Just curious what people's preferred RPG would be for an OC hero game. In my experience the system has to be weighted on two sides; ease for players to slip into and ease for a coder to create a c-gen system for.
My opinions on each are as follows...
M&M 3: A decent system but I've never felt inspired by it. It often just seems to be a "Ok, we're just balancing that To-Hit and Defense ratio now..." type of a game.
Hero/Champions: This was my go to game when I was in high school along side FASERIP. While I enjoyed the system I feel it's a bit clunky, slow, and a bear to get new players into.
Savage Worlds: I only recently discovered this system but I love it. My gaming group is playing two SW campaigns as we speak (Rifts and Necessary Evil). Using the revised Super Powers Companion there has yet to be a character type we can't emulate. The important thing is they feel like the characters types they represent.
Heroes Unlimited: The Palladium RPG systems have always been a favorite of mine. The only real issue I have with them is how front loaded they are c-gen wise. I don't think it would be difficult to code just tedious and time consuming. It's been so long since I've tried to bring a new player into a Palladium system that I have no idea how well it'd go over.
DC Heroes RPG: Probably my all time favorite superhero RPG. I currently use it for DC Rebirth and I love it to death. I use a more freeform version of the system but it wouldn't be difficult to lock it down to emulate the RPG more precisely.
FASERIP / ICONS: I include the newer ICONS here as it is close enough to FASERIP to be almost a second edition of the game. This was the go to gaming system for my High School gaming group, probably because we could throw a character together in 15 seconds. I love the system but feel it falls short in some areas (namely in the social context).
Other: Aberrant is really the only other system I could think of that would interest me. I've never done a c-gen for it before but I don't think it'd be that difficult really. It's just I always found the game kinda broken. Love the setting though.
