Pick the parts you like, de-emphasize the parts you don't. If someone wants to play a Red Wizard then I may turn up the presence of Thay in my game but otherwise you may never encounter one. Same with Marvel, Star Wras, trek, etc.<br /><br />Gold stars for all of us!Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-6306141379020172012011-09-10T12:31:20.612-05:002011-09-10T12:31:20.612-05:00The key to running a Marvel, DC or any other IP as...The key to running a Marvel, DC or any other IP as a RPG campaign is using what you like and not what you don't.<br /><br />For example, I don't say the Voyager series and characters don't exist when I run Star Trek but I don't really use them or refer to them either. You will see an Intrepid Class from time to time and your vessel probably has an Emergency Medical Hologram but I don't really involve the elements of that series that I didn't enjoy in any major way.<br /><br />Unless the particular 'Infinite Earth' we are using as a setting prohibits it for thematic reasons, a player who wants to create a character for my DC Universe game inspired by, say, Justice Leage Elite, is free to do so even if I (the GM) was not a big fan of that comic.<br /><br />When running Marvel (which I think I did once, looong ago but it may have been Champions set in the Marvel Universe), I try to come up with origins for characters that are not 'she's a mutant' about 3 to 1 over them being a mutant. Does that mean that in 'My Marvel Universe' there aren't a gigabillion mutants? Not necessarily. Maybe. I don't really bring it up.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-19231698298247320522011-09-10T12:28:02.283-05:002011-09-10T12:28:02.283-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.com
