[QUOTE="A.K.A. Dragonfly, post: 7466659, member: 6689724"] Hi Robotic Avenger! Thanks for the question! Almost all of the games that I'm supporting are rules-lite and, therefore, good for novice younger players. This is true for SUPERS! Revised, ICONS, and BASH! for sure. I've only just discovered Supergame, so I can't totally vouch for its simplicity in play, but it seems pretty easy to pick-up. I'm converting characters to it now, and will play-test it soon. Of the games that I support, HERO System is the only one that could be considered rules-heavy. It's a GREAT game! I played it for 20+ years (1982 - 2002 and occasionally since then), but it's definitely rules-heavy (which is part of what makes it powerful in some very interesting ways). I'll say this, SUPERS! Revised is the only one of these games that I've played with VERY young kids. My daughters were 4 and 6 years old the first time they played, and they were able to understand the mechanics just fine. Well, my youngest didn't quite get the mechanics at the time, but she drew a picture of her character and each one of her powers in action. I'd prompt her in response to a situation, and she would point to the picture of a power and describe how her character was using it. Rolling dice after describing the narrative component was the easy part. I've also played BASH! with high schoolers, and they LOVED it! I've only every played ICONS with adult veteran players, so I just don't know how younger or more inexperienced players would do with it. Maybe others can share their experiences? The only other thing to consider, if all other things are equal to you, is that The Superverse was originally written as a SUPERS! Revised source book. That means that the section on new rules, including the mass combat system, are really only applicable to that game. I'll come up with workarounds when I do the conversions for the other games (that won't be a problem). I hope that helps! All the best, Dragonfly [/QUOTE]
