[QUOTE="Ulfgeir, post: 8942027, member: 7015719"] I had a campaign for Daring Comics rpg, where I got the idea in the early stages for the 2016 US-presidential election... The setting was that we had Miami, which was filled with gangs, drugrunners, organizied crime, racial tensions, and corrupt police. Think Miami Vice meets The Shield dialed up to 11, then lots of super-villains and add lots of extra darkness. A previous team of super-heroes had fallen apart. Some members of that team had been killed* The heroes worked as vigilantes, and lacked official backing from the goverment. Add to this that I had that Trump had won, and that he had been even more of a disaster than he actually turned out to be. If I recall correclty, the US had VERY strained relationships with other foreign powers at the time, so that's why things were as bad as they were in Miami with most other Super-heroes being elsewhere occupied. It was a fun idea in fiction. Reality turned out to be to close for comfort. That combined with the fact that the characters in a Supers-campaign are usually reactive mad e me feel nope, this campaign doesn't really work. [Spoiler] [I]A six-person team. The leader and his second-in command was corrupt.
