I personally am not looking for super hero play with D&D. There are plenty of fair to decent super hero rpgs available. My group plays mutants and masterminds from time to time and has an ok time with it. Wouldn't really want it in my D&D. If the core was like that it would probably be a no buy for me (unless it did super heroes better than M&M, then it could be used for the supers game we run every so often) and if those types of abilities were printed in splat, that would be a no-buy/banned at most of my games type of book (unless the game warranted the supers mechanics).Its not that I feel like those types of play are bad wrong, but rather that I feel they don't fit the feel of D&D to me. But then again that is the problem with D&D, is that its very many different things to very many different people. So as much as I hope that type of play is not supported, I secretly (until this moment where it is put to words) also hope that type of play is supported for those that like it. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean you cannot either. I am just spoiled by games material perfectly suited to the type of play I enjoy ATM. So I am a lot more willing to just come out and say I won't buy a thing if it doesn't suit me. Thats a great place for me and the market segment I represent to be in. Its not really me just trying to be mean, though sometimes I am sure I can come off that way.Its kind of like breaking up with a girl because she became terrible and then dating a different girl who caters to your every whim and really really wants to be with you. Then a few years later the girl you broke up with comes back around swearing she can change and it will be just like it used to be, only better. I am less likely to believe any word out of the returning girls mouth, I am less likely to compromise on most issues, and I don't really plan on leaving the nice girl ever. But there is a chance I will see them both simultaneously if the returning girl does everything right. (Please feel free to resex the analogy to your specific orientation, it still works fine).love,malkav</blockquote>
