Wondering if there's any love for Kenson's "other" supers RPG, Icons?
The game I'd like to run would feature the player-characters as the premiere team of a city built upon the ashes of Gary, Indiana in the 1990's, shortly after the first supers appeared, and the first super-villain blew up the whole town. The man who designed and oversaw the construction of the new metropolis, Millennium City*, turned out to be as insane as he was brilliant (a fact only discovered well after the fact, unfortunately), and the place is a little… off.
The tone of the game would be strongly Silver Age, seasoned with Astro City dramatics and a touch of Grant Morrison uber-weirdness.
Why Icons? I like the simplicity of the system, but it retains some tactical considerations and a strong emphasis of thinking outside the box. Warning: You would be rolling random characters (you would be allowed to arrange your stat rolls as you please).
Any interest?
*Not the Champions setting
