs them all in there. Everyone still has their powers, just maybe less powerful or less reliable (for example cyclops from X-men is losing his eye-sight so his lasers are now more akin to really bright flashlights or spider-man has arthritis so his wall-crawling is either really slow or he gets stuck sometimes), and they all still have old grudges and habits so you might have Von Doom running around building evil robots out of kitchen appliances and unleashing them on the nursing staff or something.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking too. I'd love to see a roleplay like that. If you were to make that rp topic, I would definitely join.

So that's one vote for the super-powered retirement home. I was hoping for that, I liked that idea.
