[QUOTE="Benji, post: 7741680, member: 6793743"] It's this knock on effect of history that we really enjoyed getting into. One of the many things we covered involved this. A gorup of golden age war heroes who stopped the war early then decided to try and change things in the world, getting involved in lots of late 40's and early 50's global events. It went with differing degrees of success, virtually wiping korea off the face of the planet, but changing, what would become veitnam into a haven for supers persecuted by western regimes for communist leanings. This created a superpower called 'Slidietopia' that was more than a match for Cambodia years later but created a kind of guerilla war where supers who weren't supposed to be allow to fight by international legal agreement had to (on both sides, as china's agents too) pretend to not be fighting. This created more problems down the line, including a plotline that made Britain a communist power in the late 80's (Paul mcCartney was shot in the street) due to the fallout of this and other storylines. The heroes didn't always chanage things for the better, but they did change things. And I think that's what appeals about homebrew supers settings. These sound like great ideas, but what are they demonstrating? That homebrew ideas are cool? I will fully admit my experience with the game are ancedotal, I'd like to check if what you are talking about is the same. What do you mean by 'Usually?' 'Usually' most of my players would play in their own universe that isn't a version of anything at all. Yep. And I think there was a poll done by either wizards or this site that said most people make up there own worlds rather than worry about fantasy canon. So, it's the same concern. So...are you saying what you said about 'why buy a sourcebook when you can just watch wikipedia' doesn't apply to fanboys? These two sentences seem to be working against each other. Maybe I'm missing something? In the DVD example - you buy it because you are the collector you mentioned in the sentence before. I mean a DVD and a sourcebook aren't really equatable in my mind, but I see where you're coming from. [/QUOTE]
