Actually, I was originally planning to be Wonder Woman at one point... Diana, but it became unworkable because I was happy with Rogue and Jason C decided to join as Artemis being as successor to Diana as Wonder Woman.

I could modify my idea to a Golden Age setting.

Don't exactly like the Golden Age, also...

Due to me being on a short trip, I'll only be able to post on Sunday. Sorry! tongue

Is still privately hoping to get to pull Cap out of the ice at some point

Actually, there was a small part of me that pondered, rather than Cap, playing Howard Stark as the sort of...pre-Internet Voice with an Internet Connection. But that's still a ponderment of mine. Besides, the Golden Age is basically just like any age, except slightly goofier and with more Nazis. [lol]

Gangsters actually meant something in the Golden Age.

Okay, seems like most people aren't overly fond of a Golden Age spin off. Maybe a one-time thing instead? I dunno.

The only other possible spinoffs in my head are one in Keystone City, or maybe something in-

I really don't mind either way. The Golden age idea is awesome, and setting up in another city wold be cool as well, and space is always fun. I'm down with whatever.smile

Space makes more sense what with all the alien characters we already have.

Yeeeaaah, though I don't really want to go through too many aliens when I could put them to use in an invasion. Though I could set up the characters so that I could use them later.

I think I'll probably sleep on it. Quite literally, seeing as it's getting to be that time of night.

Admittedly, I don't have ANY idea about ANY specific space faring marvel characters outside of Rocket, the Brood, and actual Empires and races.

Hmm.

You know I have the entire Marvel Handbook laying around in my room somewhere. I should go get it and trawl through for anything interesting.

While an interesting idea, I think having a campaign set in the Golden Age would cause even more problems than having to keep track of two cities' worth of events. For one thing, sooner or later the Golden Age RP will most likely have something happen that contradicts something the Modern Age RP has already established, forcing retcons here and there. Also, like most other people here have already mentioned, there's more of a chance that we get things about that era wrong - less leeway to pull the 'this is an alternate universe' card, since we've already established that the Modern Age is mostly-unchanged, save for the public knowledge of past metaheroes and current-day mutants.

I still think that a farther city for a concurrent campaign is a better idea, really. Something like the Los Angeles area - far enough to keep events from bleeding into each other and causing good guy/bad guy gambit pileups (though stuff like news blurbs about the other city would probably be cool), and having a fairly-different culture from New York that different styles of storyline can be focused on.

[up]Great idea! Though not LA though, the superheroes the people THERE would like are only on their screens instead of actually running around. I still say San Francisco (Jump City) would be the better choice.

If I were to chose a city, it would be San Francisco. Barring that, Chicago or Los Angeles. Go down the list any further and we get Houston, and it's going to be a cold day in hell if H-Town gets any relevancy as a superhero setting.

Scarlet Spider not withstanding.

here's a idea... only an idea mind you. How about if the new city isn't in the US?

Mysty: What, that old thing? Those handbooks get outdated crazy fast.

Sano: A nice idea, but pick any one city outside the states, and how many superheroes can you name there? All London has is Captain Britain and some numpty called Beefeater.

Okay, so the Golden Age idea doesn't seem popular, the Space idea isn't getting much attention, and no one's paying the slightest bit of thought to Keystone City. I guess if everyone can think of a character that might fit in well over in San Fran, we may as well go with that.

Can I claim Starfire? She was a character I had been considering after Rogue (currently in this RP), Poison Ivy (can't exactly remove her from Gotham), and Wonder Woman (still can't use her because Jason C has Artemis)

I'd be more than happy to have Starfire in the game.

Agh, I had another idea for a spinoff, but I can't remember what it was...no, the future wouldn't work for the same reasons...hm...

That's fine. And I should probably have it be Jump City, California.

Okay, if this is gonna be the new spin off, it ought to be as distinct as possible from the original. As in, it should have a really different feel to it. I think calling it Jump City will make it more DC, as opposed to New York being more Marvel. Maybe since New York is more sciencey, Jump City could be more magic...y?

@GG, you could have Diana, she was still heroing when Artemis was being Wonder Woman. I think she might still have been in the League; I know Artemis wasn't because they wouldn't accept her.

And what's wrong with Metropolis? Is it too close to New York? I don't know where its supposed to be in Real World terms.

And if Jump City's more magicy... I could run The Corinthian there. smile

Had an idea. If we did do Space, we could do a version of Guardians of The Galaxy only with Marvel and DC characters

I was thinking of having it as a kind of Wagon Train to the Stars affair, with some nebulous antagonist force threatening the galaxy. Kind of like Green Lantern The Animated Series
