AdamLeisemann Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 New times. Old heroes. This is basically a Champions comedy (maybe some serious parts too) about a Superteam coming back from their nursing homes to fight the good fight once again. Complications are normal for the genre, but also include some of the following possibilities: Arthritis for the speedster. The Brick getting cramps when he lifts something really heavy. Senility for the Mentalist. Among others. This is just an idea for a game for laughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBunraku Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Re: The Old Guard CpSpalding used to run a game at GenCon called "Forever Young" which was a bunch of second tier DC Golden Age heroes in the modern day. I got to play Captain Triumph and LOVED it! On another note, I've felt for a long time that the "old superhero" genre is the one that has yet to be fully explored, not just comically, but in a serious way. We've seen the plights of teen heroes and now married heroes, but the difficulties of being in your 70's and having super-powers has yet to be really addressed. This is no help to you at all, is it? Ah well.. Ed Stream of consciousness day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrix3 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Re: The Old Guard You could look at "The Adventures of Baron Muchausen" for some ideas. Besides being a lot of fun, it had some ideas for aging mythic heros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamLeisemann Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Re: The Old Guard I'll admit, it might be fun to see supers in their old age, or possibly just getting their superpowers after a long time of being normal. The idea of an old man whose found a cure for some elder's disease, and it provides som,e kind of superpowers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
