There both an amazingly fun distraction for me that I have built great friendships over. I've been thinking of a few ways to combine these things for awhile. My first attempt was to make the Justice League of America into characters...which actually met with some interesting results. Now however I am thinking there might be a way to bring in some of the artifacts from the comic world into the campaign. A few Items I was thinking about were the Power Rings from all of the DC Lantern Corps. The unbreakable shield of Captain America! The Helmet of Dr. Fate. Additionaly lately I've been thinking specifically about the Infinity Gems and how they could be used to run an entire campaign based off of them. What I'm looking for is maybe some artifacts you'd like to see in the game? How would you have them work and what would you have them do? and do you have any suggestions about the idea of an Infinity Gem campaign?

It's an RPG designed for superhero games and it's fairly close D&D so it won't be hard to get into. And it's just one book, so not a major investment either. Can you explain the Infinity Gems? I'm not really into comics so I don't know offhand what they do.

I'm not really into comics so I don't know offhand what they do.  It's funny you mention that book because my friend happened to pick it up this year at Comi-con International on a Whim, we haven't gotten to paly it yet but we are hopeful it will be fun. The Inifiniti Gems are six gems that seperately are incredibly powerful and when combined can control the universe. Ther are: Soul, Power, Time, Space, Mind, Reality. Seperately they basically give you access to there namesake. Soul let's you control life force. Power gives you access to unlimited energy. Time let's you control and travel through time. Space lets you be anywhere, everywhere, or knowhere whenever you want. Mind basically makes you a psychic Reality literally lets you make your wishes into facts. All these gems are extremely powerful but also come with some sickening downsides (for example the soul gem is sentient and always hungry for souls...making it's bearer equally hungry.) Likewise they all have a few levels of mastery to them... So someone that picks up the time gem couldn't immedietly step back and forth trhough time without learning how to properly use it's power. I want them to be powerful artifacts without being overly powerful. I plan on having them switch sides from the party to the antagonists a few times as well.
