The Call of the Heroes
Our last table-top roleplaying game session didn't go so well. We were faced with an epic battle which included bringing some previous characters from the same campaign back from retirement to participate in the grand melee. However, a few fatal mistakes were made and the results were catastrophic.
While the entire campaign arc lasted about 15 months, I think the end of the campaign very much matched the tone throughout. From day two, our avatars were completely in over their heads. We were guppies in the ocean among sharks. While we managed to make waves, it was always at the behest of other wizards behind curtains, family Dons, or good ol' fashioned "oh shit, did we just do what I think we did?"
After investing so much into this campaign, it was decided to start anew and revisit a different genre: super heroes! We're going to give Mutants and Masterminds a try. Unfortunately, all this talk of super heroes (with the new campaign, Dane getting back into comics, and the new season of Smallville), my interest in City of Heroes has been rekindled. I reactivated my account and spent a good portion of this weekend reacquainting myself with the game.
It promises to be fun!
