Been watching the Avengers in various forms, new film, cartoon show, etc.
Has me thinking about maybe playing some superheroes in between development of Hulks and Horrors.
Was wondering if there's anything in this particular department in the supers vein.
I know someone did some kind of rehash of the MSH system IIRC, but anything else? Any old-school D&D based projects?

The retroclone of FASERIP is 4C, and it's in the public domain. It's hosted on Lulu, because there are dead tree copies you can order, but the pdf is here (http://www.lulu.com/shop/public-domain/4c-system/ebook/product-17558944.html). There are a couple of steps, and if you don't have a Lulu account, you will need to set one up before 'purchasing' it and downloading. I am pretty sure I have a copy floating around, let me know and I can email it instead, if the Lulu method is a hassle.
The closest you will get to a D&D system is Villains and Vigilantes (http://www.rpgnow.com/product/81970/Villains-and-Vigilantes), now on version 2.1, which is just a bit of clean up and clarification on the original rules. The ability scores go to 90+ on the charts, so you will have to squint a little to see the D&D under there. Still, $7.50 for the pdf is not a bad deal, really. I think they used to have the original rules scanned in and they were free for a while, but I can't find a link for those anymore.
Check out Mystery Men:
http://matt-landofnod.blogspot.co.uk/p/mystery-men.html
It's pretty much exactly what you're looking for. And it's good too!
I was also going to say Mystery Men. It's not perfect, but it works.
Yeah Mystery Men is OGL/D&Dish. Villains and Vigilantes predated the OGL and was one of the earlier superhero games, and it scales decently (with some GM assistance) for being based on the idea of D&D. (As opposed to direct mechanics.)
There are several based more on D20 (but not so D&D/Old School)
I like the page counts on these games. Less is more.
I've actually got a good chunk of one of my own on my hard drive. V&V without the equations and decimal multiplication.
So, Mystery Men is ... odd.
The feats mechanic is stupid. Needlessly convoluted for what appears to be no actual good reason that I can find.
The trade off between level and powers is, well, weird as well, and I dislike that there's no random powers option.
I could see playing this, but not without some house ruling.
Yeah, it could have been done better.
Quote from: J Arcane;540326I dislike that there's no random powers option.
There's some Random Power generation rules here:
http://mutantsmagic.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/random-power-tables-for-mystery-men.html
Those tables remind me of something I did like though: There are a lot, and I mean a fuck of a lot, of powers, and they're all described in that good old OD&D brevity that I like.
I'm reading up on V&V now. So far, I'm not sure I like this whole "make yourself" assumption, but it does say there's rules for more normalish chargen later, so we'll see when we get there.
The decimal modifiers are weird too, but so far I haven't seen any that are used during play. Does that change?
As far as I can recall you never use the decimal multipliers in play. FGU had this huge obsession with mass based hit points back in the day. The Daredevils / Aftermath family of games had similar things.
The Decimal modifiers only are used rarely. Heal Rates decimal becomes a percentage for healing. Other decimal points for hit points and such only become an issue of the heroes size/mass or stats change significantly in play.
Is Marvel SAGA worth a damn or what?
There's also Hideouts & Hoodlums (https://sites.google.com/site/hideoutsandhoodlums/), which is based more closely on the 1974 version of D&D (via Swords & Wizardry).

Now, I consider myself a pretty big fan of OSR stuff, especially stuff that uses old school design principles over uncharted waters (e.g. Stars Without Number, Flying Swordsmen), but Hideouts & Hoodlums does come across as a pretty big square-peg-round-hole sort of game. There's even this contrived talk of "hideouts" as dungeons and "trophies" as loot.
I've never played it, and I firmly belive in "don't knock it until you've tried it", but I'm not sure this is what I'd want from a Golden Age supers RPG, OSR or not. Mystery Men definitely comes across as a better option.
Quote from: J Arcane;543723Is Marvel SAGA worth a damn or what?
SAGA is horrible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAGA_System). Might just as well break out the Jenga tower:
QuoteThe SAGA System is a role-playing game system that uses "fate cards" to determine the effects of actions. The cards have numbers, suits, positive and negative states, and role-playing cues that guide the gamemaster in telling the story and administering the game. The system has been used in TSR, Inc.'s Dragonlance: Fifth Age game and the Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game, later published by TSR. Sue Cook was the brand manager for both of those game systems, and helped design the SAGA game rules.
In SAGA, a player holds a hand of fate cards that represent his health and the range of actions he can take. The maximum number of cards he can hold is determined by the number of quests he has completed. This replaces the experience points system of many other role-playing games. The cards replace dice-rolling, as well. When a player attempts an action, he plays a card from his hand. If the suit on the card matches the action type (swords for strength-related actions, for example) it is considered "Trump." Playing a trump card means that the player can draw another card from the top of the Fate Deck and add the number on it to his total for attempting the action. When a character takes damage, the player must discard the number of points of damage to be taken from his hand. When a player has no more cards in his hand, the character is unconscious.
Stick with Marvel Super Heroes or Advanced. Or download 4C, it's virtually identical in play, except it has fewer power listings. Even better, it's in the public domain, and includes the chart (http://www.lulu.com/shop/public-domain/4c-system-download/ebook/product-17560544.html).

Now, hear me out, because I don't think I actually like Hideouts either, BUT, I think in a way, it does do a better job of emulating the Golden Age comics than a more traditional supers design.
It boils down to how they handled superpowers. It's essentially about the difference between having permanent powers, and the "powers as spells" approach that Hideouts uses. The latter fits better with how they tended to write Superman in those days, with him conveniently having new powers in every issue that just happen to solve the day's problem.
I don't like it, it's shitty writing, it feels lame and impermanent in play, and on the whole the game feels clunky as fuck, but it DOES I think fit better with the very specific era they're shooting for. It's just not an era I'd ever want to play.

I'm not entirely offended by the mechanics in concept, but the problem I had from a very quick skim was that 1) the specialized deck makes it impossible to run online, and 2) character generation seemed a bit cursory and weird.

The problem I seem to have with MSH is that, as you say, the power lists are shockingly limited. Unless you pull in like a bajillion sourcebooks, there simple isn't enough of the style of power on offer to make it interesting. It just doesn't feel very complete unless you want to do a shitload of reading.
I think if I'm going to run something I need to either give Mystery Men another shot, or just pull out my trusty DC Heroes or M&M3.

1) In MSH, a player can create ANY power. You simply describe what the power does, check it with the Judge, and assign it a rank.

3) The Ultimate Powers Book (available for free download here (http://www.classicmarvelforever.com/cms/advanced-game-and-modules.html)) is
the most comprehensive sourcebook on superpowers ever put out for any supers-based RPG system. Just don't use the random roll chargen.

This does actually make for a clarification of something I'd had a mistaken impression about. I have a chargen program for MSH, and I'd mistakenly assumed that those little letter-number codes on the powers were sourcebook references. It looks like all the powers I was missing from Advanced are actually all in the Ultimate Powers book.
That helps a bit, thanks. Still not sure how well the chart-based resolution will work online though.
Quote from: J Arcane;543875That helps a bit, thanks. Still not sure how well the chart-based resolution will work online though.
I will grant that might be somewhat tricky. Record the raw d% roll, have the player give the result (Red, Yellow, Green), double check it on your own chart, and go from there. Slightly more complicated than a to hit roll for AD&D online, but not by much, really.
Sorry about the Ultimate Powers thing, I thought you were familiar-ish with that. Tristram cleared it up, though. Like he mentioned, if there are any powers or power stunts not listed (and there probably aren't any), it's easy enough to describe them and assign a rank.
EDIT: The character generation in Ultimate Powers isn't all that bad, just more complicated than the core books. There is a fair chance you will end up with some power combinations that might be tricky to correlate, however.
Well, as I mentioned, I DO have a chargen program for MSH, so the complication of the tables isn't really a problem. I definitely know what you mean though about some of the Ultimate Powers results being a bit TOO random.
The nice thing about the way Heroes Unlimited did it's random generation is that it was clustered such that your results still made some kind of sense at the end. It's really easy to wind up with an MSH character that's like "How the hell did that even happen?"

I think I just snagged that one downloading the stuff from the link Tristram provided. Hopefully it runs in Wine well enough.

I had a guy whose origin was 'magical talisman' or something like that, and his powers were cold generation, super strength and armour, as I recall. I was struggling to figure out who would magick up a talisman with that array of powers. Still, he was pretty fun to play.

There are two out there that I know of, Kyce's .8 version, and Zan's 1.2. I like the latter much better, as the interface is a lot cleaner and more sensible, though it took some googling to find the Windows version.

Something to consider--part of the fun is coming up with ways the powers do tie together.
I would also like to point out that default random roll only has you determine the power categories, not the specific powers. You might get Body Alterations/Defensive and then choose Body Armor or Regeneration or whatever, to fit with the other categories you've rolled.
The chart system is pretty simple, and solid. Its been the supers game I stuck with for many years, UNTIL I decided to write my own. I still run MSH from time to time because many people are familiar with it.
I tend to avoid the UPB as its random roll system create crazy things that blow off the doors of reasonable power level play. (I had a PC that alone took out Nimrod the mutant hunting robot from the future--something teams of X-men had trouble with including the second Phoenix. Rachel Summers.)
On the other hand it can be used for idea generation as long as you stick (mostly) to the character generation in the core MSH books. (For attributes, and number of powers.)

I downloaded that one for later, the version I found was 1.1.3, which isn't too bad, so the 1.2 should be pretty cool.

Something I'm noticing between the two is that Zan's generator doesn't have a box for generating weaknesses, and the base numbers it provides for the different ranks don't seem to line up with the ones in Ultimate Powers or in the MSHG/Kyce generator.

He's easily winded because his exo-suit doesn't have any batteries, which he can't afford because of his Poor Resources. His Incredible Resistance to Emotions means he never gives in to the frustration, and he amuses himself by Animating Images a couple of hundred miles away and watches them with his Excellent Telescopic Vision.
If you really want to take up a superhero concept from when there were few game options, I always treated superheros under the artifact rules of AD&D 1, which would be the same as under Original D&D. So, a player has whatever race, class and level character developed normally, then the character goes through the addition of powers as described in the artifact creation rules. It is a D&D way of doing a superhero. There is no boundary to the selection process, other than the modeling of the desired superhero. Weaknesses that a superhero may have are defined by that which the character doesn't have as defenses and attacks. It is very much like writing up a high power monster. So, it is very much like a monster as character set-up. Most superheroes have various invulnerabilities, for example. It works, and it uses back in the day concepts. I find there are a lot of overdone rules for superhero campaigns.
The powers are all of those listed as options in the artifact section of AD&D 1 plus a few to fill out the lists.

All powers in italics operate as described in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Players Handbook, except where an alternative frequency of use is noted. Otherwise, frequency of use is once per day. Powers are innate to the possessor, and they may be adjudicated in the same manner as monster special attacks and defenses. Although each power is described in the Players Handbook under specific class spells or psionics, powers do not draw power from the same sources as spells or psionics. A power described in the psionics section does not make a character psionic. Where a power is described in the psionics section, the possessor is considered to have a total of 200 psionic ability points for the implementation of the innate power only.
