Re: Unworkable Premises for a Campaign

 

Let's see, he has a bunch of ex-wives who kinda sorta get along with each other, and they all have superpowers?

:eek:

 

That sounds like the "Hunted" from H#ll.:D

 

If only he were a FLDS member...

A great one-shot premise that's hard to work into an ongoing campaign is to play a group of truly inept supervillains. Alternatively, there's this one:

The Ravagers of Justice, the worst superhero team ever. "Super heroes, or super schmucks? You decide!"

The concepts I came up with:

Mr. Superior, a supes type, only played with a maximum amount of patronizing condescension

El Diablo Blanco, hero of Harlem

Cosmopolazon (lots of bad stereotypes of women embodied here)

Warhawk(Iron Man + Hawkman--basically he uses his identity to promote weapon sales)

AlieAndroid(the one kinda decent person on the team, who of course is treated like crap by everyone else)

Straight Arrow (closeted homophobe)

RealAmerican (xenophobe)

Jupiter(arrogant , womanizing storm god, rival of Mr. Superior)

KingFish(arrogant aquatic hero)

FlashMob(duplicating speedster with mob connections)

MegaMILF(Power Girl + Ms. Marvel, minus any interest in being taken seriously)

BiWitch(Duplicating sorceress, bipolar and bisexual)

Ringbearer (anything but brave, tends to overthink things)

 

feel free to add to the list :eg:
