Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How would you run League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

I could run this is MSH without a hitch. Most of those characters are statted up already. Those that aren't I could do in literal minutes.

DC Heroes is a good choice as well.

   You might want to supplement it with the Companion for Victorian-era material and the Book of Powers for superheroic/supernatural PCs.

   Victorious by Troll Lord Games might be even closer to the original concept...

The BRP Gold book is so "completist" ... a good toolkit and tons of options, dials to set, etc.

Amazing Adventures does seem spot on.

The Vampire, p. 76f of Manual of Monsters.

Nemo, I'd make him a 15th level gadgeteer (submarine is massive and cool gadget).

Quattermain, the pugilist/raider multiclass, or from the Companion, either a gunslinger or soldier?

The Invisible man, a hooligan, probably, with gadgeteer multiclassed for the chemistry, or just hack the arcanist to be an alchemist type

Mr Hyde, arcanist like the I-man, probably with psionics though, activated from his weird past. Maybe feral in the mix.

Perhaps their society has the general aspect of The Guardians.

It's been a while since I read the comics and saw the film, but the basic premise is pretty cool. Everyone plays an extraordinary character based on (or inspired by) literature from about 100-150 years ago. It's all very steam punk, but also very much set in its era (not so much modern sensibilities nor mixed with D&D fantasy)

How would you run such a game?

Maybe Pulp Cthulhu.

Depending on my mood and players' rules preferences I'd suggest Victorious (Troll Lords C&C style), Pulp Cthulhu (if I didn't want it to feel DnDy), or Mercenaries, Spies, & Private Eyes (for a more light approach).

I would definitely use Amazing Adventures by TLG for this.

Or possibly Savage Worlds.

Both would be great for it.

Nevermind. I already posted in this thread... Lol...
The problem is not that power corrupts, but that the corruptible are irresistibly drawn to the pursuit of power. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.
