Hi everyone, being on leave these few days has foolishly given me the notion that I can afford to start another game. I'm thinking one of these interestingly themed superhero settings.
Godlike (subtitled Superheroic Roleplaying in a World on Fire 1936-1946) is a heavily themed WW2 superheroic setting by Detwiller and Stolze. Thanks to the war, powers are awakened, with the first parahuman coming from the Axis, an ubermensch as it were. The game focuses on war and combat missions, and a campaign could run from how the war started all the way to its end. It's got some interesting dice mechanics that looks for matching rolls in your dice pool.
Aberrant is White Wolf's idea of superhumans. Post-human, set slightly in the future, lots of powers, but at the gradual cost of Taint, ie the more powerful you are, the less human you become. Clear factions in its world as is the case for WW, and the familiar WoD Attribute + Skill mechanic. Lots of flexibility in creating any kind of superpower combination possible, and design-wise the game can be structured to any preference.
I'm offering Godlike because someone asked for it, and Aberrant because there was a good game going on here for a while but the GM couldn't continue.
