d100 Gangs for cyberpunk or superheroes


 Got nice interest from players and some one asked me to run as a alternate game to DnD. I might run a ultimate's style version of the marvel universe and let them them pick a official character from comics. Have run 5 sessions now and has even cut into my blogging time. Had lots of new players which is always nice.
