[QUOTE="Templetroll, post: 2153719, member: 2201"] I ran a superhero game where the characters ended up back in WWII at a Navy base where an experiment in making a ship invisible (Philedelphia Experiement) was being attempted. They were able to stop the spies and saboteurs and then got caught up in the bad effect of the experiment. They were seperated at this time, all went to a scene and something happened that would normally cause them to react, having to do with saving someone or foiling a plot. One was an immient explosion at a research lab, a child in a graveyard leaving flowers and hands reach up from the grave, a Nazi scientist in an obviously WWII site working on a superweapon and a woman trying to buy drugs among others. In all but one case the hero interfered in the scene and caused the origin of another hero to have never occurred. When they came back to their 'own time' it was a grim time, with only one hero in the world. Funny thing was the guy who let the kid get grabbed by the animated mother's corpse was the one player who dispised the hero that kid became. the hero liked to do every action he possibly could every round the game was running. He was perfect for being the only hero around. The group realized what had occurred and had short origin stories - and saw what their lives would have been like without having been a hero. Part of the darkness of the current world was that the former Nazi, ex-super-villian member of the group never failed in his experiments and the Nazis won. The evil world government was the primary foe of that one hero. The guy who let the kid get grabbed by the corpse ended up a supervillian that had his back broken and was in an aqualung.... he was an acrobatic speedster so that was really bad. The woman with the drugs ended not able to be found in the current world - the ex-druggie martial artist realized it was because she had died. They set about recreating the odd occurance that sent them back in the first place and each concentrated on a different situation so they could undo the other hero's interference. They ended up finding out it was some villian's plan that had tried to undo their origins. They never got around to finding out it had been someone affected by the experiment that was the villian.
