So I've heard about something called the "Mythic GM Emulator". Can it do supers games? How does it work? Can anyone give me an example of what kind of thing it might do creating a random superheroes adventure?

Isn't the word "Empty Hand" just a euphemism for martial arts? That's what "Karate" means... "Empty Hand". So I think that you can use it to grapple people w/o taking penalties- it makes more sense than a guy with a sword going around grappling people.

:eek: My Staff Wielding Barbarian/Cosmic Sorcerer thanks you!

I think that you may be interested in checking out BASH! Ultimate Edition. Power stunts is one of the things you can pull off, as well as "Team Up" actions ala the Fastball Special- which reward player creativity. It is a simple supers game that you play with 2d6, but does not "hand wave"...

Here: However, I probably should re-iterate it in the "Damage" part to crystal clear that rolling 2d6 is involved. I also need to post an example of play online to help people I think. And you also just helped me catch a mistake- on page 18, under Attacks where it says "Hand-to-Hand...

The irony is that now, the "new and improved" BASH is actually the original (I updated the game about 2 weeks after I started selling it on Rpgnow, adding the chase scene rules and calling the file "New and Improved" so people would know it was updated- so the very first original game was only...

Let's assume this character is in a 30pt campaign: Kung-Fu Socialite 21 Pts (12 stat, 9 powers) 9 Hero Points, 1 Hero Die Brawn 2 Agility 2 Mind 2 (12pts) x1 Soak, x3 Soak vs. Unarmed, x2 Defense, x4 Defense vs. Hand-to-Hand attacks, Tricky Defense, x3 Priority, Powers (9pts) Fleet...

Now, such a character will likely have a lower character point value- like 20-25 points- but that is ok. The system has a mechanic for dealing with this called "Hero Points"- the character who has the lower character point value gets more Hero points- and an animated series /teen heroes style...

I'll address this in parts: It does skills by "slots". Your Agility is the base # of "physical" skill slots, Mind is the base # of Mental skill slots. Your multiplier with each is also based on the stat- but doubling up 2 slots in one skill would increase your multiplier. You also get a...

I think the OP actually may have picked it up. Kinda wondering if it was what s/he wanted.

Basic Action Super Heroes: Ultimate Edition is now available as a Print + PDF bundle on the Indie Press Revolution website. $25 dollars gets you a printed book and pdf (essentially, we're throwing in the pdf for free with your printed copy). If your FLGS does orders with IPR, you may be able...

Well, I just checked and Basic Action Super Heroes: Ultimate Edition is now available as a Print + PDF bundle on the Indie Press Revolution website. $25 dollars gets you a printed book and pdf (essentially, we're throwing in the pdf for free with your printed copy). If your FLGS does orders...

Yes, me too! This will be the first time there is somebody I don't know running the game (the Venture Bros. one). I'm excited to check it out. Mine is the other one on the schedule.

Cool! The website has links to where the PDF is available. If you are interested in hardcopy, the shipment of books left the printer this morning, and is on its way to IPR's warehouse and a smaller shipment coming directly to me. If your FLGS does business with IPR, you should be able to...

Yeah, this is what I do as well.

Given a choice of only those two systems, I have to say M&M as it is far faster to run and play (and I've played both).

Sure. Why don't we also assume that they are part of the same team, being played by two different players in the same 40-point campaign. ________________________________________________________________ Patriotic Shield Leader 23 Pts (12 stats 11 powers) 17 Hero Points, 5 "Team" Hero...

Yes. BASH! Ultimate Edition. It is a fast-play simple supers game. It is a toolkit type system, but there are around 50 powers, not hundreds. You build a character with 20-60 points, not 250+. The core mechanic is roll 2d6 and multiply by stat/skill/power. This is usually a multiplier...

It is a terrible combo... For PCs. Only NPC bugbears can use an oversized weapon, just like only NPC kobolds have darkvision. PC kobolds were all shunned from their tribes for the deformity of having only normal vision.
