SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). 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.

I already answered this in another thread, but Guardians is the best superhero roleplaying game. While it is best at recreating Bronze age, it is great for Gold and Silver age as well. It uses old school DND rules reinterpreted for the superhero genre, is easy to pick up and play, and has a surprising amount of depth for the size of the book.

A great resource is also "The Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes" available on Amazon and elsewhere, by Jess Nevins. Short encyclopedic entries on most of the heroes from the comics and strips of the era, along with citations for their run in whatever comics (including many references where there were guest appearance crossovers and such).
