hehehe I came up with the same idea. I love the superhero gerne almost
as much as the world of darkness and Shawdowrun. When I want to be
"Evil" nothing like playing (the Sabbat) a ruthless undead blood sucker.
But the same can be said for being a hero in the right (Champions,
Marvel heros) gerne. I play in wide range of games and gernes for this
reason. IMO it is rather silly to try and make a gaming system support
something it was not designed for.

This I agree with as I have done these types of runs and games. I don't
see a need for if you have more than a group of three people one of them
being the GM...
