[LFG] Looking for a ‘grounded’ superhero game. (Could do a GM game swap)

[Kaspar]

I’m not a fan of Marvel/DC kitchensink approach, with supers, mages, demons, aliens etc. all thrown in; and how supers have been active in these worlds for generations, and yet the world is still the same.

What I’m interested in is exploring the questions of ‘what do individuals do with superpowers?’ and ‘how does society reacts to it?’. Metahumans shouldn’t have been around for more than a decade or two, with society still adjusting to their presence. Or the PCs could in fact be the very first metahumans to appear?

 

The character I have in mind is a gadgeteering genius in powearmor.

 

What rule system? GM’s choice of course. My preferences would be Gurps, or a Fate game like ’Wearing the Cape’, if the GM wants it rule-light. Or Mutans&Masterminds 3 as fallback.

 

I’d be down to running a different game in return, a GM game swap.

 

Any GMs up to it?

I have had an interest in Cypher System - The Origin, and the game has a whole introduction scenario, which I find intriguing. I would be willing to consider such a thing.

Another more fantasy-related version would be Gods of the Fall, where the PCs are characters in a fantasy world and have a bit of a divine spark to them. Though this one is quite a bit farther afield from your original idea.
