Like the tin says, I'm looking for players to test an idea, He-Man and the MotU game over Roll20, either in Spanish or in English if you don't mind me not having the pronunciation I once had.

It won't be based on the original cartoon but in the Netflix series, video below in case you didn't watch it.

Definitely a good call on using the non-Revelations Netflix version. It's more ensemble-focused (vs. the 80's cartoon that was very main protagonist-focused) where the PCs each get super-charged in some fashion by the power of Greyskull (or Havoc).

Honestly, it's a far better spiritual successor than Revelations despite reimagining everything. It was also better received because it was upfront about its differences (often rather creative reinterpretations while still holding to the spirit (I am particularly fond of Ork-0), versus trying to claim it was a literal sequel while taking a giant dump on the source material.

Exactly why I choose it, it's not about a Super Hero and his/her sidekicks, in this version everybody is powerful enough without eclipsing the others.

I'm having a blast making the stuff I need to make.

It goes to show you CAN re-imagine something without turning it into shit.

I've only seen bits and pieces of the CGI series, since I don't have Netflix, but what I did see looked solidly done and well-suited for the target audience, which puts it ahead of Revelation and Pseudo-Ra. :) The series has been cancelled, so the 4th season's planned journey to Earth and introduction of the Evil Horde (which was apparently going to lean into the Horde's resemblance to classic monsters) won't happen. If Revolution crashes, we can say with some confidence that trying to introduce the Evil Horde is the death mark for a MotU revival. :)

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.

I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

  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.

The game (IF I ever publish it) will be called LotU (Legends of the Universe). Because fuck Mattel and Netflix.

On the bright side, they ended it on a high note with Skeletor remaining a credible villain until the very end and before they had a chance to ruin it with the inevitable Woke elements all long running series seem to pick up.

Just view the coda with Hordak as an "and the adventure continues..." ending and its gonna be remembered fondly in a decade while Revelations will be rightly reviled for crapping all over a beloved favorite.

I'd looooove to play in a MotU game campaign in English.

I'd love for the tone to be more adult and less campy/child-focused preferably.

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!
