SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Koltar;422279NOT a "counterpoint" if its the name of a company.
Of course it is a counterpoint. Steve Jackson is obviously so full of himself that he even named his company after himself.

Quote from: Cole;422806I take it you mean that it fails to emulate the comic-book supers genre. Since you say it's mechanically sound, do you think there are other genres it would work well for?

I would assume so, yes.

Let me put it another way - what genres do you think it might work well for?
I've played with several people who are big M&M fans, especially of the mechanics, and having looked over the book casually, I didn't think it read like a very good fit for supers, either. I was just curious what you might consider using it for instead.

I honestly don't know. Modern stuff? stuff with powers but not meant to emulate comic book superheroes as a genre?
