Superhero Rules Help Needed Please
« on: November 06, 2013, 02:19:54 AM »
I'm trying to get my wife and preteen daughters mini gaming and they like superheros. Thanks to Conquistador [great guy!] I have a bunch of clix supers to repaint and base for them to get their feet wet with, and so now I need rules.

What are some good rules that are;
1-simple
2-fun
3-capture the feel of super heroes well.

Saying why you like your rules suggestion gets you a gold star  ;)
Thanks in advance.

A fellow on here gave me a one-page set of Superheroes rules, that I think are just fantastic.

There is an AAR with his son(s) that is the epitome of fun looking game - these rules have just great potential. I will dig around and see if I can find them. Like you I have a bazillion clix, and wanted something fun and simple. I bought the Supersystem rules, but they are a bit ... complex? Maybe I am just simple  o_o

Edit: found the AAR: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=55333.0

PURE FUN!

Supersystem 3, you can do just about any genre with it and for the most part only a few pages of rules, most of the rest in powers and scenarios as well as some fluff if you want to use it.

Supersystem 3rd edition.

It's generic, you can create or recreate any super or villain, it doesn't depand on a miniatures range/brand. Campaign mode is very well. The dice system used for the rules is simple and "visual", even for beginners.

Plus if you can snag some of the Monsterpoclapse dice they are handy for quick dice rolling.

Absolutly ! and with a few tweaks, first edition heroscape dice can be used too. But monsterpocalypse would be easier to find (the range is often available at bargain prices, at least in France).

Not having played SS3, how can you use MonPoc (or HS) dice for this?
Looking for a set of rules that adaptable for different genres.

In the system the dice rolls are in essence, fail, one success or two...they match up to the Mon Poc dice on sides so they are easy to use in the game, you roll and see zero, one or two successes per dice..instead of trying to figure out on another dice.

Simpler to use but not essential. I don't have any yet because they are still expensive here...nobody is really discounting them much.

Local store here had them for cheap. Might see if they still have any, or ask some of the MonPoc players if they have extras they no longer need.
