[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 3421264, member: 40076"] I'm going to buck the d20 loving trend here and reccomend a different system... A VERY different system. the One Roll Engine supports a phenomenal game called [i]Wild Talents[/i]. It is a suprisingly gritty superheroes game. it's default setting [i]Godlike[/i] is one where at the 1936 olympic games, a Nazi flew in to light the torch. Yes, Flew. Then he delivered a brief speech on aryan superiority, and then took off with a sonic boom. World war two, with superheroes. On top of that, the One Roll Engine allows for infinite customization of your super powers. I'm not kidding about this. You want a genius who can plot the trajectory of artillery shells in his head From hearing the sound of incoming shells alone? You can do that. You want to summon a swarm of skeletal fish that can nip and bite at your foes? Done. Best part, the rules take about five minutes to explain, altogether. Roll your dice pool, look for matches. That's 90% of the rules right there. The default setting of Godlike runs from 1936 clear up to the present day, on a beautifully crafted alternate history, complete with dossiers of notable superheroes and their lives. The amount of humanity displayed by these supers is possibly the most surprising detail. For example, the greatest hero of America, The Indestructible Man, Who could not be harmed by any attack, died of cirrhosis of the liver. Over decades, he drank himself to death. Arguably the best part, [i]Wild Talents[/i] Contains the most detailed chapter on creating your own setting that I've ever seen incorporated in a RPG sourcebook. The presented "Axes of design" are easy to use, and easy to apply to any setting quickly and effortlessly. [/QUOTE]
