at 13:14 | Mutants and MastermindsI am looking to play a Mutants and Masterminds game. I would prefer an original setting rather than the Marvel/DC universes, one where supers are either or both of just beginning to emerge and fairly uncommon. I like to play weird characters that have no direct counterpart to any existing fiction, and enjoy well-built worlds that have realistic consequences for my actions.
More than just fighting supervillains, I want to have the opportunity to change the world for the better (or worse). I enjoy realistic politics and social issues in my games, and especially watching how they shift and evolve in the response to the mainstreaming of superpowers.
Following is a Google Doc containing a list of prefab characters that I would be eager to play. This list is not exhaustive; I could be persuaded into making an original character or a variation of an existing one for the right game. https://docs.google.com/docume...W-0/edit?usp=sharing
2022-12-16: At this time I am particularly interested in an opportunity to play a character that is not merely an augmented human. Examples of such characters include such things as a cyborg, robot, alien, or dimensional refugee. From my list, this means characters like Lucille or Shiori.

How original were you thinking?
| LoonyLadle: | | Hopeful bump! Maybe a brief explanation of the character I hope to play will rouse some interest. |
How married are you to that concept?

Which is to say I think super hero games especially, work better when players have some sort of creative prompt for generating their characters. My home group uses a random powers deck my buddy found. Weaver Dice has the other players generate the powers based on a random tragedy keeping the player's loose goals in mind. Another one I saw had you powers be basically a 3 part gig where you write one then you pass to the player to your left and to your right.

Mostly I just don't want the overhead of fifty bazillion heroes who have been around longer and are better than me in every conceivable way. I want to be part of the first wave, and not have to live in Super Dark Phoenix Psyker Wolverine Galactus' Left Bollock Man's shadow.
So if you want to take the real world and apply superheroes, that's fine. If you want a fictional City of Adventure, or to take things into the past or future, that could be fine. If you want to make a whole new world from the ground up that would work too, though it seems a lot of effort.
| Sir Swindle: | | How married are you to that concept? |
Not immensely, but it ties up a lot of aspects I want to explore into a single mechanically interesting character. I'm certain that some degree of translation will be necessary to make the idea work in whatever metaphysics framework you come up with. I'm not entirely opposed to adapting one of my innumerable existing characters into a superhero, but I do find a lot of traditional super origin stories incredibly trite.
| Orson Welles: | | The enemy of art is the absence of limitations. |
A wonderful sentiment, one I generally agree with.

at 13:13 | Re: Mutants and MastermindsI think a re-do of Marvel's "New Universe" might be a good start to a game. Everyone has the 'same' origin of a single event. Or look at White Wolf's Aberrant game where the official cause is one event, but the real cause is a little more.... not sinister but not what the world thinks it is. Or was.

at 20:01 | Re: Mutants and MastermindsHonestly, I think it's safe to say that any regular superhero Mutants and Masterminds game that goes up will likely get mobbed by interested applicants. It's just finding a GM that is challenging.
