Necessary Evil

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I like how the powers modify... my experiment The Fractal Queen aka Liz Shelton is a 20 something  4th force controlling heiny kicker. Force control has mods for flight and force field and theyre fairly cheap, but still a point over my opening maximum when added up. Sure I could take FC at level 3 and take a few other powers... but why.

Liz just took her power as a device, her Fear Helmet (Fractal Energy Amplification Resonator) which forms light into solid holograms that can do some serious damage. My next power up I plan on spending a few points (3 actually to allow her to use her powers w/o the helmet) with the extra points left over I took a few super skills and viola. Instant Villian

multiple reviews give me more days of content. Just make sure you have something different to say, and I'll run them all.

Yay! As from thursday after next, i'll be running this campaign for my group

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

There might be a chance I can talk mine into playing it instead of M&M.

PDF and all that.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

you're already running a campaign. If you want to run all the campaigns, then youc an convince your group. If you want me to gm, you're playing M&M buddy.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Even if you got two free books out of it?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

if they're in electronic format, I'd accept them, and probably never get around to reading htem. I have something like 50 e-books on my computer. How many of them have I read? 0.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

I'd give you a print version from kinkos, like the one Ive got...
1 copy of NE and a copy of SW Revised....

its cheap if I do black and white anyways....

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, I'll accept it and read it hten. Aftwerward, I can tell you what system we'd use. It'd have to do a lot though, because I'd have to make up the stats. I already have 4 sessions worth of npc stats on hand for M&M, plus PLENTY of stock npcs that would fit right in for future adventures.

Mr. P's review is up.

I'm thinking about this, and I think my problem goes back to setting. I don't want a setting enforced on me and that seems to be the only unique thing about the game, really. And I can make that up for another system easy enough.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Thats a common problem in a lot of super hero games, and its easy enough to alter or add to this one. The only real railroading is that the characters are villains, and  even that doesn't have to be true. Remember how Pleasington said it came in two sections PG and GM guide... well just dont use the GM guide and run your own city if you want.

[Mr_Pleasington]

That's actually something I forgot to add...there will be the standard Pinnacle support for this.

That means a cheap PDF of the player's guide of the setting, which is all you need to run supers with SW, and a counter collection.

So you don't need to be railroaded by the setting.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

oddly I like the setting, which is more evocative than concrete,... the map of Star City is just cool looking.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

well, see, that's my point. I don't see what there is that will move me from a system I really like and already know very well.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

eh, I do, especially since its the same system as the other game we're playing... Keeps Karl from having to learn 20 different games...

Anyhow just wait till you see the Zeppelin
