DC Superheroes or a Marvel/DC Mash-Up?
Hi, I'm the other player Aerith was brainstorming with. :)
I wouldn't mind a sandbox setting, where the players establish in-game continuity as it's needed, rather than trying to work out every detail ahead of time.
I wouldn't mind just setting up a world like something out of Grant Morrison's Multiversity, where what we create is what's always been there. Maybe at some point we determine that there are other worlds with alternate canonicity (i.e. Earth One and Earth 616), but to us those aren't our worlds. That would give free reign to the players to play across publishing companies without reprisal, and we could set up our characters with only the backstory we want to bring in. Our internal canon would be set as we write it, and we could have a thread dedicated to that to avoid confusion. As an example, Player Two decides Batman is the protector of London rather than Gotham. Boom. Done. Someone decides Namor is the king of Atlantis. That's canon now. Want to play Aquaman? awesome, but Atlantis already has a king.
Tonally, we both agreed that we want the game to be more focused on hope and heroism rather than darkness and despair.
