Interesting idea...

[thormagni]

So, I was bored yesterday. And I bought a new set of PDF rules from Battlefield Press called Open Core. I haven't read all the way through yet, but basically they combined the D20, Big Eyes Small Mouth/Silver Age Sentinels and Action open gaming content into one set of rules, using a 3d6 roll vs. target number as the primary mechanic. So far it looks like an interesting experiment. It sorta feels like D20 but with different abilities, skills and such, combined with Silver Age Sentinels.

Anyway, just throwing out a topic of conversation instead of working, which is what I should be doing.

That sounds interesting. Maybe we should do that for the next super hero game?

Well, superhero games are sort of my own special area of interest. Let's see, just off of the top of my head I have:

Champions (Editions 3, 3, 4 and 5)
Marvel Super Heroes (by TSR)
DC Heroes (Editions 1 and 3, from Mayfair)
Heroes Unlimited (Palladium)
Enforcers and Guardians RPG (both very small, obscure games)
Blood of Heroes (basically the same as DC Heroes third edition)
Champions: The New Millennium (using the Fuzion system)
Aberrant and Aberrant D20 (from White Wolf Games)
DC Universe (from West End Games)
Silver Age Sentinels, The Authority and SAS D20 (all from Guardians of Order and all basically the same game.)
Mutants and Masterminds (sorta a D20 game, but different enough to qualify as its own system, in my opinion)
The Marvel Universe RPG (a truly different and strangely unintuitive game from Marvel Comics itself)
Blood and Vigilance, Deeds not Words, Four Color to Fantasy and a few other D20 takes on superheroes in pdf.

What can I say, I'm a mark for a superhero game?

Evidently.

What I meant was, the next time we play your SAS (Silver Aberrant Sentinels).

That doesn't seem like much.

Naw, I'm a piker. Now if I had Villains and Vigilantes, then, then I would be a superhero game fan
