Supers RP using Icons (written by Steve Kenson of Mutants & Masterminds fame)

*crickets*

Bumping, because there has to be at least one or two Icons players out there somewhere... maybe?

Also, the game is simple to play and easy to learn, so if you don't know it, I'd be happy to teach you.

Supers RP using Icons (written by Steve Kenson of Mutants & Masterminds fame)

Wondering if there's any love for Kenson's "other" supers RPG, Icons?

The game I'd like to run would feature the player-characters as the premiere team of a city built upon the ashes of Gary, Indiana in the 1990's, shortly after the first supers appeared, and the first super-villain blew up the whole town. The man who designed and oversaw the construction of the new metropolis, Millennium City*, turned out to be as insane as he was brilliant (a fact only discovered well after the fact, unfortunately), and the place is a little… off.

The tone of the game would be strongly Silver Age, seasoned with Astro City dramatics and a touch of Grant Morrison uber-weirdness.

Why Icons? I like the simplicity of the system, but it retains some tactical considerations and a strong emphasis of thinking outside the box. Warning: You would be rolling random characters (you would be allowed to arrange your stat rolls as you please).

Any interest?

*Not the Champions setting

Until The Next Day!

Oh, man. Definitely interested.

Until The Next Day!

So this would a Groundhog Day-like game, where the day repeats itself until the heroes figure how to avert the disasters?

The Young Avengers: Probation

Definitely interested.

Just checking in... how are we doing?

Kings & Killers: A Classic Fantasy Adventure (Chapter: 0) (COMPLETED)

@Clever Hans CS is okay but youll need a longer and more detailed bio. Especially that youve brought a new faction into the lore 'the whisperers' also what province does you chararcter and the faction hail from?

@Dynamo Frokane

I left a few key words out of the CS, now added. Not sure what other info you're looking for. There's family, upbringing, training, current status. What else would you like to know?

The Whisperers do not have to be a major player. They can be a background nuisance, a source of vague rumor, the backers if an inconvenient surprise attack, or they can shrug and move on.

Just a few ideas

Would the magic guild include necromancers?

Color me interested. As a rule, I prefer games with more structure, and I'm very interested to see how this approach works.
