Campaign Construction

Who are the American Gods? ... The American Gods... aka. the Godlike... aka. the Survivors... aka. them freak-os... The players take on a role as one of 283 humans imbued with godlike powers in our modern world. This is a "what if" story of having been given great power in the real world setting of the modern day. The main protagonists are human first, and may or may not become heroes in the classic comic book ideal. The choice is theirs. They are Godlike. The flavor of the game is remenicent of the comic "Supreme Power", the tv show "the 4400", the RPG "Aberrant", and the movie "Unbreakable" among many others.
