Not to say your battles can't get in depth and creative but the game approaches combat in what I perceived as something very comic book like. So for those of you who like immensely huge detailed battles, where it is almost like you are playing a game of advanced chess, then this isn't for you. If my players want to play all villains, they can, if they want to be golden boy supers, they can. #Gilgamesh king of heroes mutants and masterminds how toIt doesn't tell me how to run my game but it gives me lots of options, and it doesn't try and approach on my story with any of its rules. It's a fairly short book, but it's solid and there isn't a whole ton of fluff. This game is a shot right up the middle, and that's why I think it's the best Super hero RPG out there. I don't have to rule check every five seconds, and no player goes "how do I do that again?" I've read through quite a bit of other super hero RPGs, ones that were very simple (almost too simple) and ones there were very complex (far too complex if you ask me). This time around the rules are pretty easy and they make the game flow, and they are memorable. But also can be customized quite a bit for your veteran players. The Game is pretty simple, great for first time players. They removed most everything useless and got rid of a lot of things that were clunky. Compared to M&M 2nd edition, 3rd Ed really cleaned up its act. Which I think is fitting for this game because that's how it reads. Previous editions were in hardcover, so I'd like a hardcover to go on my game shelf. The only problem I have with the game is that it is only available in softcover format. ![]() This book is just a version of those rules with all the specific DC material replaced with content created by Green Ronin. If you are familiar with Green Ronin's DC Adventures RPG, there won't be any surprises in here it uses the exact same system, with no rules differences that I've noted. The powers have been re-created in a way that resembles a much-simplified version of the second edition's Ultimate Power sourcebook the resulting power list seems to be able to re-create any power I can think of. ![]() Feats were re-named as advantages, and the skill system was streamlined, with some skills re-named to have a more modern feel. The basic defenses (saves) have been expanded to include Parry (which uses the Fighting ability). The old six D20 abilities (strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom, charisma)have been replaced with eight abilities: Strength, Stamina, Agility, Dexterity, Fighting, Intellect, Awareness and Presence. This is the third edition to the game, and the changes from the second edition are significant. I've used the system for games in different genres as well, with great success. It adapts the D20 system, with numerous changes and a lot of simplification, making the system better and more suited to the genre. Mutants and Masterminds is, in my 30-odd years of experience, the most flexible and thematically fitting tabletop role-playing game in the superhero genre I've ever seen.
