Description:

I have been in PBEM for over 10 years, I started initially looking into
Superhero games, unfortunately I couldn't really find one that really
matched what I was looking for. Not only were the games few and far
between, but those that did exist either wanted to rip off of existing
comic book genre's (i.e. Marvel or DC) or they wanted to rip off of
superhero roleplaying games like Mutants and Masterminds. Some would have
stupid rules like 'if your character doesn't have super powers don't
bother' or 'X-Men Only Please.'

Now, I love comic books, but I'm not out to play Superman, Spider-man or
any of the X-men. I want to play my own characters. I don't dislike
Superhero Roleplaying games, but I'm not trying to re-create their worlds
either.

I'm also not looking for the Xaine show either. I'm looking for original,
enthusiastic, players and writers to create a world that experienced game
players like my self would want to participate in. A world where, powers
or no, a character can be invovled and be useful, a world where the good
guys are good, the bad guys are cool, and each player can bring something
new to the game.

Anybody interested?
