OOC
All out-of-character discussions should go here.
And for our first topic, what do you think we should do about our reality? I could go either of two ways: a non-descript Marvel timeline where we play fast and loose with what's happened to our characters up to this point and slot them in as we see fit. Maybe you like Cyclops but don't want to play him as the guy who murdered Charles Xavier. Maybe you've always wanted to do something with a character who's currently dead. The whys and wherefores are less important here than what we do going forward.
The other option would be all the characters appear in an alternate timeline that we create as we go along. We're all strangers to this version of ourselves (kind of the like Exiles, if you've ever read that comic). We explore this strange new world together, and learn as we build. This would give us the opportunity to jump headfirst in the Motif Story Engine options and allow for alternate versions of the canon heroes (i.e. Spider-Gwen, Spider-Man 2099, Juggerduck) to be played without having to come up with complicated backstories. Boom, here we are.
Thoughts?
