Just wondering if anyone is interested in playing Superheroes in a High School setting. The world is a synthesis based on "My Hero Academia" and the San Angelo: City of Heroes setting. The system I'd like to use is Champions 4th edition (I acquired the whole edition except San Angelo last winter.) However, I can run M&M 3rd edition if people like that.
Setting: San Angelo, City of Heroes.
High School: San Angelo High
Your character will have a quirk at birth. The quirk is the source of your super powers. Whether that is strength, or energy conversion (become fire like the human torch for example), or something else. You can use "My Hero Academia" or comic books (Superhero comics, please) for inspiration. Your class will be the Hero class. You will have a Superhero as a teacher. In the class, you will learn how to hone your powers.
So, who is interested in playing?
Oh, I love a superhero high school game! I'm in.
I might need help with the ruleset, but I'm in.
I would prefer M&M 3E.
If using M&M 3E, which power level would our heroes start as?
I'm reading my copy of M&M 3rd, right now. I was thinking PL10.
Hi, Elton.
I am not familiar with My Hero Academia, and the old computer I had could not get past the create the hero stage of City of Heroes so I am also unfamiliar with the City of Heroes world setting.
What I am quite familiar with are superhero comics (had over one thousand issues in my old collection, mostly Marvel, then DC and some other brands).
I am not familar with the Champions rpg (I might have played a version of it over 2 decades ago for a few sessions).
I have the second edition hardcover of M&M (which I have located) and softcover version, which I think is 3rd edtion (which I have not located). I have not played much M&M and that was years ago.
I'll provide a link on Drivethru where you can purchase your digital copy.
Does each high school hero have a single power or possibly set of powers?
All the heroes of "My Hero Academia" usually had one power, but it's not too hard for one to have a set of powers.
For a high school setting game, some of the first power ideas that I would enjoy playing would be one or more of the following:
Duplication/Split (i.e. Jamie Madrox, aka Multiple Man)
Phase (i.e. Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcat)
Density (i.e. Luke Cage, aka Power Man)
Teleportation (i.e. Kurt Wagner, aka Nightcrawler).
Duplication, Phase and Teleportation for some fun (getting into places of the school students are not supposed to have access to)
Density for embarrassing strong guy bullies.
One of my favorite superhero animated shows was X-Men: Evolution.
These are all good ideas.
I was thinking PL10.Thank you. Which grade(s) would our characters be in?
You would be Sophomores.

Here's probably the quickest way to introduce the typical high school student for My Hero Academia.
I'd be interested if we go with M&M 3e.
I am interested. I played mm many years ago. So treat me like a newbie
I've been thinking and I like the idea of either a Tager like character (Cathulhutech) or a Guyver like character
Ideas have the same theme
Transform into a symbiote like alien weapon form

I too, have played Mutants and Masterminds 3rd edition some time ago, so I'm also basically new at this.
But I was inspired by the Supervillians Save the World campaign, and Champions. :)

Ah, yes . . . I like both ideas.
(spoken in the MHA announcer's voice)
His quirk: Wires! He can extend and retract a bunch of wires from his body, which he can use to attach to walls and ceilings, or entangle his foe!
I've had more experience with Champions (I think I still have my rulebook around here) but I can do M&M 3e if that gets chosen (I've never played it before, though).
(I've had a number of other character types before, like an invulnerable kid who's a bit of a bully because he never feels anything, or a girl who can teleport from any door to any other door but has to pay $10 each time for some weird reason she never understands, to a guy who has an... extremely violent allergic reaction to strawberries. So I got ideas. And I know enough MHA to get the feel down.)
Looks like there is enough interest, and more to the Mutants and Masterminds (3e) game. I'll put up a real recruitment thread.
