Checking an idea - Silver Age superhero RP with randomized powers

Argh. Kind of forgot that I'm attending a conference the rest of the week, and have a very busy weekend. Targeting next week for the OOC page to be completed and posted.

Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

I am most definitely interested. How do you feel about weather control? Not the "instant blizzard" variety, but with a time delay, depending on 1) how radical the change is from current conditions and 2) the size of the affected area.

I am working on the OOC page. I'll post the link here when I have it up. It might be a day or three yet.

GhostWalkers

What kind of enhancements and side effects were you thinking of?

Titans (Teen Titans/Young Justice style RP)

Do you expect the tone to be on the dark side of things?

How many people are you at now?

@BrokenWashing

Oh my gosh, I have no idea. :)

The Band of Fools - A Medieval Mercenary Company Roleplay

Since you're looking for feedback... this is purely to do with my personal taste, since it looks like you've put some good thought and good work into this. I prefer a goodly smattering of magic in my role-playing, and military take-orders stuff does not sound terribly appealing to me. I think it'll be a very good game, just not one I'd personally enjoy.

Okay, randomized super powers? Sounds pretty fun actually. Where would we be rolling for powers? Like Superpower Wiki is usually pretty good for that.

@Reflection

I have a slightly an altered version of the V&V tables.

Actually one of the biggest things that bug me about Superman is the fact that its pretty common knowledge in the DCU that he is an alien. Especially after the various invasions by other of his species (Brainiac, Zod, and Doomsday for example) as well as other aliens who have publicly identified him as a kryptonian.

The reason it bugs me is the lack of realism to it. The world knows he's an extra terrestrial, they even know his partially at fault for some of those invasions. Yet the majority worship him, while those who publicly state a mistrust of his alien nature (Luthor for example) are publicly ostracized. Marvel does it better; Take mutants for example, the majority of them caused no harm to the masses, they were simply different. Yet the masses feared and hated them for those differences. Its a more realistic, and sadly human, response.

You are mistaken. Clark Kent has the memeworthy honor of no one knowing he's superman and thus an alien. Superman however has had his origin sited in news reports. There is technically a difference.

@Dnafein

Sooo... yeah. :) The point here being that in this setting, Earth has no knowledge of sentient life existing elsewhere, and the revelation of the existence of such a being would be interesting, to say the least.

So... I am going to move forward with this game idea. It'll be after Thanksgiving (U.S. version) before I set up the OOC page. I also need to think through the specifics of the random power rolling, but that shouldn't be too difficult to work out. I will be using a homebrew setting for which I've written a lot of material over the years.

Stay tuned!
