So I just got the Mutants and Masterminds GM kit and Quickstart Character Generator, and I'm pretty eager to try it out. Anyone care to roll up some superheroes and supervillains? A d20 for archetype to start off, thanks.

Oh, and while I'm here, does anyone have any advice on GMing a supers game?

Make sure the party is on the same page for tone and scale for what type of game you want to do because there's a huge difference between the justice league and the Outsiders.

Okay, that's the Paragon, the iconic Superhero. Next up is a d20 for their abilities.

Much advice, chief of which is this; make sure EVERYONE is on the same page.
Don't have two think it's a hyper-edgy post-modern Ennis comic, one think it's a Bat-Family comic, another think it's Avengers, one think it's Justice League, and another think it's DnA Guardians of the Galaxy.

Everyone needs to agree on an "Age", a genre, a theme, and be on the same page, which actually is surprisingly pretty hard amongst comic book fans.

Yeah, I'm already running into this. I wanna try and help everyone's character concepts work together in the same tone and theme without limiting them, but I may have to get them to cut back a bit on the edginess. I don't plan on it being too silly, but I wanna make the BBEG a tad over the top in their villainy.

Good luck.
Everyone thinks they're Grant Morrison first time they play, only without the talent, creativity, or imagination.
For some reason it's a HUGE problem with first-time superhero game players.

Giving gaming nerds the option to have any kinda power turns them into edgefest power trip weirdos, which probably says a lot about the subculture itself.

Superhuman. A powerful mutant, alien, or human who's gained incredible abilities.

Another d10 for Advantages.

Resources. So hey, starts off with a gargantuan sized headquarters with plenty of peripherals, not too shabby.

Super Movement. He's fast, he can jump, and he can move on walls and ceilings somehow.

Roll a final d10 for Utility Powers.

You mean you CAN'T?
You're just not trying hard enough.

Well that concludes it. This Paragon has been generated.

I was flicking through the M&M3e books myself, and thinking about something in the Post-Modern Age.

While I like Emerald City's underlying secret, I'm not a huge fan of the Silver Storm storyline.

I'm wondering if I should go with a more standard kitchen sink superhero setting or come up with a big upfront twist to kick off the setting.
