Super hero game

I had two ideas for a superhero game.

First is reminiscent of the old Infinity Inc comic. The original Justice League is aging. You are the next generation, the sons and daughters of the original heroes.

Second idea is more along the lines of the Paragons setting. Supers have only appeared in the last ten years. The government rounds up those they find to use as soldiers, agents etc. Meanwhile, others who desire freedom are labeled as super powered criminals and terrorists.

Anyone interested in either idea?

Re: Super hero game

Either sounds like it could be fun. Would it be the actual Justice League or like a homebrew setting for the first one?

Re: Super hero game

I like the second idea, would we be playing as kids learning their powers or adults who know them. I would assume we could play as either for or against the Big Brother.

Do you have a system in mind?

Re: Super hero game

First one would be based on Justice League. Daughter of Superman, son of Wonder Woman, Daughter of Batman, etc.

There would also be room for original characters. Since I am not an expert on the DC setting, there may be some differences from official canon.

Re: Super hero game

For the second idea, you would probably be characters just coming into their power (not nessisarily kids).

Either working for, against or independent are all possible depending how things unfold during play.

Re: Super hero game

I do have a system in mind but it will be behind the scenes. I will handle the rules, you just handle the roleplaying.

Re: Super hero game

 Second idea would suit my style of play much more then working for the government so to speak.

 As to what kind of char, it would be an original idea i have. Still the Fearless DM would have to approve it first, as always.

Re: Super hero game

The latter option sounds a lot like "Brave New World" which, while a kind of crappy system, had some really good stuff so far as the setting and background.

Worth a look if you can find a copy.
