Premise:
"Where Men Become Myth - and Myths Become Men"
"Gestalt" is Scott Bennie's unique world of superhuman archetypes.
Superhero comic books contain worlds of Archetypes, individuals who
represent important symbols. They are populated by characters who
represent concepts such as Heroism, Strength, Speed, Cleverness, The
Elements, Kindness, Cruelty, and Ambition. All fiction deals in
archetypes or symbols, but comic books apply them more consciously than
most fictional forms.
The Gestalt campaign takes the idea of "character as Archetype" one step
further. In this campaign world, Gestalt-Earth, the characters are the
symbols. A physically powerful superhero might not just be a strong guy
- he could be an embodiment of Strength. A Gestalt martial arts master
isn't just a superb fighter - he's also a human representation of his
chosen art. The master lives its philosophy at all times, getting into
situations where he demonstrates his art and its virtues, championing
those who follow the art, and using the art to advance his or her
personal fortunes. While characters in the Gestalt-Earth setting look
and act like superheroes, in many ways they fulfill the role of
mythological gods, becoming the champion of concepts and portfolios. The
player characters will be the founding members of Troubleshooters, Inc,
a group of free agents that travel globe, solving problems of a supers
related or supernatural nature. Detectives, bodyguards, and mercenaries
rolled into one.

Bradbury was right, the path to censorship isn't Orwellian doublespeak, its people complaining about being offended by every little thing.
