Ah but there SHOULD be content. I'm all for resurrecting this again fully.
What IS it about this fic idea? It's SUCH a great idea and would be such fun. But we've twice now lost steam. Why is that? Maybe if we can figure that out, we can really get it moving again?
One thing that kind of makes it difficult for me to get my head around is timelines. Who's doing what? When? And what information do they know? It seems like such a small thing to get hung up on. But I have this need to "know where every piece is on the board before I consider my move" so to speak.
EDIT: Looking above, it might indeed be a good idea to stat things out with a game system.
I recommend Hero, since that's what I know very well. 5th or 6th edition is fine.
GURPS I could live with, but I just don't think it does supers well at all.
Mutants and Masterminds I've never played nor have any books etc, but I hear good things about.
A couple of years ago I would have suggested Silver Age Sentinals or BESM as a possible alternative. But what with Guardians of Order going out of business, it would make it hard to find the material. As it stands, Tri-stat is still a good system. Just becoming obscure.
Marvel? *cringes* only if you all think you really MUST...
