Re: [BNW] A true Super Hero team for BNW (Matt Fobeck)

[Chris DeKalb <cdkboston@earthlink.net>]

Actually I think there have been a lot of  "very strong evil" games of late, but
that's also becuase there are a lot of Horror games out there.  Both of the PEG
words and White Wolf  have their main game worlds in that genre.  Not to mention
new games such as All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and GURPS year of horror releases.

In horror games it's natural for the world to be a nasty place.  Otherwise the
horror wouldn't be as strong. (in my opinion that is...)

As far as BNW, there is a lot of leeway here.   The setting is very dark
politically, but there is a lot of hope as well (I was actually very surprised
by how strong the Defiance and it's related groups are).  And you'll notice on
my site that the groups there are very much "super hero" or "super villian"
teams.  Albeit the background tends to be either government or Mafia backed, but
it's pretty obvious about their themes.
Of course if you're playing a magic-heavy game (with lots of demons, Bargainers
and Vampires) then it's going to be a lot darker, but that's a choice of the
game master.

And also with the Golden Days supplement it shows how you can do very uplifting
"golden age" comics style hero-ism.  It would be very easy to take that into a
modern-day setting.

Anyways, those are my thoughts on the matter.
