[QUOTE="The Grackle, post: 1758793, member: 23976"] If you can get the players to cooperate, it's better if they hang out both in and out of costume- like the X-Men. It might not be true to most comics, but it allows roleplaying between the characters that otherwise wouldn't happen, and it frees up the GM from having to run seperated characters constantly. Plus there's something really funny to me about superheros patrolling the city and complaining about their girlfriends. I can only imagine that superheros have to feel really, really isolated- even if they're famous and beloved by the populace. It only makes sense they would associate with other people like themselves. Another great thing to mess with players is publicity. Anytime they do something, it's going to get photographed and video taped- I mean, if you lived in Metropolis wouldn't you [I]always[/I] have a camera on you? One of my PCs is always seen as villain b/c he does so much property damage, and another one never gets publicity b/c his powers and costume aren't flashy enough. No one will ever believe he's a superhero unless someone vouches for him. "yes, officer, he's with us..." [/QUOTE]
