Modern Age Super Heroes play test setting ideas

I have been brainstorming some ideas for a setting for my Ubiquity Supers system (working tile Modern Age Super Heroes) play test on Tuesdays.

As discussed, this would be a near future, Earth setting. Here are some things I am thinking:


The year: 2050

Norther California, Southern California and Sub-Merica - submerged southwest coast of modern California. Enclosed domes and cluster of spires jutting from the Pacific Ocean. Connected to main land via air, boat and hyper tubes. Possibly do something similar with East Coast, Florida and Louisiana. Not sure if I want to do flooding or sunk into the ocean as the cause.

Luna City and Space Port - Established city and space port on the moon. Highly industrial.

Olympus Space Station - Permanent station acting as a hub for person, product and materials transport to Mars colony, Vulcan Ore Processing, Luna City and Earth. Jointly run by charter nations.

Space Centers located in North America, Europe and Asia.

Vulcan Ore Processing Station

Mars Colony and Phobos Space Port- Mining and hydroponic agriculture.

Space Force - International police and security for space ports, stations and colonies. Short range defense craft on stations. Modified conventional weaponry on colonies and space ports.

Great Wall of North America - Should we do this? Do not want to get too political.

Humanity is at a division point. Advances in technology have allowed for "improvements" and "enhancements" to the human form. Besides medical prosthesis and repair, structural implants have increased strength and durability of many of the populace. Corrective vision and hearing implants are common as are their cosmetic and convenience counterparts like implanted communications devices and bio security chips. Humans with multiple or extreme implants are commonly referred to as "Mods".

Despite the many advantages of these enhancements, there is a significant portion of the population that shuns these technologies, purposely keeping their bodies and souls "pure". This sect of humanity have adopted the title "True Human".

Any thoughts? Does this sound like the setting we had discussed?

As I said previously, I am likely a bit away from pulling the trigger on this. Likely looking to start in September. I want to test character creation, including gadgets, powers, spells, etc.  as well as the combat, streamlined equipment and world interaction stuff.

Tuesday night before Gen Con

Tuesday night before Gen Con, July 31st.

Who will be coming over?

I can run the new We Be Goblins adventure, but only if there are going to be at least 4 players there. Otherwise we can cancell the game.

So RSVP if you can make it.
