    d20 Superheroes...suggestions for setting sourcebook?

    As I voted "Some combination of above", here's my thought... It should incorporate: Modern Grim and Gritty and some Humor

    Nah. Just a lighthearted jab at slavering fanboys. And I disagree, by the way, about it doing supers best.

    Sure he could have. He could have said, "Mutants and Masterminds is perfect for every genre of gaming for every gaming group on the planet." That would have been more wrong.

    Exactly. I've used point-buy exactly once. Decided it was the spawn of Surtr, and vowed to never do so, again. It's pretty safe to say that I have an undying loathing of point-buy.

    Works for me. I can't wait to see what I can steal from it for my B&V game.

    Depended on what level the stat or power was before raising it. Raising something from Feeble to Typical didn't take thousands of Karma, for instance, but raising something from Monstrous to Unearthly... well... Yeah. And I don't see anything wrong with that. ;)

    15-20 minutes is just about what it should take. Man... I thought my nephew was slow... takes him about 8 hours to create a character... In ANY system. But he goes through and runs a bunch of math in his head (he's a mathematical savant) to figure out the most advantageous path to take his...

    2 days? And there were errors? First time 3 of my players played Blood and Vigilance, they had their characters up and ready to play in less than half an hour with no errors. ... 2 DAYS??? :confused:

    Which RPGNow products would you like to buy at your FLGS?

    Blood and Vigilance, of course.

    Oh! Didn't mention my all time favorite non-D20 supers game... Marvel Super Heroes. It's all about the FASERIP, baby!

    It's Baize. And smug doesn't even begin to cover it.

    It sort of depends on what you want to do, and what system you want to use, and how much you want to purchase. If you want a bolt-on to base D20, I'd say to go with 4 Color to Fantasy. Advantage is that it pretty much bolts right on to your base D20 mechanics. Disadvantage is that it's a...

    *shrug* You win. I will only say for certain where MY money is going (and I'll warrant the same for the others, here, that they can only say for certain where THEIR money is going). EVERYthing else about future sales is conjecture. My hope is that D20 Super Heroes will spur sales of my...

    Looked boastful to me. And the janitor analogy was not disingenuous in the least. If I were in that position, I likely WOULD use it to my advantage. Perhaps you're using an obscure meaning for disingenuous, rather than "insincere". I was being completely sincere. Heh! If availability is any...

    :D If I had a really good selling product, I'm not saying I wouldn't grandstand. Nor did I say there was anything inherently wrong with grandstanding. But if someone's shouting on a corner, it's okay to recognize that they're shouting on the corner rather than softly whispering down the block...

    *shrug* We'll see. I know at least one sale they're getting that M&M didn't. ;) And I don't know any publishers that don't grandstand to a degree, so I call 'em as I see 'em. And it still looks that way. If for no other reason than those gamers who think that if it comes from WotC it's...

    Enh. Grandstanding. I'd be willing to bet D20 Super Heroes outsells pretty much any 3rd party product. There are just too many people who feel that if it comes from WotC that makes it "Official". I'm definitely not in that group, as I feel that what fits for your group is what is "Official"...

    I wouldn't want this to become another fiasco like what happened with the Star Frontiers site... where someone went and made a huge stink over them having the material available only to find out that they actually did have the requisite permissions... I wouldn't make any assumptions.

    Holy... !!!! You might have just become my new hero... for a minute. ;) Then of course, I look at my Blood and Vigilance characters. Seriously... is that actually legal? I mean... most of those books I already have (still) and a few others I had at one time and have since misplaced. If it's...

    Blood and Vigilance. The best D20 Modern Supers Genre product on the market, to date. I'll leave an open mind for the WotC book, but in my never humble opinion, the bar has been set for D20 Modern supers, and that bar is B&V. They'll have to really impress me to raise the bar. I have 4 Color...
