I realize I know spit about game design, but I always thought that it should be fairly easy to design a plan that accomidates both the rules-lite and rules-heavy fans. First, design a rules-lite system that encompasses all the basic salient points of RPGing (combat, skills, non-combat...

And probably had dice with her that were all the same color and a pen that matched (purple, I think). :p

How about organizing this way: ..Major Product (D&D, D20 Modern, Star Wars, Mutants and Masterminds, ect.) .....Specific genre or location (Eberron, Greyhawk....D20 Future, D20 Past, ect.) ........Character Types (I'm thinking three types: Adventure Classes, Creatures and Mundanes)...

Wait a minute...your doing new adventures in the V&V mold and using your brillant creations from V&V as well? Its' Christmas in June! With all seriousness the work you and Jack Herman did was inspirational. Those adventures still hold up today and are easily the best superhero adventures ever...

The rumor, more or less backup by Steve, is that many 1st ed. products will essentially end up in 2ed Core, 2ed FC and Mastermind Manual. We'll see once we get them into our grubby hands, though.

Are there any plans to do more indepth modern settings? Or at least rules for us to do so ourselves? [Puts on Karnak Hat] I'm guessing more info next week. [/Puts on Karnak Hat]

From everything I've heard, I'm even more convinced that M&M is on the way to becoming THE super-powered based RPG.

If he's following the M&M Damage Save Rule pretty much as written, then 15 + Damage Value of the attack should be correct. But only Mr. B knows for sure.

Hey, that makes perfect sense. Hell, I'm sold...buying my copy tomorrow!

One critisim of M&M's Damage System is that firearms generally break down to something like four damage levels (like +3 to +7), making guns too similar and kinda boring. Do you follow this methodology or did you do something different? Disclaimer: not saying you did something boring, just how...

Naturally, M&M would work. But, almost every comic book-based RPG has been designed with their own system. There has been three Marvel Systems (MSH, Saga, Stones) and two DC Systems (Mayfair's and West End's), all of which could have been done in other proven superhero systems (like Hero)...

Yeah, I relate to your insecurity about not knowing the system well enough. The worst moments for me are when a player realizes that I forgot something or mis-used a rule. The fact, though, is that no GM is perfect when it comes to any super-power RPG. There are just to many powers and rules...

A few things: The tank write-up in the book could be interupted as an "average" example from today. A WWII era tank might be a little weaker; where a main battle tank today might be a little bit stronger. I wouldn't recommend changing them much, though. And a +10 attack is nothing to sneeze...

Had a great time again at Gameday! Met a lot of great folks and hope to see/game with you again! Xath, thanks again for putting this thing together...you rock! Man October is a long way off!

Bumpage.

Its better to register for a game, but a number of people filled in empty spots from no-shows last time. We even had a few pick-up games started. You'll find a game, maybe not what your looking for, but something should be available. The more the merrier!

Well, Mr. J, since you've made yourself known, I'd like to pimp a few ideas based on my long experience GMing various incarnations of Trek :\ . Please forgive the slight (or not-so-slight) impudence ;) . Classes: I'd suggest making (insert government name here) Fleet-Based characters quite...

I kinda look at M&M as the grandchild of a few different super-powered RPGs. I like to think that it sort of honoring those previous systems (GR is a business so probably not; but hey, I can dream). I think that part of it's appeal is captured in the graphic layout of the books that remind me...

EDIT: dang you, HeapThaumaturgist for jumping before me! :D Forgive my ignorance...True20? Hey Dragonblade, don't mean to sound like I'm jumping on you, but I had some thoughts on your dislikes: Remember, the bad guys (or the opponents of the players if they are the bad guys) have hero...

As long as you follow 95 the whole way and take Route 1 South (towards DC; signs should say College Park) you can't miss it. Route 1 literally goes through Univ. of MD.
