new campaign/world

[Brutal]

Some thoughts on this please

 

Im starting up a new campaign, based in the chicago area with a small (3 players or so), but tight group of 350pts players. The world it self is at modern time (after 9/11). The outlook of the world is rather dark, kind of gothic world. Filled with corrupt politicians where the scandals follow each other for the media to revel in and make money from. The crimes seem more savage than earlier.The police and various other "governmented" organizations gets less and less contributions. This makes the population put trust in superheroes and other "superheroic organizations" (such as until and primus for example).

The reason for this change is the rather familiar phrase "nothing is what it actually seems". Huge companies, mega cooperations and powerful villains control much more than the heroes might think.

 

Now on to the actual CAMPAIGN

As it is now, some of the "villains" are in my campaign are not actually EVIL in the sense that their minds is nothing but a dim, dark cloud of evilness . They rather have their own goals which does not always interfere with justice, allthough that usually seems to be the case .

 

Our dimension and its closest neighbours are connected through a series of items and portals. Various dark forces on earth, including ememies like demon, the crowns of crim and others (you get the idea) are of course after these items in their constant quest for power. The players will by accident (or purpose) gets transported between these dimensions/worlds as they seek to find the source of this end the rather dark age of their own world.

 

Im thinking and shaping this campaign still, and have a few ideas of what kind of dimenions Im including in the campaign. However I want to run this by you guys first to see if any of you have done/played similar things in your campaigns. And therefore if you have any suggestions of what to think about gladly take all ideas under consideration
