[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3407683, member: 53"] I played [I]Champions[/I] for about 10 years starting from its first release. It was the first decent RPG I was exposed to (with Superhero 2044 being the first, horrible, one). We used to dominate the game club attached to our game store on Saturdays. We usually had two or three games going in the afternoon and one going in the evening. My regular group even started a Fantasy Hero game just before 3E was released. IMO, the thing [I]Champions[/i] reproduces worst from the genre is difference in power levels. You just don't have very many effective games where both the Question and Superman can interact, at least without bending the feel of the character concept. However, that's a very difficult thing to do. I'm not sure if M&M does it, because I haven't had a chance to play (all the superhero fans in my group are scattered across the country). The original DC game didn't it reasonably well, the original Marvel game didn't. I think the best chance I've heard about is a rumor for a [url=http://www.glorantha.com][I]Heroquest[/I][/url] variation that's designed to handle several genres, including supers. [/QUOTE]
