M. Knight ShamalanÂ’s Supers World

This is just testing interest in the idea of a game based on M. Knight Shamalan’s Superhumans world. I have a general idea of a plot, but a lot would depend on the Characters. Also I have a few ideas about what system I would use, but again, I am open for suggestions. This would be a generally low power game, revolving around how the characters develop their powers, relationships, how they balance normal life and heroing etc...

Interested? Drop me a line here with a general idea of what system you would be interested in and more importantly what system(s) you absolutely will not entertain.

I would go freeform personally for something like this.

I’m actually heavily considering The Window, which is th closest to freeform I’m comfortable with.

I would go with FATE Core. Have the superpower be the character's High Concept.

Four Color FAE gives some good examples of building a super using an Aspect and Stunts.

Also, you could take a look at Venture City.

I'd be interested if it is anything but freeform.

Seems like a natural fit for GURPS Supers (3e) to me.

FATE is ok, but more complicated than I want. I am not a GURPs fan.

Just watched Glass this morning, sounds like a really cool idea. Would this be after the events of the movie?

Also I can work with the window or freeform, I have the fate core book, but haven't played the game yet so I might need some hand holding on that one.

Yes I’m planning on opening the game with Mr. Glass’s “embrace your gift” speech.
