[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9605099, member: 86653"] Wow. That's too bad. Superheroes is my absolute favorite genre. I love the over-the-top action, punching people through walls, being a big-damn-hero, going out of my way to save innocent bystanders, the soap opera drama of it all. It's fantastic. Great way to spend an evening. Though, I will say, system matters so much with superheroes. I wouldn't want to play anything crunchy with lots of math getting in the way. Too much of a hassle. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze at that point. For mine, it's any kind of romance and anything slice-of-life. If there's no action, no drama, there's no point. To the point where if we're even doing a bit of shopping in an otherwise action-adventure game, I'll write a list and hand it to the referee and volunteer to go get pizza or something just to not be at the table when it's happening. Ugh. The whole point of these games, to me, is escapism. Immersion and fantasy. I don't want to roleplay shopping. I have to do that in real life enough already. No thanks. System-wise, it's anything over a reasonable medium-crunch level and I'm out. D&D 5E is too much. Savage Worlds Adventure Edition is closer. But the lighter the better. A one-page RPG? I'm in.
