Count me in, at least if it's GURPS 4e as I am not familiar with any of the other systems.

I'd also be interested in joining as a player for this, although I'm not familiar with the systems either. Still, one must learn sometime!

Now all we need is someone to run the game.

In reply to Tortuga (msg # 6):

I'd run this using Wild Talents, influenced by Morrison/Moore.

Go for it!

He didn't go for it, so I'm still looking for takers. BUMP BUMP BUMP

I'm only fully familiar with MnM3e out of the list, I've leafed GURPS, can't recall which edition, didn't quite like it and seemed to require a ridiculous amount of back & forth with the GM to do anything in combat. Way too much for pbp imho. Then again, they could've fixed it for what I know.

The theme does call me, if it's MnM, count me in as player.

I've actually run this very game a couple of times (once quite successfully, two other attempts crashed and burned). It hits me right where I live and sits right at the intersecting points of all the things I love to deal with as a GM.

So. I'm making a tentative offer to see if I can I make this work. However, I can't meet you on all your requirements.

Little Wrinkle:
Maximum of four players. And I'd be leaning toward three. When I play a real-life immersion game I don't kid around. And if I'm managing marital dynamics and inter-familial tensions and job politics, it works best with a small group.

Big Wrinkle:
System. This is a big one. I can't do any of the systems you mention. Either I don't know them well enough or dislike them. So if we're gonna do this thing, this is where we have to start.

Here's what I can do:

• Classic MSH. It's free and fun and simple enough, but it's going to offer power-levels probably grander in scope than we're looking for and it's really lousy for modelling anything on the 'normal' scale.
• White Wolf/oWoD. It's a bit of a Kludge, but it's easy and intuitive, it's good for dealing normal people and handling social assets and conflicts, and between all the various game systems, there's enough material to come up with rules for powers
• Something else. We could use one of the free rules-lite systems. The Window, Risus, or Fudge. Or something similar. Heroes Unlimited maybe (heh)?

Everything else you mention (gritty-real, street-level powers, transhuman, immesion in real life problems, world's first/only supers, GM-directed sandbox, meta-plot), I'm all over all of that.

Let me know if you'd like to proceed.

Would Fate work?

I'd be happy to run this, though I'm only familiar with M&M3e.

M&M 3e would be great.

I'd be interested in playing, I also like the MSH Classic rules as well.

Aberrant by White Wolf *is* a Superhero game using the same ruleset as WoD but tweaked for superpowers.

In reply to jerichodrumm (msg # 17):

It's true! I've never played it. But it's a decent enough idea.

Bump!

Count me out on any White Wolf stuff, never cared for that line.  I'm all about playing in the Classic Marvel system, though, and they DO offer templates for "normal" civilians.  Upgrades would likely be easy enough on a GM-designated point upgrade.

I could also navigate MnM3e as a player, but I'm honestly more familiar w/2nd ed. (I know, I know!).

I like the scenario's challenge and would love a shot at playing!

Okay. I know it's been a while, but I've started setting up the game. More details to be added in the next few days. Most of it is written already (the details), it all just needs to be prettified and posted.

Come by and have a look.

WARNING: At the moment this game is rated MATURE.

I read the original post and have to say I like a lot of what I saw. I'm currently looking to start a game (Supers being my prefered genre) and was thinking of a game using similar concepts. Now to be completly honest as a GM I can't guarantee I will be able to hit every aspect of your checklist, but I'm definitely willing to try and come close and negotiate the rest.

Go for it.

Here you go
