I will be DMing a superpower RPG, I won't be able to keep track of alot of players so let's say 5 or 6 at the most. First vote if you want to be heros, villians, or just trying to survive(will be explained no matter what you choose). Then I'll give out the app, the poll will run for 3 days. Hope some people join.

I'm not surprised that villain has the most votes, seems customary in this forum.

No one wants to survive either.

Which is, once again, customary.
After all this is the forum for dwarves, we make highly dangerous and unpractical things just for the hell of it, and if they are weapons(they usually are) they are just as likely, and indeed are proven successes when, they slaughter just as many or more dwarves than enemies.

Ooh, looks cool. Villain, so we have an excuse to be batshit insane for once in these RPGs.

[KaguroDraven]

Even as a hero you'd likely be killing and fighting alot of normal humans due to the backstory, hence the 'who cares, just survive' choice. Since so many people have voted already, I figured I would need to wait a day just to get two votes, I might as well give out the basic backstory. Supers began showing up roughly 80 to 100 years ago, through various means, technology, experiments, accidents, being born 'odd', etc. For a time they where a welcome addition to the world society, heros going out of their way to help others, villians being consitered just random psychopaths who happened to become Supers, and it was fine. But around thirty years ago the general populace, 'normals', began to take a more.....closed minded view of supers. Some just hated them for being freaks of nature, others began blameing everything from wars to burnt toast on them, and others began spouting that all supers are nuts, not just the villians, some just hide it better. At first these where just small groups, but over about a decade these groups grew monsterous in size, and many governments the world over began to arrest supers for their abilitys. Naturally many, even heros, didn't take this well and began fighting back. For three years the Super-Normal war raged accross the planet, the Normals won in the end due to sheer numbers mostly. Most supers are either killed immediately or taken and experimented on to find a way to harness their abilities for machines. A few supers live in hideing, others still try and help people, other still just do whatever they feel like, and some don't care either way and just don't want to die.

Who are these lurkers? You have 4 (5 now) people that posted in this thread but 13 people have voted.

Anyway. This game sounds cool. I may join when you set out the rules.

[KaguroDraven]

Eh I don't mind lurkers much, to be honest I'm a lurker on most forums I'm on, this is one of the few I actively post in. And don't worry, I'll tell the rules, and post the App once the three days are up, or if I get enough votes that I get too excited from seeing people interested to NOT start it.

[Fortis]

Wow, villains are winning by a landslide. Anyway, this looks interesting.

[KaguroDraven]

Aye they are, I might just start it soon anyway with the huge votes for Villians. I mean I kinda expected it, but I figured hey the forum might choose one of the other two possibilities.
This is totally not a completely shameless bump >.> <.<

[Caesar]

Villains for the win!

Some wise person (my mom) once told me that good persons often feel like playing bad guys'n gals.
Of course 'bad' people like doing that as well, so it doesn't really help.

[KaguroDraven]

You know what? If one of the choices gets to 20 I'll end the poll early.

[RAM]

Will this be using some form of written gaming system?

[KaguroDraven]

I mostly planned on doing it so that everyone gets at most 1 day to post their own characters action, weither for battle or in conversations, or just exploreing. In battle, which would be better if most people are on around the same time, turns are taken normally, I can link a dice roller, or if people think its more fair I can just roll the die to ensure players don't fudge the results. I won't be running this on any specific gameing system to be honest, I'm more of a improvisation kinda DM. I will try to keep things easy to remember though so it doesn't get too complicated.

[KaguroDraven]

this is totally not a shameless bump for votes.
