Atomic Monster Theater

I’m going to start off my new blog by posting a little of what I’ve been working on in my free time between outlining new projects, fiction proposals, and freelance gigs. It’s the beginning of a superhero RPG, influenced strongly by games such as Dogs in the Vineyard.

I wanted to explore the idea that the players sit down and create a superteam collaboratively. Each mission, players choose one of the team’s heroes to play, and they might even play that same character from mission to mission, but the real development and growth comes in the team. Inspiration for this comes from the Justice League cartoons on the WB (now the CW) and, most recently, shows with ensemble role-driven casts like Leverage, Heroes, and Torchwood.
