My idea sort of expounds on this concept: What if I set out to make a campaign that plays this metaphor to the hilt, meaning that the characters may literally be superheores in their own right, with all the genre conventions that go along with it? (costumes, odd plot twists, constant character revivals, ect)    Just to increase accessibility, and to also reduce my base workload, I was planning on using a per-made setting, and then twist it to be what I was looking for. To me Ebberron seemed the logical choice, since it a) Is new, meaning there is little cruft to get in the way, b) It's relatively cosmopolitan, so that it fits the genre better than most c) I already have all three hardcovers, and d) it's been designed for the 3rd D&D, so that it fits the system very tightly.Here's my base pitch. Note that I also cribbed some elements from Bubblegum Crisis (which is a a very superheroic anime to being with):Any comments or suggestions? Anybody out there tried anything similar and have any advice on the subject?Ray</blockquote>
