IC: OSR Supers

I'm having some fun with Sentinels of Echo City, a B/X style supers game and was wondering if anyone else was up for some randomly rolled up characters?

If you don't have it (why don't you? It's only $5!) I can walk you through character creation (and, actually, that might be better given the campaign concept I have in mind).

The campaign idea is teenage supers (high school, ages 14-18) who all receive their powers and abilities through a common "white event."  This would happen in a world devoid of superpowers (but that would quickly change).  Certain powers/concepts would be off the table (re-rolled) due to the campaign model.

It's more or less Smallville (and I would want to emphasize equal parts drama and superheroics), and given the ages involved, make this a Mature game and only for reasons of language.  Whether you create a team or not will be up to the players.  There's a lot of latitude for players to keep their powers on the DL or to go public, though I think a secret ID would be a good idea, lest you get vivisected in Area 51....  All people with powers can detect one another as a general conceit of the game (just to make things more interesting).

Hmm, it definitely sounds intriguing. Randomly rolled up powers are always fun.

I'm new to this site but I like the concept. Count me as interested.

I'm just finishing the board, but you can submit a character now.  You'll start by submitting your normal HS student (no one has powers to start).
