GM wanted for system superhero game set in sexual aftermath

[TFcommando]

There's a superhero game concept I've wanted to play in for a while.  The broad idea is that all the PC heroes (and others, and maybe the world) were shaken by a world-changing crossover event of some sort, a perverted demon invasion or ancient, decadent sorceress trying to reshape the world to her liking are two possibilities.  Some mind control or corruption of everyone that was shaken off, the villain defeated and everything goes back to normal.  Maybe it was a trip to a strange alternate reality.  The X-Men's Inferno was one example, or something Wonder Woman's enemy Circe might do.  Chris Claremont provides plenty of other examples.

Except it doesn't.  The heroes (and world?) have broken taboos and can't take it back, can't forget what they did or go back to being exactly the same as they were before.  Seeds have been planted that will continue to grow.  It could just be the heroes and their peers, other heroes and villains both, getting more sexualized, displaying new kinks and fetishes... new costumes would be one obvious sign (Picture Raven wearing nothing but boots under that cloak!), along with just having more sex with more people in new ways.  Some might resist more, others might embrace it.

Or it's the whole world that's affected, becoming more openly kinky without most people realizing anything has changed or is amiss.  Poly and D/s might become more public, wedding laws might expand to people becoming willing sex slaves.  The heroes DO realize that things are changing, but they're as affected by it as anyone else.

Despite those changes, life goes on mostly as normal, heroes need to fight villains and stop disasters.

I'd like to do it with the Mutants and Masterminds 3rd edition system.  The Complications would help define and give some mechanical weight to what the heroes have been through.  I was thinking the PCs would be an established team who know each other well (allowing for old sexual tensions and relationships to come forth in new ways), a JLA or Avengers, or perhaps an X-Men.  But that's open too.  It's a big, sprawling idea open to discussion.

Ooh, this sounds awesome. 

My GMing docket is full, but I'd love to participate if someone decides to run it. 

[Callie Del Noire]

I’d love to play in that sort of game too

[TFcommando]

Great, two interested people so far! :)

It could work with canon characters or OCs, though it might be a little better with canon characters since what they were like before is well known and the contrast will be interesting (and not require a ton of specific canon knowledge!).

Just got to find a GM

Question is does ‘Wild GM’ got any ideas he wants to throw out?

[TFcommando]

I have a few more ideas to throw out in hopes a wild GM will appreciate them!  Backstory setups for the aftermath could include:

First is something lower-key.  The heroes were caught in a virtual reality trap or some sort of supernatural dream power, or a visit to a dream dimension where they had their inner most fantasies laid bare and lived them out.  (or WERE they their fantasies, leading to the question of are they like that inside or was it pushed on them?  No easy answers!) 

A reality warp, a huge spell or device changing the whole world to a more sexual place.  The heroes change it back (almost all the way to normal!) and are the only ones who consciously remember it (Possibly a few NPCs too) and what they did, so it still weighs heavily on them. 

A visit to a demonic or perverse dimension, a wild fantasy one or just a warped version of their own...

*DC's Earth-3 is where evil wins all the time and the Crime Syndicate JLA-analogue rules.  This would be an "Earth-XXX."  A twist there could their perverted versions switched worlds with them for a few months!  People on their own world would already be "used" to them being perverted as a result.

*Inspired by the Asgardian Wars arc in New Mutants and X-Men, the PCs are stuck in another dimension or world for a while, separated in both time and space, encountering situations very different than they would on Earth and having to adapt.  Someone might become a naked arena gladiator, concubine,  warlord, or say a Batgirl-type might become a tantric sorceress  as a slave-apprentice to a perverse master/mistress.  A fantasy-type world would have different moral standards and little of the modern civilized framework of laws that heroes usually operate in as well as much more relaxed dress codes.  A lost world along the lines of Savage Land or Skartaris would work well.  And while they may have been there for months or years, only a few hours passed in their normal world when they return to it.  Rogue's Savage Land look has inspired a lot of fan art.

Or the heroes bring back something back with them that starts 'tainting' reality in way matching the reality they came back from?

I like the idea of a hero becoming a sex mage.

[Muse]

  This is very exciting, Autocad, thank you.  :)

That's an excellent idea!  It could be an artifact of some sort that something useful, like preventing a demon invasion of Earth.  They'll just have to put up with the side effects, as they're better than the alternative. :)

It's an idea I've had floating around for a while... your typical non-powered costume vigilante is a genius and well-read in a huge variety of subjects.  And Batgirl in particular is a book nerd with a photographic memory... given the opportunity (or having it forced on her) she could pick up magic quite quickly.  Might even have to give up her martial arts skills as some sort of geas or sacrifice for power.

I've done a couple of M&M builds for the concept too.  One as an otherwise "normal" crimefighter with Ritualist and some Quickness for rituals that requires tantric sex, and the other a full sorceress type for the latter concept.

I was thinking someone transformed  by the sorceress on the other world.. but if you're interested in the idea, it is your idea.. so I'll consider something else.

I'm interested in a lot of ideas and would want to hear what Autocad's pitch is before deciding, so don't feel like I have dibs!

Well I was thinking something like the old comic Mantra.. guy changed into a woman and granted vast mystic powers.. but in this setting very tantric oriented..

[Callie Del Noire]

Think we scared him off?

I hope not, it'd break my mighty heart!

[Autocad]

I'm still here. Will get my ideas up tonight.

[Autocad]

Alright, so some background first. I'm relatively new to Mutants and Masterminds 3rd edition but I'm in a game elsewhere so I have at least read the rulebook and will be getting more experience with the system as we go. As for superheroes, I know the ones in the movies, but comic nerd stuff I don't know off the top of my head and I'll have to use google.

Since the ideas are all over the map right now, let's narrow it down to something manageable first.

Only heroes are perverted, or perverted world?

Canon or original characters?

[Callie Del Noire]

My take is the Heroes are a bit ahead of the curve but the 'change' is spreading..

and I'd like Original heroes... but I'm open to a mix. : d

I like that take.  They might be the only ones who are fully aware that things have changed, the rest of the population seeing nothing amiss as standards warp and taboos erode. 

Yet another example!  That could be because the heroes were at ground zero for whatever happened.   Say, a portal to Sexy Hell was torn open and there was a worldwide orgy of perversion as demons spilled from it.  The heroes managed to eventually close it (Maybe it took months!) and it was like it never occurred for anyone else (time travel reset button!)... but it's only 99% closed.  They remember what happened fully and that leak is slowly changing the population at large.

An all-canon team could be tricky given how tastes vary, so a mix of canon and OC would be the best (I certainly have idas for both!).  Perhaps it should be a canon team though, so the PCs have an existing framework and history to contrast with what's happening now.  It can be an original branch... there are plenty of X-groups and JLA or Avengers teams and sub teams.  Heck, even the Teen Titans have a few at once. 

Contradicting that, it might be an ad-hoc team of people thrown together by the big, changing event and now they have something in common that no one else knows about or understands... some might have been teammates on another team (and might still be!) while others didn't know each other that well. 


EDIT:

I have a lot of experience with the system and will gladly help anyone with character creation.  Also, there are a huge amount of character write-ups for all sorts of characters.  One is here.  There are a number of others on the Green Ronin forums, but those are down for software updates as I type this.

I’m leaning towards a gender bent character, twisted into a sex sorceress but I don’t know who to do...

I think I used to look at this guy’s stuff years ago in MM2e

Someone who would make an ironic woman, an ironic sorceress, or both? Green Arrow or Hawkeye?

Hmmm Maybe an adult Speedy? Or such?

Mystically seduced and body-swapped with/by a sorceress would fit for Roy.  Or he was swapped with Mia, the teenage girl Speedy.  Names have power and sharing them can cause problems!

Or changed to fit the holder of the name..
