[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5798604, member: 51930"] Cam: first, respect for coming and talking directly to fans. second: the game looks neat, and congrats on the license! Third: Will the dice be rolled individually, or do they add together somehow? M&M=D&D: While I don't agree with this, I do see where he's coming from in that it's a d20 game. It looks similar in many respects to D&D. Also, one can play a fantasy game with it (remember W&W? No? Well, they made it anyway and it was a great read). As well, if it weren't for how M&M took apart the d20 system, I wouldn't have understood 3e as well as I do. However, no Supers game can play like a D&D game if the characters don't collect treasure from opponents they can regularly use. The structure of gameplay (xp, treasure, levels, equipment) is fundamentally different: Spider-man lives for the thrill of being him and doing the right thing. He doesn't change as he goes on, he simply gets to go back to start and keep going. Maybe he gets to join the Avengers and use Tony's place, but that's not upping his "level". He doesn't get to be "more" spider-man, he's as much him as he's going to get. Which is weird, I guess. But that's okay. Maybe since M&M allows characters to improve with pp... but still, that only lasts so long before the characters go outside their own concepts. [/QUOTE]
