One Archetype Only Campaigns

[Supreme]

Has anyone ever tried to run a campaign where all the PCs were required to be bricks, or all martial artists, or all mentalists, etc.?

Once I did an all "mystic" campaign. Though obviously that archetype has a lot of options. It was the Mystic Masters' "the Earth's Arch Mage is missing and we need replacements" story line. Woked ok for a bit :)

Accidentaly did a all brick group (let them make characters and had everyone submit a brick...)

Ditto... but it was more of a "Mystic Origin" campaign. There was an Earth Elemental Brick, Several 'Casters', a knight with magical armor and a Wraith...

I guess the closest I've come to running a game like that was when I was ran a Super-Agents game, Agents against low-powered supervillains.

Awesome! It must have been like the first Avengers team (Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Giant Man, and Wasp (she has superhuman STR compared to her size when shrunk)).

True but those guys aren't all bricks. Hulk clearly is just a brick (And metamorph) but Thor for example can fly and alter weather. Far more versatile. Iron Man has huge amount of resources and is basicly an energy projector as well.

giant Man I see is a brick, but Wasp...Not really. More spy like.

But I am glad you had fun in your campaign and that's all that matters.

We played a game with all martial artists (Sons of the Phoenix), set mostly in San Francisco, which was excellent fun. To be fair, however "mystic martial arts" is pretty much a genre all to itself.

We've also played a fantasy game where all the characters were thieves: that was also an enormous amount of fun - although in that game, the mortlaity rate was pretty high....

cheers, Mark
