Well, I say new. What I mean is that this is the second time I will have attempted to run SW with the SPC rules, with the first ending... Not so well. Most of the player's were sporadic in their attendance and the game caved, so I never got into the game for long enough to gauge how well I was doing.

In short, I'm aiming for a pre-Phoenix Saga X Men feel for the game - most threats are actually fairly personal and close to home, some of them even more concerned with racial hatred or the impact of an X Man taking a cure for the mutant gene, etc. I will progress onward to having the players have a nemesis, but I'd like to begin with them doing... Well, heroic things. Helping with emergencies, stopping bank robberies by super criminals, that sort of deal. I figure if I start from the ground up and quiz the players on what they think would be a good direction to go in, I can work out how soon I should have them out of training and acting as a fully-fledged team.

I lurked for quite some time here and got a lot of good pointers, but now I need to ask directly - what kind of advice would you have for a game along these lines? If more detail is required, I'm willing to give it, but honestly the campaign' structure is pretty fluid right now.

Have the players write a Bio that includes friends and family and there history up to that point. Mine the bios for ways to blend the players background into the campaign
