M&M

M&M if you want good, HERO system if you want great, and Savage Worlds if you're fresh off the 5e boat or you want everyone to stat out a character in the next half-hour and be ready to play.

GURPS if you want best, and you aren't such a pussy, pussy. You a damned pussy.

GURPS if you're the kind of prick who actually gives a fuck about Lois Lane being chopped in thirds when superman catches her at terminal velocity. Or you already know how to playe GURPS. Let's face it, your system is everyone's second choice in virtually any category outside hard Sci-Fi and Tacticool campaigns. It's balanced mechanically, but suffers from the fact that you have to add or subtract so many circumstancial bonuses every time you play it's easier to play with an accounting machine on hand to keep track of the bonuses and penalties from the crosswind, the speed of a moving boat, the calmness of the waters, the daylight... it's just ridiculous.

It's a powerful tool, don't get me wrong, but that's just it. It's not so much an rpg system as it is a tool to build one. Every new campaign requires the GM to build up the rules of the game before you even consider asking the group to make characters.

Feel free to tell me where I'm wrong, I'm in the mood for a nice, long, and pointless argument thread. Oh, and don't worry, I've been medically diagnosed as a sperg, I deal with insomnia, and I'm off my meds for the day, so there'll be no shortage of autistic replies to your bait.

You're wrong. GURPS Action has you covered with simple, one-size-fits-all difficulty modifiers and just a general streamlining for action-movie-esque games. No reason why some of the rules can't be adapted for a Supers game.

>You're Wrong, you just have to use this supplement in combination with everything else you're already using to simplify everything.
Only in GURPS do you simplify things by using an additional supplement.

Say that actually works as advertised... that still doesn't change the fact that it's a toolkit rather than a system. In fact your point only further reinforces that.

This is really the issue with GURPS. It's not a single system that you can use for everything. It's a ruleset that becomes a brand new system that you have to rebuild every time you want to run something different. Yeah, the core mechanic never changes... but that's just it! The core mechanic is the only thing that doesn't change! Sure you can put all your effort into learning this one system, and it might become easier, but by that time I could have already learned and started running another, simpler system that does exactly what I wanted it to with no trouble and faster character creation to boot.

i like wild talents/godlike personally, though I admit it has a boatload of issues.

other than that, I think mutants and masterminds is the most popular, though i've never tried it myself

>you have
EVERYTHING in GURPS is optional. The idea that "it's in the rulebook so I must use it" is a bad meme started by D&D nerds.

>It's a ruleset that becomes a brand new system that you have to rebuild every time you want to run something different.

That's a pretty silly statement. It's like saying AD&D 2e becomes a different system depending on on if you use Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, Al-Qadim, or Dark Sun because they each have unique rules for PCs or 3.5 is a different system if you ban Fighters but allow Bo9S.

You're just biased against GURPS

In this thread? Yeah, sure. In another thread I'll defend it with just as much gusto.

Anyway, it's become abundantly clear that OP is, at this point, CapeShitposting across the board, and has abandoned this particular thread, so I'm going to take my leave.

Masks if you want to play its particular brand of young heroes finding their own path into adulthood and you like rolling d6s.
Marvel Heroic if you want to tell a story in the Marvel universe and have enough d8s and d12s. You probably think you have more than enough d8s but you probably don't.

I made this thread before I went to bed, this is the only thread I made on /tg/ yesterday, what are you talking about

Prowlers and paragons. My group loved how simple it was, and the Resolve system lets you improvise your powers. Using your jetpack in place of your strength score, teleporting inside a personal force field, that kind of thing.

Also, prowlers and paragons is dirt cheap. 5 bucks for the PDF.
