There's a lot I'd like to say on the subject, but I don't have time on the moment. Thanks for bringing it up.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-27401915913219616442021-03-28T11:59:47.651-04:002021-03-28T11:59:47.651-04:00Hmmm.

White Wolf's Aberrant fulfills most of those expectations, although it also leans heavily into the "supers as celebrities" trope as well, something we haven't seen a ton of in the recent crop of tv/film supers.<br /><br />Magpie Games' Masks also fits pretty well, although it generally doesn't go heavy on the "killer hero" thing in the last point. It'd certainly work fine for a "coming of age superhero story" ala (say) TV's Smallville or comics' Invincible (which was very, very deadly indeed).<br /><br />Mutant City Blues would work for a "cinematic" game with a police procedural/cop show/crime drama vibe, which we're probably overdue for in actual film/tv.<br /><br />And as you said, any system could be tweaked to fit the tropes of existing shows and films easily enough, with the possible exception of teh new Sentinels RPG from Greater Than Games. That one is very four-color indeed.<br /><br />Dick McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521293874696659063noreply@blogger.com
