Interest Check - Mutants and Masterminds 3E

After a long time holding out due to my love of the second edition of M&M I've finally caved and got hold of the third.

I quite like what I see and am keen to try it out properly by running a game!

I've got two options in mind so wanted to see if there are any interested players for either:

1) A fairly 'classic' superhero game. Probably PL10 or thereabouts - characters are a newly minted superhero team foiling evildoers left, right and centre. I'd aim for a fairly light silver age feel and keep it pretty episodic with fairly short adventures, recurring villains and one or two overarching plots.

2) A pulp game set in the 1930s. This would be more PL7 or 8 and probably a fair bit more gritty. It would also be a bit more linear with a clear 'adventure' to go through but packed full of action and daring-do.

Any interest in one of those?

Hello, BaronsCourt! I'm very interested in either game you run. I have and enjoy M&M 3rd edition. I'm also very familiar with the rules so no problems there. Like you I started with M&M 2nd edition then moved on to 3rd later.

I'm interested in the first option. But, if the vote ends up being the second choice. Then I'm still game. I am also fairly familiar with the rules. So no problems with me as well.

Always up for Mutants and Masterminds! :) Both ideas sound plenty of fun.

You will have absolutely no problem getting people for either game I think. M&M is very popular. Both genre's are good.

Myself I would prefer the lower powered game. A PL 8 pulp game would be great: shades of 'Doc Savage!' coming out. The 1930s were a great time to RP in

Always seem to be looking for a MM3 game. I would love to play either idea.

I'm here for pulp.  What level of supernatural spoopies?

I'm new to RPOL and trying to get myself settled, but M&M has been my system of choice for a few years now.  I would love the opportunity to play in a game.

I'd give either of these a look. I'd probably favor 1 over 2, unless you plan to be fairly permissive with settings and characters - I like the sound of the overall campaign in 2 better, and the 30s are an interesting setting, but in my experience also a pretty restrictive one in terms of workable characters.

I would definitely prefer a non-contemporary setting such as Option #2...  :)

Wow - there's a lot of love for M&M!

Given the slight leaning of responses to a pulp style game I'll go for that. I'll set something up this week with the intention to be accepting players by the weekend.

Thanks all for the responses!

Glad to hear. A low PL pulp adventure sounds pretty amazing.
