My primary complaint is that the concept has already overdone and I doubt most GMs could keep the plots that extraordinary or intreasting enough to provide me with entertainment. At some point the GM would almost have to introduce the evil perfect counterparts of the player characters, which is not only predictable but extremely uninstreasting to me. I never said that super heroes do not have thrilling lives, I stated that playing the perfect D&D character would be unthrilling to me. Those are two different things entirely. Please understand that when you ask for opinions somebody will always disagree with the concept. I am apparently that person this time around. However playing as Batman and Superman in an RPG and easily beating up thugs would get boring real fast. Been there, done that. I personally do not believe that a higher encounter level will be that much more challenging since the characters have no real weak Stat/Ability to exploit. Regardless, as far as I am concerned it is more of a conceptual issue, so let's look at the initial concept:The basic concept is that the characters wake up without any coherent memories ... This has been done so many times on TV and in various RPG modules at one time or another that I am bored to tears with it. The concept no longer appeals to me and hence I would not have fun in a campaign like this. Someone else may greatly enjoy it since not everyone is like me. ...and find themselves to be superior physical specimens.I will say this is a refreashing twist on the much overused concept, I have to wonder if the PCs will all start naked. Joking aside, the PCs would either had to already be superior physical specimens which means they will quickly discover who they truely are since they should already stand out in society. This would end the mystery rather quickly and unsatisfying. The only other option that does not involve the inclusion of aliens, is that they were transformed somehow by magic/gods or come from another world. I do not really have an opinion on either possibility.If your players like the concept then run with it and enjoy.</blockquote>
