The Second-Stringers [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Even Superheroes have Benchwarmers...
In the Second-Stringers, you'll be a superhero, but you won't be anything like Batman, or the Justice League, or the Avengers. Instead, you are playing second-rate, D-List heroes who most people have never heard of or don't take seriously. Your characters are a team of super-powered underdogs full of gusto and good intentions, trying to prove themselves in a city of far more competent superbeings.
This game takes its inspiration from The Tick, Mystery Men, Kick-Ass, Doom Patrol, The Inferior Five, and other properties that subvert the superhero genre in a comedic way. As such, the tone for this game is meant to be fairly humorous and light-hearted. Both heroes and villains may have exaggerated personalities or ridiculous alter egos, and super powers are likely to be very off-beat or questionable in their effectiveness.
The setting location is Century City - a modern day fusion of Metropolis and San Francisco with a splash of Gotham. This is where your characters will be living and fighting crime. More information about the city will be available in one of the game's threads.
