Anyone out there running ICONS Superheroic Role-playing?

Hello Guys and Gals out there in virtual space, As the title states I'm looking for someone running a game using Steve Kenson's ICONS Superheroic rules. I'm a fan of comicbooks and have been a dedicated Marvel Fan since the late 70's. I have many years of experience with role playing games as well. I'm really excited about the rules light nature of the ICONS system and the kinds of stories that can be told with them. I'm not looking to GM anything at the moment as I've been stuck behind the GM screen for too long and want to get out and play a little. Feel free to drop me a line here or PM me as you see fit. Peace --Mike

You´ve to timezone or a timeframe?

I'd be interested in trying it, I liked the rules, and loved m&m by Kenson, aside from m&m combat

Jonas said: You´ve to timezone or a timeframe? I have no clue what you are trying to say here. Are you asking me a question about when the game will start or something? Since I'm not going to be running it I have no clear idea when it would happen. This thread is just a "hey is anyone out there interested in this" kind of thread. I was hoping to draw the attention of a GM looking to start something.

Poison said: I'd be interested in trying it, I liked the rules, and loved m&m [by Kenson], aside from m&m combat Great to hear! That makes two players at least. Now all we need to do is find a GM looking to run something. :D

M&M was so great for building characters, then you start to rp, its all great, and a fight starts and 7 hours later, everyone has 9 bruises and is still fighting. Its the worst. I haven't done a combat in Icons, but I am guessing Mr. Kenson fixed this issue =)

Yeah combat does move quicker than M&M but that's not all that hard to accomplish. Basically you have a group of hitpoints and if the attack hits you take damage and suffer any effects if the attack with with a superpower. It's pretty straight forward system for most things really. Just roll the dice and compare the result to an ability and go from there.

Hey Jonas, I'm in Eastern Standard Time Zone and am a night owl by nature. I like to game later in the evening say 10PM that way it doesn't disturb my wife. But I still haven't found a GM to run anything yet unfortunately. So if there is one out there reading this please feel free to let us know. ;) As for time-frame I'd be happy with a one shot but I'm really hoping for something long term, like a year or more. But I'll take what I can get really. Hope that answers your question.

Are you making Handjob?

^

Ummm. . . no. I think that was Dart but it sure wasn't me. I'm playing Sharknado remember. :D

It was Dart, but I "firmly" believe Handjob belongs to us all.

If we do this, I have a character in mind

I see a topic about superheroes, so I click it. The first two words I see is 'Handjob' and 'Dart'. Kewl. 'Sup guys. I don't even know what ICONS are, but if it's superheroes, I am all over that.

Icons is sort of streamlined m&m

Also to Mike, I was asking Jonas about Handjob =)

FYI you can get the rules for ICONS here. <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/81475/ICONS-Superpow" rel="nofollow">http://www.rpgnow.com/product/81475/ICONS-Superpow</a>...
