[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7909181, member: 19675"] Best campaign I [I]ever[/I] ran was a Supers game (using HERO) set in the year 1900, basically as envisioned by H.G.Wells and Jules Verne (plus other era-appropriate fiction). Interesting things about it: 1) A villain using a modified Babbage engine to control his Archimedes Death Ray 2) An undead wizard from the Far East hoping to topple the imperialist nations and rule the world as emperor 3) Martians who react to opium like it was PCP The worst campaign was set in the same world, a decade+ later, using M&M as the system. (Different group of gamers.) Interesting things included: 1) Professor Cavor’s gentleman companion running a school named in his honor for young super humans in Torquay 2) A scientist who had discovered a way to grant animals human levels of intelligence. Onr of those animals, an Orangutan named Zeus, becoming so intelligent that he escaped and started making weapons based on the theories of Nicola Tesla. “Doctor” Zeus, as he called himself, was trying to overthrow humanity as rulers of the world. 3) “The Self-Breaking Machine”- a broken time machine kept in a vault that somehow broke itself after it was repaired (the time traveler who made it was raiding it for spare parts for his OTHER time machine.)
