Let's find out what the interest level is.
The basic idea is a multi-era HU campaign, where the players will design era-appropriate PCs for each Era (if you have Rifter #5, there's a great article that'll help with this).
Now, for the truly bold among you, you'll want to create a heroic legacy through all the eras - a family passing on a mantle from generation to generation, or a sidekick learning from his master? Or maybe the hero in one genration is the descendant of a villain from a previous generation? Spend a lot of time on all these aspects.
Right now the basic outline/breakdown of each era is:
The Pulp Era - 1923.
Prohibition. Crime on the street. The Rise of Communism in the East, and a strange new political movement called "Fascism" is starting to gain a foothold in Europe?
Who are you? Strange men and women who are a cut above the average, but still human (no real superbeings). Among you may be:
-A dark avenger with a trenchcoat and fedora
-A rocketpack flying ace
-A WWI veteran bringing his war to the war on crime
-An explorer of strange new lands who is bringing the wonders of discovery to this time.
-A brilliant two-fisted scientist adventurer.
You will gather, as a informal club, to meet with the greatest challenges of your era, and find solutions to the problems of your time...or will you just make it worse?
The Golden Age - 1940
The world is on fire as the Nazis march across Europe like an invincible juggernaut. But in the West, the first generation of a new breed has arrived - mere mortals with the powers of gods - colorfully costumed and ready to fight evil and the Axis head on!
The Silver Age - 1961
Camelot! Communists! The Space Race! A new era has come - with new heroes and new challenges! For the first time, villains are not just criminal masterminds, aliens, Nazis, or mad scientists - no, now they have superpowers of their own, and this will be the greatest challenge of all for a new generation of heroes...
The Bronze Age: 1974
The Dark Age - Violent anti-heroes dispense rough justice on the streets and in the skies against corruption, cartels, and conspiracies that have blurred the black and white heroics of previous eras. The "heroes" of this era are tempered by tragic losses and a world where there are far too many shades of gray and not a lot of light left worth fighting for....and simplistic heroics aren't just hard to to - they seem foolish if not outright impossible.
The Modern Age: Today
The legacies of all these eras combined in the modern day! How this will shape up depends a great deal on you!
So there we go, Let me know if you're interested.
