[QUOTE="Knight Otu, post: 2586256, member: 192"] I don't think we are talking about metaplot just yet. We are trying to pin down the basics, which we will need. Sure, LEW did jump right in - but it has been suffering from some of those sins of doing so, as setting details were overlooked, for instance (and there have been thoughts on doing overarching storylines, but they never got very far). Since we are talking about a persistent world, sure, we will be using a LEW-style model. Let's take a deep breath. Maybe we should have a little brainstorm: [list] [*] At what point in known history should the first supers appear? [*] Should there be a relatively common origin, and what should be it? [*] How should the superheroes (PCs) be organized into teams? Is there one big organization for the heroes to join, or are there multiple? Use the LEW Tavern system (the DM posts, and players apply)? Or should a superior (equivalent to a tavern judge?) assign people into a team? [*] Should supervillains be allowed? If so, how do they organize? How are their actions managed, considering that the heroes will want to foil them? [*] What other problems do you foresee? [/list] [/QUOTE]
