Just going to pop in and say that I absolutely want to play a CoH campaign through the internet. I've still yet to try a tabletop session online at all.
An old D&Der mate of mine tried to start one up a number of years ago, but I was just too busy to commit (what with CoH filling that niche for me at the time).
I never tried any of the WoD or White Wolf at all (I was always curious to, but never fell in with anyone).
Honestly, most all of my playing was with the same core group of players and we all really shared the same style and it was something I never found elsewhere (until some of my RPing in SWG and CoH).
We were just fully in-character and we all loved to develop such rich and deep characters. It was wonderful.
Sadly, two of them being married (and two others being their siblings), they all moved 7 hours away. We see each other once or twice a year, but we don't even always play when we get together (so limited on time and it's just nice to visit).
Okay, what the bloody hell am I rambling on about? Oh, I guess I was giving a bit of role-playing and tabletop background for myself.
Well, you're doing a rather lousy job of it.
Right on... Agreed.
So, I mostly played AD&D 2nd Edition and never moved to later additions. We also played the old Marvel Super Heroes system (FASERIP). That is where I created Electric-Knight (based on a character I made up when I was a little kid, actually). And I was amazed how well I could make E-K in CoH! Never expected that!
Played a little of the Star Wars WE game
and played some of the Star Wars D20 system (which I actually liked).
Dabbled here and there in Call of Cthulhu, Palladium Heroes Unlimited and the DC system a few times as well.
The old Marvel system
definitely would work well to replicate CoH a little bit and it is such a simple system. Although, I'm sure the Palladium and Champions systems would work well too. It's just that the Marvel system seems so easy to just pick it up and GO for just about anyone.
Uh... I guess that's all from me for now...
