This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming.

If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

2 games that could handle this really well are Cartoon Action Hour season 3 and Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition.

I don't do campy, but it IS a supers game, it's not darkgrim.


I'm not looking for darkgrim at all.  I just don't want to mimic the more childish parts of the show and such.  The image linked below is pretty much my ideal look for a MotU game.

You need to run this online and invite me, bro!

I agree on the childish parts, I linked to the video so ppl could see what I'm taking inspiration on for the powers, that image is dope!

The plan is to run it on roll20 or owlbear rodeo.

CCAH any edition is out, it was designed to mimic TV shows, I'm not doing that.

P&P Ultimate Edition? IIRC I own one edition of it but I don't remember which, let me check and I'll have an opinion on it.

You can use the mechanics in CAH S3 without making it simulate a show.  Simulating the running of a cartoon show is not what I'm interested in either.

Some other candidates I've looked at are: Worlds Without Number, Cortex Prime (just like the system in Marvel Heroic Roleplaying) - writing up characters in the latter would be a breeze.

I have a bunch of character writeups a guy did for MotU for CAH S3.

Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic Edition is another excellent choice.

Have you read that MotU game that is in Spanish we talked about? I wonder if it is any good.

I'm in the process of translating it, never played anything with that system, but it seems to have the lore to a T.

Have you played anything using CAH? I'm not familiar enough with the system to run a game with it, maybe you could run it?

WWN... Yeah, I can see it, it's OSR-ish enough.

Cortex Prime / MHR: Never played it.

I was thinking of using Guardians https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/172576/Guardians

OSR mechanics, race + class + buy your superpowers.

Or maybe  a pointbuy system that's not HERO or GURPS. ACTION! or OpenCore/OpenAnime come to mind.

Edited to add:

P&P is pointbuy no?

BoL... There's even a free superhero game based on it https://barbariansoflemuria.webs.com/League%20of%20Heroes%20v0.H.pdf But I have never played that game in particular, but BoL does sound like a good fit too.

I commend you on another solid choice; Mutants & Masterminds is definitely in the right sphere for running Masters of the Universe.

Well, extracted the text in Spanish to a txt, opened it with libreoffice and exported it to a pdf, then used Google Translate to translate the pdf and now I'm just giving it a little editing to get the correct paragraphs and formatting the tables while fixing Google's translation errors.

It might be done next Friday.

50% done, now at the slowest part of it. Today's game day so I'll get back to it tomorrow.

So Netflix did the most stupid thing they could and cancelled the well received series... But not the deconstructed one...

This has to be some money laundering scheme or some other scam.

  There might be toy issues involved, just like in 2002--I saw some reviews of the tie-in toys, and they looked cheap and slapdash, and distribution seems to be even spottier than for Origins and Masterverse. They might have dragged the cartoon down with them.

I really liked the 2002 series. "Serious" enough, but not so serious as to make a mockery of a kid's cartoon by taking it too far.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Lots of those who saw it liked the 2002 series. But the toy line flopped, so it died prematurely.
