Hey /tg/ let's have a Mutants and Masterminds thread. I think it'd be nice to have a civil thread about super heros and capes. Me I am trying to throw together a game with some of my friends after some trouble with a friends game. But I can't seem to get one of the players to cooperate.

I once tried to DM a pretty lax game of M&M set in the Marvel U. They could be anybody and I'd try to let them use their powers as appropriate rather than trying toll dice for shapeshifting or whatever. The only caveat was no cosmic guys or reality shifters.

Not good enough. Turns out Magneto is basically Dr. Manhattan.

I was letting them use their comic powers and only making them roll when they were going head to head with villains and shit.

But it turns out Magneto has control over the entire electromagnetic spectrum, not just magnetism. He can do ANYTHING basically. And I mean ANYTHING. Not just hurling skyscrapers with metal spines at people, but controlling their mind by manipulating the electric signals in their brain to just straight up Manhattaning someone by waving his hand and dissipating the subatomic electromagnetic bindings holding them together. It all has precedent in the comic books.

I gave up after he showed me a page where he dragged an moon-sized bullet halfway across the universe in like a week. Apparently Kitty Pryde was stuck inside it in the comics? Whatever. The only time I'm ever doing that again is if they all agree to street-levels. Fuck that shit.

I take issue with that particular rule, especially since there are a lot of heroes who can make multiple attacks before other characters can act.

A good rule of thumb is never let anyone play a character that's successfully been a foil by himself to an entire team of superheroes. They are ALWAYS supergods.

That means no Magneto, no Doctor Doom, no Mister Sinister or Kang the Conqueror, certainly no Graviton and to a lesser extent no Gladiator or Juggernaut.

no it doesn't, you takedown a MINION then move 5ft and get the next one. Weren't you the one bitching that only taking one attack per-round leads to taking out a room full of guys taking to long?
Takedown just allows an easy and quick mechanic for doing it in a single round.
One roll against all targets defence, stop when you run out of targets spaced at 5ft appart, run out of movement (based on a single move action worth) or stop when a target doesn't go down (you missed or they saved against the damage) and you can't move on as per takedown attack.

He pulled a bullet the size of the moon across the universe at FTL. If he'd had a mind to shoot Galactus with it there'd probably no more Galactus.

I do wonder though with powers like that why the Avengers or Fantastic Four or President of the USA didn't just ask him if he could pretty please turn back the skrull armada during Secret Invasion. God knows he could have.

Technically it shouldn't be done: Nightwing can do it just barely but only because he's been fighting Deathstroke since he was like nineteen, so he knows how the guy fights and reacts. Even then he needs help. BATMAN needed help.
But that's just fan-logic. I usually dismiss it when that happens, because asking for consistency in most western cape books is like asking for consistency in the air or something: you can breathe it and it's there, but it doesn't matter how much you shout at it or anything like that, it's not going to stop being what it already is.

In comics or your game? Telekinesis has a cap at i think 1.5x PL. So a pl10 game allows TK rank 15.
Thats 75 strength, so a lift cap of 819.2 tons
No where near enough for a moon sized object
lets say you didn't cap TK though. Even with 60 of 150pp spent on TK 30 you aren't anywhere near powerful enough to move the moon, and a bullet is going to be much denser.

THEN there is the fact that was in FTL i.e. dimensional. You can say no to dimensional easily

If he chose a hero above the games pl then make him buy everything and if it doesn't allow him to do it then he can't do it. Simple

That's with 1 rank, you hit people no more than 5ft apart if you can reach them, with 2 ranks you can move 5ft after taking each down allowing you to clear tightly pack minions easily.

Have you read the "Under the Hood" sections in the book? They're sidebars where the creators explain some of the stranger or more easily broken rules. There's one about speed and multiple attacks. It boils down to "multiple attack, while extremely common in comics, are entirely broken in game. As such, multiple attacks are not allow, though there are extras such as Multi-attack that are designed to replicate some of the effects of multiple attacks without the cheese."

I am thinking about mucking about with the rules right now, actually. RAW doesn't seem to fit street-level or "D&D" conan-like fantasy, everything becomes too powerful too fast.

I was thinking about ignoring "ranks", using the D&D 3.5 carrying capacity for strength, making speed powers more expensive and adding +5 feet to movement instead of doubling, stuff like that. You still get the openness of M&M, but also get to enjoy that "adventurers exploring a ruin" feel.

I have a bad feeling you don't actually understand the game system.

Just limit certain powers (superstrength TK etc) if lifting the heavy things is the problem. Look at the trait listings in the core book, it tells you what human base and peak amounts are (peak i think is 18 (+4 bonuses))

Heavy warning for that book!
Its the one that introduces the shit-slide that is multiattack type of stuff and other things that break the Cardinal 1 attack per round (like Attacks of opourtinities and allowing massive compounding grapple conditions (grapple, pin, chokehold, crushing pin etc)).
It introduces a large number of powers as feats so Conan can speed 1 rank etc

Not OP, but I'll give my opinion anyways.

Usually it's a bad sign, but there are many occasions where it is perfectly acceptable. Take any male character that's lived for a long time and had the inclination to sleep with young women without sticking around for breakfast. Wolverine, Sabertooth, Zeus.....a PC could very plausibly their bastard offspring. (though with Sabertooth, I'm a bit disinclined to believe that he wouldn't just kill every woman he had sex with for giggles and shits.)

Give him a chance and ask him to tell you how he intends to play the character. What are his motivations, fears, goals, why is he a superhero (or villain) and not just a super powered hobo. Then you can judge him.

They suffer lead poisoning very easily.
Lead bullets still bounce off, but enough lead contact with bare skin, or worse, ingestion of lead or lead in the blood starts to kill them extremely fast.
And unlike kryptonite, they don't usually "bounce back" once away from the lead, because it's lead poisoning rather then special radiation.

Lead is instantly fatal to Daxamites. It can't be cured, unless you take Brainiac's pills or join up with fish Jesus like Sodam Yat did.

Which is why early on I intend for him to get poisoned and die. Mon-El is stuck in the Phantom Zone if this were to happen, and the pills won't exist until far into the future. He's be forced to play something else.

And no, I don't think that the Metropolis scientists could make an antidote for him.

Playing as Mon-El's son is one thing, but having the cure to the lead-poisoning is a totally different thing. It would require that Mon-El left it with Guardian, Superman himself, or someone with access to a high tech lab before being shunted back into the Phantom Zone.

No I was kicked out after trying to prove that the Agasha shugenja was tainted and spreading it throughout the game. I mean it was totally obvious. He was using a tainted nemurani and his character was way to powerful for his background. Obviously he cheated and was playing as a mahotsuki.

Because there is no other way to play as a Daxamite. They only live on their planet and are xenophobic. They don't have rockets and don't want to visit other planets. Sodam Yat and Mon-El are the oddballs.

So because Mon-El was part of the supes family, so is this dude I guess. He's got Kent as a last name, El in his superhero name, and Superman knows of him.

Hey, this is secret knowledge but...MAYBE HE'S ANOTHER ODDBALL THAT FOUND HIS WAY OFF WORLD.

Maybe he's from an alternate timeline where Daxamites were inspired by the spirit of Superman and attempt to go off world and help people.

Maybe he's from the future after Daxam got mind controlled and blasted and shunt back due to falling into Booster Gold's time slipstream or something?

It's not too hard to make this shit work, seeing as it's a fucking Super Hero game. And I give the player props for not wanting to be a full on Kryptonian as so many do, though after New Krypton it's perfectly fair for him to say "I'm playing a kryptonian."

Woah. Someone's clearly missed the ENTIRE point of P&P RPGs
I've played with your sort before, sir, and you are a terrible person. You want everything your way and are prepared to potentially alienate friends for sake of the game going YOUR way. You're playing M&M, not Railroads: The Derpening. You need to relax and remember rules one and zero of DMing.
Rule one: your plans WILL become undone by accident.
Rule zero: you are telling a story for your player's enjoyment, not yours.
It's fine to have fun DMing (god knows I do) but you're there to help them have a fun time.

But this isn't Lot5R. This is a fantastical reflection of our own world. Be flexible!

The vast majority of nonsense in a group I've seen is the DM getting pissy. The rest is one or two select players going off the deep end.
Go buy the DMG for any D&D edition and read it. If you have no intention of playing D&D buy it and skip the rules sections and read the parts about DMing. Go read any of the large number of "NEW DM HALP" threads here. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+be+a+good+dm . Don't just keep going "It's the players fault I'm not having fun" or "It's X's fault that things are going wrong". Fix it. Talk to them. You're a full grown adult, deal with it as such.
You'll get no sympathy from /tg/. We've all been through some interesting/terrible situations and you can bet your left bollock most of us have handled things worse at some point. But we don't go telling the internet that our imaginative discourses didn't go to OUR plans. We learn from it. And so should you.

There are no remaining Kryptonians in my game outside of the Supes family and no Daxamite would have a spaceship. I am not trolling and I am astonished at how bad you guys are at character creating /tg/. This is a blatant sue and yet you do nothing!

I am not a troll, why do people constantly call me that whenever I have a real issue with people making terrible characters. The Agasha Shugenja was a bad and over powered guy.

My friend game is full of overpowered guys and ripoffs.

This guy is making a mary sue, related to two existing heros (Mon-El and Guardian), is part of the Kent-Supes family, has been able to talk to Superman and Superboy, mom is a policewoman and has trained him in some combat manuvers, pals with SB; all he needs is to be asian and we have a full blown sue on our hands.

The other's listened to my advise when making characters but this guy didn't and continues to make Superman rip offs. Bending canon to make it seem believable is a bad idea.

I have idea for how the campaign might work. Hercu-Teen is 2 PL higher than all the other players, but he's just Hercules as a teenager, meaning that the more fantastic abilities possessed by the young deities he babysits (ie the other players) makes them all equally valuable to the team.

Today we learned what makes an original character.
- That Daxamites would be the worst superheros ever because everything today is made of lead.
- That my plan to kill him is very possible and that there is no way for him to survive the poisoning.
- Bending cannon to make your character is wrong, case in point making Mon-El's kid is a bad idea. Just because he had one that was never introduced or whatever does not give you the right to pass it off as you OC.
- Neither is ripping of Robin a good idea

Sure, that's one way of looking at it. On the other hand, you could realize you're being a raging faggot about this and that if everyone on /tg/ disagrees with you, they're probably not the ones in the wrong, you are. So how about unscrewing your head from your ass and acknowledging that you have now fucked up.

Yes, actually, you do. Fact checking requires actual checking, rather than just declaring yourself god-king of the universe. You don't see many bad character threads, because it's very difficult to convince /co/ that there is such a thing as a bad character, it's very easy to convince them there are bad writers though.

I THINK I KNOW WHO OP IS
See, a month or so ago some dude whined here about his supposedly terrible mary sue PCs (Who may be the "terrible previous mary sue group you don't want this one to be like" in your ramblings contaiend in this thread), who were actually just simple superhero chars all related to someone from Marvel, or just possessing similar powers to existing superheroes. Upon closer inspection of said characters, /tg/ determined that there's absolutely nothing wrong with them, and in response OP sperg'd out, essentially arguing with all the fa/tg/uys (just like this time) that no, those are terribad mary sues, and he's gonna kill them or whatever, and in the end, got told in such volume that it went off the charts.

I am prettysure that was OP.

Stop. Just stop. Please. You are self-righteously posturing that you're somehow smarter and righter about the rules of a GAME OF PRETEND.

A GAME THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN FOR EVERYONE AT THE TABLE. If you don't want to allow a player to make a Daxamite, then either be an adult and fucking tell him to his face that you won't allow it, or just roll with it. Even better, point him in a direction that you might think he would have fun with, instead of passive-aggressively driving him away from the table.

Its a superhero game. There will be ripoff characters. It comes with the territory. Just like how fantasy games get chock-full of Monty Python references. So what if the characters are playing fast and loose with canon. Its not like your little game has any effect on actual DC Continuity.

If the player unbalances the game dramatically and hogs all the combat and non-combat stuff, THEN he's a problem and should be pulled aside and talked with. Until then, you're acting like Superboy Prime.

You know what, I hope your player makes a Czarnian for his next character.

1) Lead is not everywhere today. Perhaps 100 years ago. Possibly even as recently as 40 years ago. But basically since health awareness and people discovered that lead is poisonous to normal people it hasn't been used in much bar specialist applications (bullets, specific metal miniatures, radiation plating) it's been over taken by cheaper, safer alternatives.
Also. Conventional bullets are fucking copper coated you stupid tech illiterate shit. Pure lead rounds wear the barrel out quicker due to residue fired in to the barrel which can (after a few dozen rounds without cleaning) wear the rifling down by leaving globs of lead deposit and pushing them in to the the fucking barrel! It just creates a harder cleaning job! Jesus christ, how fucking dumb are you?!

2) Sure. You can kill his character via poisoning. You'll still be a fucking terrible DM.

3) Bending canon is one of the reasons you fucking PLAY an M&M game! It's no fun being out shone by DC's characters because you don't want to let anyone be richer than batman, smarter than robin or what ever!

4) Ripping off a character?! Alert the fucking media! Herpadyderpadydoooo!

5) Yes, mate, we're all wrong and you're all right.
Fuck damn I've not seen anyone this oblivious to the facts since my fucking dad!

Guys, we have a fucking critically retarded dip shit here. How the fuck does he even eat without stabbing himself?!
