[QUOTE="Henry, post: 2684699, member: 158"] Mutants and Masterminds PROS: --Plenty of supplements, both from Green Ronin and from other publishers using Superlink license. Supplements include full-length adventures, side-adventures, books of NPCs & supervillains, etc. --Very flexible system that uses a special saving throw instead of hit points to track damage. --Action is very fast compared to some other superhero systems. CONS: --Grittier hero games don't work well with the default system; you can toolbox it, but the feel just isn't "right" to me. Think Marvel and DC compared to Dark Horse & Vertigo. :) Four Color to Fantasy PROS: --Power point buy bolted on to existing d20 framework. Want Gnome Bards with Super strength and X-ray vision? This is your system. CONS: Inherently the system is still whatever the base is (modern, D&D, what have you). Combat is as fast or slow in that system as it usually is. Blood and Vigilance, DC Heroes, all those I can tell you nothing of as I do not own them. My group and I find Mutants and Masterminds the pinnacle of supers games for us to run, and have never had a need to look elsewhere, because there's never been a need it didn't fill for us in the superhero genre.
