Character creation in Superworld is a strange mix of die rolls (yes, you begin by rolling up a part of your character) and choices. I expect characters to be thought through and themed. Your character does not have to be perfect on all fronts -- weaknesses are not only allowed, they are expected.

Even though this isn't a PBEM, there will be a good part of communications carried out electronically. Therefore I'd like to set out a few guidelines so that things don't get lost in the shuffle.

UPDATE: Is anyone else besides me getting two copies of the notifications I'm sending out? And if you aren't receiving notifications, please make sure I've got a definite confirmation that you are playing and your preferred email address. Thanks!

Read the post on Defining Dark from the Voices. Not sure I've got it defined properly yet, but it applies here in some way, since this *is* Dark Supers.

"Entertain the GM and she will entertain you in return"

I view gaming as a collective experience. I am not doing all the work, but I don't expect you to do it all either. However, I also expect that I'm certainly going to be providing you with plots and hooks and working off the hooks you provide me in your character. And I expect that you will be reacting to stimuli and perhaps creating situations of your own as well.

In other words, we're writing this together. I'm the director, but I want the players to be an active part of the story. I am more than happy to shift plot to react to the characters.
