[QUOTE="anonystu, post: 793507, member: 10897"] That looks like a great idea. I have interest in playing, and also wanted to note that I was planning on starting my own M&M game. This is the ultra-thin explanation, but should hopefully get across some of the promise: The basic conceit is that of Bendis' "Powers", which follows the lives of two normal homicide detectives as they go around closing cases, except for that all the cases in their division, Powers, revolve around super-powered crime and murder. NYPD Powers: Corpses and Capes will revolve around two tightly linked groups of players. One group (a) will be a pair (maybe 3 or 4) of NYPD homicide detectives in the Powers division, investigating and solving crimes. The other group of players will include detectives/policemen/swat team members who used to be with the department a month ago, and were actually working with group (a) on a case, when an accident happened, and in the midst of horrible event X, they gained powers as a side effect. They were immediately catalogued, and thrown off the force, and out of a job. I think there's a whole lot of neat tightly linked roleplay to explore, with the relationships between characters, the investigations, the roles the other PC's will play in these investigations, and how all these people get on with their life in a world turned upside down. I'm not sure if I'm expressing this well enough, but it's a really interesting concept to me. [/QUOTE]
