I am interested to see what kind of campaign develops out of this.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-35415989185677886082014-07-10T03:04:03.471-04:002014-07-10T03:04:03.471-04:00"Witchblade and Darkness aren't Image, ar..."Witchblade and Darkness aren't Image, are they? I thought they were Top Cow or something." <br /><br />Yes, they are Top Cow, but since Image is the parent company and has (or had) several related studios, I typically use it as reference.<br /><br />The list was striking because none of us are hardcore comic fans, and you would think our references would be the most famous characters (I am surprised that Batman wasn't mentioned). Instead, we had an atypical list, but one that definitely pointed to a certain style. I am designing the campaing with that in mind, so it has been most useful.Miguel de Rojashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762364029464337239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-61313380905972785442014-07-09T21:11:29.577-04:002014-07-09T21:11:29.577-04:00"Meanwhile, you have TOS and Justice League. ..."Meanwhile, you have TOS and Justice League. You are a classicist :-)"<br /><br />I'm the most new school old schooler your likely to meet. Or the most old school new schooler. Doesn't it matter? You get the point.<br /><br />While I have a love of all things Trek (yes, even Star Trek V and Voyager, to a much lesser extent), I have almost not interest in any of the superhero references you just made. Except Constantine. I like him. I liked Wolverine at one time, but he became overused, overexposed and ever new character had to be another Wolverine. He was everywhere, everywhen, and can do anything. Bleh.<br /><br />Witchblade and Darkness aren't Image, are they? I thought they were Top Cow or something. Hate those two characters. They should trip over their stringy, ugly designs, choke on their angst and die. Just thinking about them makes me want to take another shower. They make me feel unclean.<br /><br />By the way, I think that's Top Cow's next big comic character. 'UNCLEAN! To fight dirty, you must be filth yourself! Debuts soon at San Diego Comic Con!<br /><br />"they didn't go for amazing, they know their market ;-)"<br /><br />Believe.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-91127821825834331662014-07-09T19:23:20.987-04:002014-07-09T19:23:20.987-04:00Your post about 5E seems to agree with the majorit...Your post about 5E seems to agree with the majority, everything there is OK, but nothing amazing. I'll add: they didn't go for amazing, they know their market ;-)<br /><br />Now, on this post, it astounds me how your aproaches are in the opposite end of the spectrum to mine within the same genres. Right now, I'm moving (temporarily) from a Star Trek game to a Mutants & Masterminds 3E:<br />- The Star Trek one is set around Cardassian space in the post-Dominion war era, with cardassian terrorists, orion slavers and klingon hardliners being the major threats (but we have temporal anomalies, centuries-old probes and psionic computers, too). Jurisdiction, Prime Directive and peacekeeping are important words.<br />- When I asked my players about the kind of superheros they wanted to play, I got the following references: V (for Vendetta), John Constantine, Witchblade and Darkness (both from Image), Takezo Kensei (from Heroes) and Wolverine.<br /><br />Meanwhile, you have TOS and Justice League.
