Hey, is there a Mutants and Masterminds thread anywhere? I've got 'how do I do this' questions and I don't see a place to ask.

Alien Rope Burn posted:Not that I'm aware of, but I can probably answer any questions you have. A friend of mine is playing in the Heirs of the Atom living campaign in Denver in a few months, and wanted to make a dude. Neither of us have played since 1st ed, and we're not totally up on the rules. It's a PL-8 campaign with a noir feel. He wanted a guy who's kind of unconciously lucky. The Shadow meets the guy from Get Smart, who thinks he's a badass vigilante but is really just bumbling around. We came up with a bit, and then someone on Reddit suggested this, but we don't know if it's any good. I'm not an expert either, but playing around in Hero Lab, I came up with this. I may be missing some obvious things, but maybe you'll get some ideas?

IK's history is an incredible gently caress fest that you just sort of slog through to get to the good part, which is playing the game. Also, only play with Iosans and Rhulics, because every other nation is boring.

Mors Rattus posted:Objection: everything Hordes. Okay, this is true. Skorne and Blindwater (not so much Everblight, which is just a boring Cthulhu-dragon wankfest) is really awesome, as is the Circle and the Trolls. And no, Unleashed hasn't come out yet. Yes it will have gatorman rules, as well as (from what I've heard), Tharn, humans, Nyss, bog trogs, boggrin, and maybe Skorne. From what I've seen, they're saying it's incompatible with IKRPG because of power levels (warlocks are just so much stronger than warcasters to start off) but I'll have to look it over and see if that's true.

Mors Rattus posted:The interesting thing to me about Everblight is their recruitment method. There's no brainwashing, there's nothing like that at all - being Tainted just feels really good. So people join up, get the taint and obey because holy poo poo this feels amazing. This isn't even supported in a vast majority of the fluff. Being tainted feels like getting radically mutated in a painful, sickening way in a lot of stuff. I think it only feels good if Everblight personally likes you.

Mors Rattus posted:We can at least agree that Skorne and Blindwater own. I sold my Trolls. I'm still trying to sell my Skorne. But I will never, ever sell my Blindwater. They're so awesome. edit: Also, I think Unleashed has rules for playing as pygmy trolls.

I agree, for the most part. My main complaints with the game, if they could be called a complaints is that their release schedule is really slow and I want more and more careers introduced. A doctor-ish/professor-ish one, specially, would be nice. I don't like the Explorer in either of those roles. Also, some of the race write-ups just loving -suck-. Ogrun and Gobbers, I'm looking at you. And I can't believe that we still don't have a fighting korune class yet. We've got the labor korune, but if you want to play an Ogrun like Gudrun the Wanderer, there's nothing for that, but there should be since korune/bokor are such a huge part of their whole culture. Oh, and we need more Rhul/Ios/Skorne stuff, since they're the best. Anime elves and desert elves and beards. Let's do this.
