Super Orphans for Hire

I had an idea for a setting and I'm hoping it might tickle a GM's fancy.

I thought of a setting where Meta-humans and the like are looked down upon, almost like plague victims, and while heroes exist they're more tolerated than loved.

After a war of sorts most of the setting city (or multiple cities) is destroyed and many kids are orphaned, however many Meta kids are ignored/harassed/worse, but a sympathetic benefactor sets up an orphanage just for Meta kids and people are all too happy to let him take them away.

The orphanage is a good home and the staff (mostly Metas themselves) are great, but their benefactor has a rather odd plan.  He's going to train as mercenaries any kid who is willing.

The characters would ideally be between 10-15 years old, and the missions they'd be sent on would cover all shades of the moral spectrum, from saving people from disasters to heisting high tech valuables.

Would anyone be interested in running this?

I have Mutants and Masterminds 2 and 3, though admittedly I have no experience in either, I also have Prowlers and Paragons which I've run before and found it to be very good.  If there's a different system you think would be better for it then I'm happy to try and get a hold of it.

Thank you for your consideration.

I have no experience with MnM, but this sounds awesome! I would love to be a part if a GM picked this up.

Interested, since this has the feel of X-men.

I also have M&M 2nd & 3rd, plus a few other 'supers' systems.

Hopefully we get a GM.

I second that. I keep checking here hoping a GM will pick this up.

Re: Super Orphans for Hire

I can take up this idea and gm a game but I don't know m&m. The only system I know that this might work on is Gurps with the super book. If you are interested in doing this in gurps, I will run it for you.

Re: Super Orphans for Hire

I've never used GURPS before, I'll have a look and see if I can get hold of it.  If I can then I'm happy to go with that.

There's a system I've used before called Prowlers & Paragons, it's a very rule light system that's quick to use.  It's currently on sale on drivethrurpg.com for £3.22 (Just look up Prowlers & Paragons Core Rules), the system is easy, you put dice into your powers, so for instance, 3d6 in super strength, then whenever you use super strength you roll 3d6.  Evens are successes, odds are failures.  Whoever has the most successes get's to say what happens.

Still, if that's not your thing I'll look into GURPS anyway.

Re: Super Orphans for Hire

I'd definitely go with MnM3E, and confirm builds with HeroLab.

Sadly, with my current time-commitments, I couldn't run this until October...  So, if you can find someone willing to run it before then, jump at the opportunity.

Re: Super Orphans for Hire

Oh boy folks. I'm looking to run a supers game. Two things though.

I'd either use the Savage World's system(would provide needed information) or homebrew. Setting works great though! So, I'll get the game link up soon!
