You're not weird,man. The Avengers and JLA can't all be filled with flying bricks/artillery platforms. They need the stealth/infiltrators as well.

My GM ran the game in "A" DC universe, but not "THE" DC universe. Which, for me, is what interests me most about playing in a supers game. I don't want to play or even run games about established characters. Like...WHY? Most of the times where I've seen people run established characters, they...

That's great and all, but then you ignored the rules of character creation to do whatever you wanted. My friends and I played this when it first came out, both the basic (yellow) and the later version, with the blue box, and while the rules gave you the choice of picking your character origin...

LOL. I have a sealed box of DC HEROES 2nd Edition. I also still have my 3rd Edition books. And I still almost got caught up and backed that kickstarter.

I played MSH with the Ultimate Powers Handbook for a long time. My friends and I then found both DC HEROES (MEGS) and Champions in short order and was like "Oh snap!! We can actually CHOOSE our powersets?!?" LOL. But to answer your question, no. It did for the time before we knew what else was...

For me, to be considered a successful game, I need my supers game to have a fair amount of customization and to be somewhat crunchy. Rules light / Narrative games do not work for me especially with a high amount of GM Fiat and designers who just have a casual love and or affinity for the Supers...

RE: ALIENS - I agree with you whole heartedly. The theatrical cut of ALIENS is a lean, intense film and one of the best movie going experiences of my life. The Directors Cut messes up the pacing of the movie in a big way and while I appreciate the added information, it's information that we as...

Except that it DOES exist. They showed an original print earlier this year. Found in the UK, and they got permission from Lucasfilm to show it.

Aside from the 3D at the time (say what you want about the first movie story-wise, it was a visual feast and had probably the best 3D I've ever seen in any movie ever. And I say this as someone who is NOT a fan of 3D movies. Less about stuff jumping out at you and more about the amazing depth...

I'll just say this: I LOVE my hobbies. I support my TTRPG hobby as much as I can when I can. People put work into these products, wether you value the work or the result of the work it doesn't matter. People put time and effort into the final product and if you want to use that product and...

YUP. It's also why Christopher Nolan broke with Warner Bros and went to Universal. And first movie with Universal? WINS THE OSCAR for Best Director and Best Picture. I'm sure that somewhere there was a warner exec that was looking longingly into incoming traffic for a at least a week.

But they kinda DO demand it. The reasons why box office is down pretty much across the board is because during the pandemic the studios got impatient and even more greedy and decided to all but eliminate the window between theatrical exhibition and streaming. They effectively trained casual...

Supers is my favorite genre hands down. It's the one that I'm the most familiar with and I have the most knowledge of. I've supported every iteration of M&M and while I STILL like Champions better, it is a great system for supers. If this new version is going to be rules lite and less crunchy...

LOL. It's spelled "Haki" not "Hockey"

Also, more recently there's BONE TOMAHAWK, which is to put it mildly is a pretty brutal western/horror hybrid. Then there's DJANGO UNCHAINED which is really a story of a man becoming a better stronger version of himself while trying to rescue the love of his life. There's also THE HATEFUL...

SILVERADO (dir. Lawrence Kasdan 1985) Ragtag group of characters helping to transport a wagon train through dangerous territory. At some point before or during the trip someone makes off with the money box that contains the savings of every single person on the train. The PC's have to track...

Our Superman was a Brit, Our Batman was a Brit, our Spider-Man is a BRIT. All of these characters are very American. Peter is a kid from Forest Hills, Queens, for chrissakes. So an American behind the scenes, writing a character that they intimately know the lore for? I don't see the problem.
