[ICONS] Long running games?

[ProtoClone]

Hi,
I recently picked up ICONS and was curious if there is a book to handle longer games and XP reward systems?

If not, has anyone played a long running game of ICONS?
How did you handle character creation?
Did you implement an xp reward system?
How did it go over with your players?
What would you have done differently?

My intentions are not to try a long running game at first but to do just a few one-offs. Give them a taste of the game by having them hunt down some well known, but low powered, comic book characters. Then, if they like it, see if they would be interested in trying a longer campaign style game.

I have not played a long running campaign, but I do intend to do so in another year or so when my 2nd-grade daughter has a little more interest in RPGs.

That said, check out the Yahoo Group - http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/icons-rpg/ - a somewhat active group email list that includes quite a few of the small third-party publishers and Steven Kenson, the creator. There are people there who have run campaigns.
