Test driving ICONS Assembled Edition

I've had ICONS for a while now but sadly I've never actually played it, with the new Assembled Edition out recently I'm really keen to actually give it a go.

Would anyone be interested in getting a game up and running?  I'm thinking of a small team, say 3-4 heroes and start off with a one-shot adventure and we can see where we go from there.

Yes, I'd be interested in a test game. Random characters or point-buy?

I'm a big fan of random characters (absolutely loved rolling up Gamma World characters way back I the day) but I know a lot of players aren't so keen on the idea so I propose something like everyone rolls up 2 or 3 characters and they choose from one of those.

I've just got the Assembled rules, been ages since I've played any supers game. I'd be interested in playing if someone is running it.

Re: Test driving ICONS Assembled Edition

Are the new character gen rules that different from the original rules. would it be hard to roll a character up without the new book

I think the power tables have been "tweaked" slightly between versions so while the old rules won't create a broken character the balance will be different.  Have a read over the list of changes here:  http://stevekenson.com/2014/05...led-whats-different/
