Message: <blockquote data-quote="A.K.A. Dragonfly" data-source="post: 5824171" data-attributes="member: 6689724">Howdy folks, I'm a longtime roleplayer with a preference for superher rpgs.  I've played just about every major superhero rpg out there, including the various Marvel rpgs, the various DC Heroes games (my favorite being Mayfair's MEGS-powered masterpiece), Heroes Unlimited, and many others, but my game of choice for more than 20 years was Champions.  I then switched to M&M for about seven years, but switched back to Champions after Gary Gygax died, and sentimentality brought me back to games of my youth. Since then, however, I've been drawn to more rules lite systems.  I sampled everything out there, and just about settled on BASH UE by Basic Action Games.  BASH UE is just about my favorite system, for many reasons, but this thread is actually dedicated to a little system that I like about as much, but seems woefully under appreciated. That's Simon Washbourne's SUPERS!. It's more rules lite even than BASH UE, but has an ease of play, versitility, and power that is quite commendable, and makes it perfect for certain groups that I play with.  The lack of awareness of this games means that I have few people to discuss it with, which bums me out to no end. I'm starting this thread, then, to spread the word and/or to draw out already existing fans of the system who might want to discuss it's merits, share house rules, post write-ups, etc. Toward that end, I'll try to get the ball rolling by posting some of my write-ups of famous Marvel Comics characters. I hope you enjoy them! I'll start with eight of the Avengers. Although the images don't reflect this, the character histories will reveal that these write-ups are inspired by the versions of the characters appearing in the animated series Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Enjoy! <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45079249@N06/6844411797/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/6844411797_3d5cedbc18_b.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45079249@N06/6844411797/" target="_blank">Marvel-AntMan</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/45079249@N06/" target="_blank">Eletarmion</a>, on Flickr</blockquote>
