And I remember flipping through the pages of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe thinking of all the possibilities. But so few superhero RPGs can deliver. Elaborate point buy systems are somehow uninspiring and the old roll and get this power seemed to always get me characters with flight and say... shark command. Really hoping for something simple yet diverse with Megaheroes.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12825186047641823613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-31678008576007722362018-03-17T14:27:30.891-04:002018-03-17T14:27:30.891-04:00Only time I played a Supers game was as an "o...Only time I played a Supers game was as an "off night" game for our 2/week 6+ hour AD&D games (damn I miss college+ years) It was MSH and it was actually a lot of fun even though I am 100% a Medieval-ish type S&S player type. I never got into future games like Traveller no matter how many great recommendations. However, this one I really liked because the DM was a Wild Cards fanatic and ran a campaign world using MSH rules but in the Wild Card universe. I then also ended up reading all the books in the 80s. This was well before GRRM became my most anticipated favorite author. I kinda miss those games now, or maybe it was the time ;) hehe.Dan Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102702053688009561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-45157214352354176012018-03-16T12:56:47.035-04:002018-03-16T12:56:47.035-04:00Interesting!

I love superhero RPGs: my favorites are the ones that model the narrative ideals of comic book-style supers, rather than the ones that try to model the "physics" of powers and such. That said, I've played countless hours of Champions, Marvel's FASERIP system, DC Universe, and even (gasp!) Heroes Unlimited! I remember having Villains & Vigilantes when I was too young to realize what having that meant; it's since disappeared :-(<br /><br />My current favorite is still Marvel Heroic RPG, but I'm interested in checking out the Valiant Universe RPG and the recently released Sentinel Comics RPG.neuronphaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987746524537690435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-32797563279770389862018-03-16T11:27:14.398-04:002018-03-16T11:27:14.398-04:00I'm somewhat interested from the design perspe...I'm somewhat interested from the design perspective, but I don't really enjoy playing in the genre.

I remember running a session of TSR's Marvel game where the characters were a Transformers-style (G1!) Dinobot, a speedster named Green Lightning (a Walmart soda brand), a weather controller named Doctor Thunder (ditto), and a guy who was a living magnet. They worked for the United Nations and the game took place in our home town of 22,000 people. It was over the top ridiculous and we had a blast! If there's one style of RPGs where you can really just cut loose, supers is it.

While I (very much) enjoyed the game I couldn't help but think, I want to play a superhero. Later TSR did come out with their Marvel RPG, we played and it was ok. Over the years my group has indulged me with trying out a bunch of other supers RPGs- V&V, Silver Age Sentinels, Champions, Mutants & Masterminds, and Icons. Some were better than others, some did somethings better than others, but none have been able to stick. I'd love to try MegaHeroes to see if it's the one.
