View Full Version : Cross-Platform (cross-RPG system) Super Hero Listserv?

Would people be interested in a listserv dedicated to super-heroes without regard to system that covers:
- campaign and character ideas
- anecdotes
- plot-sharing
- etc....
- comparisons of SOURCE books/materials

but NOT:
- rules how-tos
- comparisons of systems

Of course from time to time flame wars will erupt, but removing systems comparisons will help - I suppose it could be moderated but I don't like moderated lists. I'm willing to "own" such a list if people are interested, but expect a laissez-faire attitude from me. I know there's a newsgroup but the charter for that is a bit broader, and I know a lot of people don't use NGs anyway. I just think that given the variety of "cross-platform" ideas it might be a good neutral ground.

Technically speaking, this is news://rec.games.frp.super-heroes

It's also this forum at webRPG:

Hero discussion often dominates the newsgroup, and the WebRPG forum is little used, most of the people there just stick to the V&V forum.

I'm duplicating, of course, but never sure that all that many people read both boards, so - I might be wrong but I thought that rec.games.frp.super-heroes (which I do lurk on) was pretty much no-holds-barred in regard to topics of discussion (other than Hybrid of course!). I'd like to stay away from systems though the idea of allowing conversion/how to go back and forth material is tempting. Ultimately I'm not a fan though, I'd like to get away from the particularly contentious nature of the boards at times (though both HERO's and Green Ronin's really are almost never too bad) and a particular newsgroup, sticking to story/character/plots/GMing/etc. Please pile on the suggestions though!
