Star Trek and Star Wars could be considered in this regard but the most prominent culprit is surely superhero games based on one or both of 'The Big Two' (Marvel and DC Comics).<br /><br />For example, one of my players has no interest in playing in a DC Comics RPG if Superman exists in it because he can't help but think, "How is my character ever going to be cooler than Superman."<br /><br />My response is (mainly) that if you start with that attitude and mindset than yes, you're right, you'll never be as cool as Superman. If on the other hand you think of your character as a new hero in that universe whose exploits are unknown at the moment, well, the sky's the limit. Someday, maybe Superman will need your help.<br /><br />I run a lot of IP and licensed games and love doing so but I do pick and choose what works and what doesn't and in which universes.<br /><br />I have developed a Muppets RPG, a Smurfs RPG and I am currently working on...heheh...a Sci-Fi, animated, comedy series game that I hope people will be familiar with and enjoy.<br /><br />Great stuff Lowell. Can't wait for the next one.<br /><br />Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.com
