i'm currently running a superheroes roleplay game using the marvel universe roleplaying game system. i've decided not to set the game in the official marvel universe though. it's just way too complex to fit in to (especially as i'm not really a massive comics geek), and much too focussed on the usa in general and new york in particular.
instead, i'm setting the game in london (uk), taking the events of our previous superheroes game as the starting point. that game, the adventures of the victoria street irregulars was run by rob using the original marvel superheroes rules. it established some elements of background which are proving quite useful, but leaves a lot of things open.
and that's the way i want it. what i'd like to do with this game is let the universe grow in response to things that the characters do and ideas the players come up with. i've been inspired to give this a go by reading ron edward's sorcerer and sword. we'll see how it goes.
the morny stannit is the number one newspaper covering local news and events in london. read about the latest exploits of london's superheroes here:
