Mutants and Masterminds - 2E

[The_Universe]

I don't really have a lot to say about this, but I was wondering when the new edition of the game was set to hit stores? I'm excited to see this great system streamlined...but I need to know when! Who can help me?

Also, feel free to discuss changes that you think will be beneficial (or to point out known changes you think will *not* be helpful) - I'm excited for this game, and I'd love to talk more about it!

Fantastic! Any chance of some early copies leaking out to the public at Gen Con?

Loving what I'm seeing so far, Steve. Good stuff!

I might still pick up 2nd ed but what I have seen does not make me overly happy

BUT I think that I am still going to get it to use for NON-Super stuff. Part of it is, some of the things I am not impressed with for a supers game (liner stats, some of the name changes, etc) I do like in non-super games SO I might use it for that. Of course I really like True20/Blue Rose for fantasy and such so...

Anyway

I like what I'm seeing so far, though some of the rules I am waiting to see how they shake out in play, such as the "leveled feats". We pretty much know HOW the game is going to look, we just don't know the content itself, and won't until September. Maybe if we're lucky they may have some surprise copies and Gencon, and someone can spoil the heck out of us?

Me, I just wish I had Spycraft 2.0 (from AEG) in time for September -- but my finances, combined with the lateness with which my local gamestores get product, means that I'm running the older version at an NC Gameday that month. I even considered running M&M for the same reason, but there's no hope of me getting that book in time.

Henry- I don't know if you've looked at the feats (Supervision) preview that was put up yesterday, but it has examples of Defensive Roll and Fearsome Presence, both ranked feats.

I like essentially all of the changes I've seen so far. The feats in the supervision preview look really well done. Fearlessness is just so cool.

My group got to playtest 2e, and I like it quite a bit. I can think of maybe one or two things I might house-rule, and that's it.
