Hi all,
Fist time here so please excuse any noobish questions I may ask or responses I may give.
Over the coming weeks I intend to write my first Champions campaign (huzzah!!) and before I have even started I have hit a barrier!
I don't know when to set my campaign! In essence I am spoilt for choice, I can find positives and negatives for all of my potential scenarios.. I am however dabbling with the following ideas:
A 30's campaign leading into WWII - A rich period of history to delve into but I feel it would have to be more of a pulp/spy campaign and I feel my players would prefer to be full superheroes, though who could pass up beating up Nazi's!
A 50's campaign - Again, a rich period of history, the age of the ATOM, with the added advantage of all the B-movies produced in that time to 'borrow' ideas from, however my personal knowledge of the period is a little weak.
A modern-day campaign - The main positive for this would be that I can use the Champions Sourcebook for world information and this would be the easiest to write as my players would be contemporaries of Defender and crew. On the down-side I feel that modern-day life has far too many labour saving electronic devices making actual 'skills' redundant. (Who needs a team telepath when everyone has a mobile phone)
I must confess I am currently leaning towards the 50's setting (though this changes minute to minute), however, I would really value your input.
(I have seen so many great stories of campaigns and role-play that I am starting to suffer performance anxiety, lol)
