At the moment though I'm trying to concentrate on world building, but its slow going due to pesky interference by Real Life(tm) and a distinct lack of motivation.Erik Menardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475240570545267217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205502949931557023.post-58841703927495324282021-08-09T18:00:07.687-04:002021-08-09T18:00:07.687-04:00I know this is an old thread, but I currently face...I know this is an old thread, but I currently face a similar question myself... what version did you end up going with?

Way back in the 1980s, our old GM, Steve, simply replaced it with very straight forward "to hit" rolls versus a target's defence score (in the style of modern D&D etc). And that's what I've run with ever since (although I've tweaked it, as is my wont).<br /><br />I always find it amusing that games seeking to emulate superhero comics also try to be balanced. Have these people read any comics? Thor and Hawkeye aren't equal, Superman and Blue Beetle aren't equal. The concept of player-character balance is an anathema to the source material. It was never a concern when we were playing V&V2 'back in the day', so not sure why it should be now.Tim Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845783872464372488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205502949931557023.post-58456707487932026522020-09-02T18:43:06.094-04:002020-09-02T18:43:06.094-04:00Go with the most recent version 3.0 Mighty Protect...Go with the most recent version 3.0 Mighty Protectors. If only because it will be easier to find resource material online to help supplement your campaign. Plus you won't be left with the possibility of anyone complaining about "game balance".PMikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211734454204424256noreply@blogger.com
