Superhero Rules what are out there?

[Lord GreyWolf]

I own SS3 but am wondering what else is out there that I could pick up and play?

I have a 7 and 5 year old that both have Superhero squads and I have a couple of villainous squads. I am wanting something that is easy to set up and also easy to work out stats for the various different types.

anyone got any preferences?

Ganesha Games (Song of Blades and Heroes) are due to release a set not too far in the future. I am looking forward to them, I would guess they would suit younger gamers.

Power legions has been removed from the Ganesha site as upcoming, and there is nothing to be found under 'superheroes' on the site.  It is still listed on the WiP page but has been on that page for a few years now IIRC.  The last update on progress was no clear time-frame and that was Oct 23, 2012 on the GG message board.

I do own the Delve system and it was really hard for me to get my head around the design aspect of making the characters.

I want something that is K.I.S.S when designing the supers/villains as this game would be for me to play against my kids [7 and 5]

Give this a look, he plays superheros with his. I e-mailed him awhile back and he sent me a copy. My grandson (4) has a hoot and gets to play with grandpa's toys.

Yea, I was about to suggest that one....there is another one I found awhile back. Took me a bit to find the copy I printed to read....could not recall the name:

http://dominowriting.com/Supers%20of%20the%20Unknown.pdf

Rules are simple, about two pages of rules and 8 pages total including power descs....uses a variety of dice and is FREE. I didn't like it because it was simplistic, with kids this may be perfect. Uses hit point system and point system to pick powers, very simple if yo pick Level 10, standard hero, then you get 10 points of powers....and it scales from Level 4 Pulp, to Street (Watchmen), Sidekick Lv8 (Bucky, Robin), Lv10  Standard Hero, Lv 12 Advanced (Batman, Captain America), Superior (Thor, Superman), Level 20 (Thanos, Sandman, etc).

I kicked about the idea of taking this as a shell and modify it for my own use....

Then check that 8 page rules set, should work for your needs.

I'll be printing them up also. They look pretty good, lots of room to grow.

well as far as I can see the Pulp City rule set is going to be on Kickstarter end of January
so will wait and see what is on offer for it.

I am hoping there will be a section for creating your own characters.

I had a quick look and the rule looks and it looks very promising for the kids to play.
plus I can bring in robots,aliens and many other things.

Where did you see they was doing a Kickstarter? Curious to see what this deal is also, the rules would just be a bonus I am curious about the figs if it mentions anything.

Ah that explains it, Facebook...gah! I hate that social media monster and wish it burns in hell soon. I just watch people get sucked into it, it is like a social vampire. The KS looks interesting and I may have to keep an eye out on that one, may be worth the $90 for the rules and two starter sets along with an special fig and some add  ons and bonus perks.

@Styx
Would you if Pulp City has the ability to make your own supers and vilians?
