The last few have been great. Let's keep it going. Mutants and Masterminds, FASERIP, Wild Talents, Icons; if you play it, share your experiences.
Thread topic: would anyone be interested in creating a Veeky Forums supers setting? I've seen some really cool ideas posted in these threads and I think it's a shame to relegate them to the archive. I'm more familiar with M&M, so I'm using that as a reference.
Where would the best place for starting heroes be? A city? A group of cities? A small town?

Statblock for Stuntman. I went with a lower PL 8 base and added from that point onwards. Guy's a mook masher, but I threw in some Investigation to make him more interesting in roleplay.
Another question: I've experienced some difficulties making M&M combat exciting. What have you tried in combat to mix things up?
Supers settings are typically separated into spheres of influence. That would probably be the best place to start.
Town Level: Teenaged heroes or low-powered protectors. Folk heroes and occult investigators.
City Level: More experienced, powerful, or skilled heroes. Probably not powerful enough to handle planetary threats singularly.
Planetary Level: World protectors. These heroes are either so powerful or so financially/socially/politically well-off that they can protect continents by themselves.
The Galaxy: From the Silver Age on, the concept of a larger galactic community within superhero universes has become more or less a staple. Heroes from the verse are not necessarily more powerful, but they do have connections, technology, and knowledge that typically dwarfs their earthbound peers.
So a small town, suburb, or borough would be a good place to start. Might make it a part of the larger city setting.
I miss Project Rooftop.

M&M is a terrible choice for this, its far too mechanically difficult. Use something like Marvel Heroic Roleplaying instead.
Yo soy la justicia. Yo soy la luz ¡Soy El Dorado!
I don't know Spanish, but I know that 'la' is feminine; am I doing this incorrectly?
What about it is mechanically difficult?
Bogged down by memery, I'm afraid.

It already happened once. It was called CapeWorld and included The Statesmen, a group of heroes from each state. Then a few anons really took to it and dominated the threads to the annoyance of others. Then those anons went off on their own and now they're making their own comics.
Any fun power ideas that aren't just direct rips of comic characters? Or any good power combos?
