Greetings 
I'm planning to start a new supers game very soon (as in, as soon as I solicit a few opinions here). There's already about five people who are interested, and I haven't yet set an upper limit for players. Here are the details I've decided so far:
- Everyone starts as a 1st level normal human. Your 'origins' will be the first (or first few) adventures.
- Stats will be based on a low-powered point buy amount, though I haven't settled on the actual number yet. The reason for this is to emphasize the super powers.
What I need help deciding is the setting. There are two options:
1) A pulpy, fun campaign. Think Amazing Spiderman, with a little seriousness thrown in now and then. Right and wrong are more strictly defined. The heroes could have any kind of origin they like, and they can work alone or together as they like. It would be set in Windy City, an alternate version of Chicago.
2) A mutants campaign. X-book style, lots of conspiracy and fighting to survive. Right and wrong are mixed; everything is grey. All of the PCs have to be mutants in this option. You may or may not start together, but will more than likely end up together eventually. The setting in this case would be larger in scope, simply because issues like mutant persecution, revolution, etc. take place on a national and even international scale, though we could still be based in a specific city.
Okay, so that's that. Several people have expressed interest in the mutant option, and since everyone will have to be mutants along that route I'd like to hear opinion from all corners. I'll take more weight from those whom I'm already holding a spot for, of course, but anyone else who's interested should also comment.
