[QUOTE="Lord_Blacksteel, post: 8352165, member: 53082"] First up - M&M wasn't a "contemporary" of Aberrant when it launched in 1999 because it didn't come out until 2002. Brave New World was a contemporary with a fairly divergent setting history and a similar take in some ways but it never seemed to be as popular. Champions was winding down a bit from the BBB era but there had been 4th edition supplements like Dark Champions that explored a lot of this 90's territory. Aberrant was cool not so much for the rules (though that probably helped some veteran World of Darkness players make the jump) but because it had a specific setting with a story to tell - yep, metaplot- and that was a different take for a superhero game at least. I have the new Trinity Continuum rules but haven't read Aberrant yet so if the setting has been tuned up and we have a tighter set of rules this could be a really strong game now. [/QUOTE]
