I would suggest that being Stinking Rich is, a la Bruce Wayne/Elon Musk, a superpower.

In practice, M&M feels very different from D&D .

Many of In practice, M&M feels very different from D&D .Green Ronin’s design choices will feel very familiar to old time Champions players:

Copypasta error? It seems like "Many of Green Ronin's design choices... " is probably what you meant.

I've seen people online refer to Mutants and Masterminds as "DC Heroes 4th Edition". Like you said, SHRPGs all have to deal with the problems of scale and survivability and tend to converge on similar answers.

I see a lot of spaces also vanished. Sigh. Fixed.

Sounds like a Kevin O'Donnell novel

I guess nobody would have noticed the spaces missing, though.

I am sad at how thoroughly his work vanished.

Re: Sounds like a Kevin O'Donnell novel

to be clear, I was making a "War of Omission" reference, and not trying to dunk on a dead SF author's legacy :).

I got the reference!

Re: Sounds like a Kevin O'Donnell novel

[connactic]

I assumed you would, but your comment made mine look a bit like some sort of odd grudge/snark against O'Donnell :).

Surprisingly, the novel War of Omission is remembered by, oh, dozens of people around the planet. Obviously a few paperbacks have not yet been tissered out.

M&M is my go to for crunchy, while Masks and Icons are my go tos for simple SHRPGs.

"Not that I'm interested in buying another RPG I'll never have time to play," she lied, "but tell me about Masks?"

Magpie Games, Powered by the apocalypse, teen heroes, damage measured in varieties of emotional trauma

Hm. I've seen the Apocalypse system and it looks interesting, but none of the settings I've seen having really grabbed me. The TV Tropes entry for Masks seems promising. I'll check it out at my local game store.
