I want to run a super-hero game in the near future, but I'm having trouble selecting a few of the setting details.
Do I go with "supers are a new phenomenon", "supers have a history dating back to WWII", or "supers have been known for millennia, and were once worshipped as gods"?
Also, should I go with "one origin event" or "multiple origin events"?
The only thing I know for certain is that I want to keep supernatural elements - vampires, zombies, werewolves, angels, demons, genies, magic/sorcery, gypsy curses, etc. - out of the game completely. (And please, no comments about "superpowers and psionics might as well be magic". That might be true, but the feel and flavor comes off quite differently.)
I also need to find a name for the city to set the game in. I want a major American metropolitan area, but I don't know whether to use an existing city (ala New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago) or make one up (ala DC's Gotham, Coast City, Star City, Central City), or where to put it (Atlantic seaboard, Pacific coast, Gulf Coast, Midwest, or Flyover Country).
So, what do people think?
