Sorry I am so late to the thread, I just joined the site. I have been roleplaying for (not to give away just how old i am-no woman would do that willingly LOL) 20+years off and on. I have been jonesing to play a supers game for a long time. I played GURPS (supers) WAY back in art school. and we played a very brief DC game last year, and it whetted my appetite for more. So I have been digging into various supers games. I Bought a few Champions books (Complete, powers, Millenium City and Gadgets and Gear {I pray those last two are compatible since i noticed they are not the same edition}) in order to figure out what i want to try (I'm sort of a game hoarder, so i buy books I may never use... not sure why, but i've always done it. Anyway, I wanted to add to the convo a little here, if that's okay.
That's a yawn-fest! And WAY too easy. Just be a blood hungry "vigilante" is sorta cliche at this point isn't. To me, that style would appeal to a younger audience, but i suppose older people may like that.
When I played in the DC I mentioned earlier, we were encouraged to give a very brief and on the vague side background. Most of the players were new to roleplaying (only the GM and I seasoned gamers). So it was easy on them. I love giving my character deep backgrounds, but with enough open-ended-ness to allow the GM to play with it, if he or she so chooses.
