Grant Morrison’s World?

[BvBPL]

Okay, so HERO’s flagship game is based on comic books, so presumably many folks here have some passing familiarity with comic books. This makes it (and Barbelith) the perfect place to ask: How would you create and run an RPG setting similar to the comic book works of Grant Morrison? Is it conceivable within the RPG framework? If you could put together such a setting, would players even want to play it?

 

And just to set the ground rules, I’m not talking about the relatively down to Earth runs Morrison had on New X-Men, All-Star Superman, 52, and the like. I’m talking about the weird stuff. Doom Patrol, Filth, and, of course, The Invisibles.

 

For those unfamiliar with Morrison’s weird work you may be able to get the gist of it by imagining the Black Lodge storyline from Twin Peaks on acid and with kung fu.

I wrote an adventure like this for Haymaker back in the early days. Ask Bolo of Earth to dig it up for you.

Is it posable to do a campain like the Vertigo version of Doom Patrol or The Invisables? Yes it IS posable. Then again, anything is posable...just because it is posable dosen't mean you or your players are going to be good at it.

 

Dosen't mean you shouldent try, thoe.

I have the Invisibles on order at my comic shop. I've only read Grant's JLA stuff.

Unknown Armies was designed for weird adventures.
