Sam, this is a corroboration yes but that's what I was trying to get at. The story is mine and yours and the aim is to work together to craft it. I said arc-determining villains are beyond the scope of [b] player-only [/b] creations because I have a few broad story points in mind and allowing every player to independently create major NPC villains might become problematic. If you have ideas about major villains you can certainly present your ideas to me about it and we can work together so that it can fit within the framework I have in mind, I'd have time to alter my ideas about whats next to accommodate us both. I'm always open to this kind of collaboration, I just don't think players creating their own Magneto or Ra's Al Ghul without any prior collaboration would work well for the RP.
