[GGG4] With Great Power (ne. Quantum Bums)

[phredd]

So, having finished up Quantum Bums, talk turned to what to play next. mtiru & jenskot were in favor of With Great Power, which is a super hero style game that does a good job laying on the melodrama all sixties Marvel style.

How does that sound folks?

[mtiru]

fuck 60s marvel.

i want late 80s dark-knight returns wretchedness.

we only have one and a half sessions (two if we do character creation beforehand) - so we might as well go for the end of the world doomsday situation.

[jenskot]

80s 80s 80s!

[phredd]

How about late 90s return from 80s violence wank back to good comics?

[jenskot]

2000s 2000s 2000s!

[Iskander]

Top Ten.

[mtiru]

Top Ten.

how can a british guy write americas best comics?

i think we should play John Constantine, except he's a Yank.

[jenskot]

I think we should play low level heroes who have to sacrifice their family needs to save the world and constantly struggle to hide their identities.

Or maybe we are all escapees from a mental institution for the criminally insane who were experimented on and now have super powers and are all delusional and don't realize what scum bags they used to be. But as part of their way of dealing with their internal psychosis, they strive to help human kind!

Or we could play as kid superheroes in junior high or high school!

Or ?

[phredd]

How about we wait to hear from Timmy & Bird-Poop about what they think of playing WGP before we go apeshit?

[Osk, MinionOfCthulhu]

Or ?

A group of alien juvenile delinquents, each with superhuman abilities, who’ve been surgically altered to appear human. You are all sentenced to a period on earth as a radial therapy and term of community service (think a tough love camp to teach you all self esteem). You are all being constantly monitored and will only be retrieved from earth after you have completed a certain amount of "Good Deeds" to prove you've all be rehabilitated and are fit to rejoin civilized intergalactic society.
