1The [[http://forums.superherohype.com/forumdisplay.php?f=353/ Superhero!Hype RPGs]] board is a place where fans of various different companies come together to play [=RPGs=] by post in relative harmony. Players apply for characters and come up with their own plots, but are encouraged to interact with the other players on the board. Recently this has been followed through with a number of [[ApocalypseHow Apocalypse]] / [[TakeOverTheWorld World Domination]] / [[SuperRegistrationAct Registration Act]] arcs, to varying degrees of success.

3Unlike boards such as Roleplay/DCNation, the Basement (so identified because the [=RPGs=] are at the bottom of the boards...[[BasementDweller no other reason]]...) has a number of [=RPGs=] to play on from both DC and Marvel, as well as other continuites based upon the player's own universe. Each RPG is split into different seasons, which last more than a year in real time.
