[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 928002, member: 8704"] A Marvel Super Heroes game where the storyline was the United Nations Hero Force. It was meant to be tongue in cheek but it got down right silly real quick. We picked a country and made up a super hero with random (and generally unrelated) powers, I was the Finnish Marauder, I had super speed, hyper tracking and my own pocket dimension. We also had the Ninja Assassin, Master of Disguise, Hitman for Hire, Senator from Hong Kong (with no super powers) and Vlad the super hero representing Transylvania (yes he was a vampire, of course he had random super powers), I think the Supreme Salmon was also there among others. It got real goofy real quick. We tried the Star Trek game years(decades) ago, we were all Klingons, our first mission, we wrecked the ship in the dry dock, mutinied against the captain (who was a PC the GM had personal issues with) and ran into Captain Kirk and the Enterprise (who we promptly ran away from), there was never a second mission. Recently we tried D20 modern but instead of coming up with a campaign idea we just made up some average guys and started winging it. We were all killed in a shootout in the second adventure, it's hard to call it a shootout because we were just average guys with no real weapons training. (A race car driver, a High School gym coach, a guy who owned a appliance repair shop, a guy who taught karate to kids, and a homeless crackhead). People were following us so some of the group decided to steal their van (not sure why) nevermind that the machine gun wielding special agents were in the van at the time. I think that was the worst campaign setting I've ever been in, no campaign setting at all. We had no reason for being there or even knowing each other, there was no actual plot at all, and we were just wondering around most of the time, till we got gunned down in the street. [/QUOTE]
