Troupe Play in GURPS

One of my all time favorite articles from the Pyramid (vol.2? Online but not PDF) concerned doing this with a league of superheroes.

Each player has a superhero in their own town, but has characters who are sidekicks or allies to the other player's superheros. The only time everyone plays their most powerful character is when the league gets together with the fate of the world in the balance.

So you could play Batman, but when the adventure's happening in Metropolis, you play Jimmy Olsen -- you know that you're time to shine will come when the scene shifts over to Gotham.

I never have gotten a group on board with it though (I'm the only one in my group who likes making characters enough that I'd want to make 5 of them.)
