Cleretic posted:I'm trying to remember how City of Heroes handled some stuff like that. There was a massive disaster in one zone that was revealed to have been the cause of a really lovely attempt by a villain to pull a Scarlet Witch-style reality warp retcon, and a major villain group using psychics and time travel to deduce the things they have to do to take over the world, but I don't remember any civilian-level exploration of that kind of thing. I know it was there, I just don't remember it. I think I can actually answer this. All of the story arcs in City of Heroes were based around the idea that you were the main character, because MMO-style mission chain. The lower level stuff would involve your contact - usually a civilian or retired/low-powered metahuman - sending you to investigate stuff and then slowly piecing things together in the mission debriefing(s). I can't say there was really an in-depth exploration because it was centered entirely on you and/or your contact. More 'in this issue his SHOCKING SECRET is revealed... ANEW!' more than anything else, I suppose. The second part (major villain group using psychics and time travel) was basically the overarching plot for City of Villains. You get hints of weird stuff that Arachnos has their fingers in - setting up a literal army of psychics, time travel shenanigans that may have involved faking a mad scientist's death - which is all a leadup to the end level story arcs, but is mainly there just for setting fluff and to keep you interested in continuing to play more than anything else.

I don't have it handy, but I'm pretty sure they were The All-American and Slugger. Baseball-themed, but the villain of the day required them to build a time stop device shaped (and carried) like a football. They were in "The Nearness if You" special/mini, iirc

They could not be into it but respect the lifestyle. Don't wanna assume anything here.
