So, Friday night I played in what hopefully be my first regular stint as a PLAYER in a roleplaying group since 1989. It was fun, the GM and other players were fine folks, the food was good (Thanks again, Anne!) AND…
…Mutants and Masterminds fucking rocks!!! Oh, my droogies, how the Good Doctor has had his eyes opened by the great writing and rules wrangling of Steve Kenson/Super Unicorn Design/Green Ronin. Finally, a superhero RPG that can wash the decades long foul taste of Champions from my mouth, then replace it with sweet rules simplicity goodness. I mean, ONE fruckin’ die is all you need! How cool is that? I mean, combat (which in Champions/HERO system moves at just slightly faster than a glacial pace) just flows along smooth as silk (and that’s even factoring in that it was the first time Pat had GMed M&M or any of us had played it). Truly, Green Ronin and company have their shit together. Now I’m REALLY anxious to buy the “Blue Rose” RPG, which will no doubt send my romantic fantasy reading wife into wild dances of joy.
And now, I must go prepare for my regular GMing session with my “Kingdom Building Sim” players.
