Question for people who know DC-verse well.
If Suicide Squad, including:
Deathstroke
Deadshot
Harlequin
King Shark
Bane
Riddler
Poison Ivy
will work in Dresden-verse as monster hunters, how successful they can be?
-
Were you wanting Monsters hunting Monsters? Either way, that's basically every DFRPG game. I think it would work well.
-
May be... Smt like From Dusk 'till Down. But considering power level of this "heroes", who is the strongest thing they can defeat?

It's also a bit difficult to judge their powers and abilities since they can shift from writer to writer, but I would say that as a group they are just as, if not more, capable than the group put together in Skin Game. I would say they could put up a good fight against almost anyone/anything baring Outsiders, the six Queens, and similarly powered people.
It would be fun playing a game where everyone was an anti-hero, I think it's a good idea.

I've never run a true villain game, but I've played games with a few villainous PCs who were part of the main group but had much different agendas with the end goal McGuffin. They ended up playing against each other in subtle ways. At the end of this particular campaign, the villainous PCs ended up getting their way through sheer trickery, a move that cost two PCs their lives. The thing is, the other PCs knew about the different agendas. They just weren't prepared for the Machiavellian scheming.

I've played a few 'evil' campaigns. They are fun. Although, we often had to 'skip town' or, otherwise, spent time breaking out of jail. Good times.
I don't really like playing games where the PC's have differing agendas - or at least, agendas that are opposing. It's fun to have a loyal but greedy/villainous group.
