Fighting is the least interesting thing from Mutants and Masterminds period.

Great show. I just started playing in a game of mutant and masterminds in my local gameing group. I already like the story line and how you are keeping the characters away from each other so they can’t compaire notes and put the picese togehter.

I loved it. I loved the PUNISHER game reference that Tom snuck in:

“Is it true you’ve killed over 450 people!?”
“Don’t know. There were alot of explosions”

I’m about 30-35 minutes in… No offense, but listening to Aaron roleplay is painful. Now I know Tom has penchant for prefacing some of his sentences with “Its like” and sometimes it annoys me and sometimes it doesn’t because he doesn’t do it all of the time, but Aaron, Christ Jesus man, every other sentence is “Its like”… Its like driving me nuts!!!
I agree with Ross, the fight sequences in Watchmen (especially the comic book) were meant to highlight the emotional struggles, the inner tumult and pathos of each character. I think that was one of the ways that Alan Moore turned the “comic book superhero” notion on it’s head.

Fighting is the least interesting thing in the Watchmen so I went that route.

Inspired me to try my own hand at it, Ross. If the online version works maybe I can convince some RL players to give it a chance. Even turns out that half of my players LOVE superhero games so I’ve got good odds at least.

I did expect more… action from the game. Not as much leaping along rooftops and punching out mooks as I like to see in a superhero game, aside from Aaron and those cops.
