M&M and True20 -- What should I buy?

[Jeff Wilder]

Thanks, everybody. I really appreciate your suggestions and advice.

FWIW, I went with what seemed to be the most common recommendations and ordered M&M2E, Instant Superheroes, and Freedom City. Assuming M&M is as popular for one-shots as I think it will be, I'll probably end up getting Ultimate Power, should it be reprinted. (And at that point I'll stop, lest my completist nature take over and cost me a fortune.)

I'm going to hold off on True20 for a while I think. I have several other games in various genres that will be good for one-shots (Shadowrun, D6 Adventure, D6 Space, D6 Fantasy, CoC D20, Noir), so I'm going to wait before adding more than one game (M&M) to the mix.

If you're into that kind of thing, UP IS still for sale as a pdf, for half the list price of the physical book.

Actually, I really dislike PDFs. Give me a book as a nicely-hyperlinked HTML document (instead of or in addition to PDF), and I'll buy it. If the formatting and hyperlinking is good enough, I'll pay full price for it, even. But PDF is just a stupid format for e-books, IMO.

So, anyway, I'll wait for Ultimate Power to be reprinted.
