Small Superhero Game

I would like to play a superhero game with one group of heros with less than 7 or so players. Maybe the small number of heroes plays into the story, maybe not. Any kind of story is fine though. I would just prefer not to be a street level game, more like a Justice League/Avengers type power level.

The system I'm most familiar with is Mutants and Masterminds 2nd edition, but I'm sure I could learn the 3rd edition.I have the Champions Complete book but have never played a game of it. I'm not really particular about the system either, as long as it's something I could get the rules for.

Any takers?

Re: Small Superhero Game

I would definitely be down to play if it's MnM 2nd or 3rd, I'm not familiar with Champions. Is it similar?

Re: Small Superhero Game

I'd be down for M&M 2nd. As for Champions, that would be HERO System, and it is similar in that it is a points-based, effects-based system, but it is a good bit more advanced. The two systems play differently, as well. M&M is a freewheeling, comic book style, like when you see Spider-man and Green Goblin fighting over half of New York. Champions is more tactical, and lends itself more to a grittier style of play. Both can be awesome fun, though, and I've yet to encounter a power I couldn't make in either system. Some (like the guy who pulled people bodily into the digital world, where their abilities were determined by their computer skill) were a true beast to cobble together, but on the whole...

Re: Small Superhero Game

Read the title and thought this was all about small super heros. A small group could be fun. Im down for mm2 and 3. Didn't like champions so much.

Re: Small Superhero Game

What age range were you figuring?

Teen hero/Teen titan like?
Adult hero/JLA like?
Older hero/JSA like?

Re: Small Superhero Game

I like it if everyone just plays whatever age they want and if that sends the range all over the place so be it, can be interesting that way. If it needs to be narrowed down then I'd say adult.

Re: Small Superhero Game

Is anyone running this?

I am familiar with but haven't ever run M&M 3e, but I've run a few other online supers games with other systems and I'd give it a shot if no one else wants to.

In reply to eggellis (msg # 10):

I am -- was the input question from the suggested GM? I thought it was just making conversation, sorry.

Also, I don't really have a good answer, I'm pretty flexible. I like to have some kind of 'real life' relationship or consequences mixed in somewhere rather than just all super-battles all the time, but that's about it.

Re: Small Superhero Game

Um yes, but it's subject to starting when the gm has time, so he's asking for input as to what people want to see.
