Title: best superhero role-playing game?
Post by: capmarvel on May 17, 2011, 02:13:33 AM: Just curious what opinions on super-hero games are out there from the Novus crew?

Many seem to like Mutant and Masterminds. I looked at their DC Adventures book briefly but didn't get much into it yet (though I do wonder how they can give Superman only an Intellect of 2 when he can outwit Lex Luthor and Brainiac).

I've also looked at Hero (and played Champions about 400 years ago), but don't like all the math involved.

So, if you have an opinion or an experience (good or bad) you'd like to share, I'd appreciate it.

I have tried other supers systems, but not ever really found one that I liked as much as Champions, likely because of the difficulty getting exactly the sort of powers/abilities I would want for my character.
