[Tim Gray]

WillyPete, I don't understand why you're making long and semi-offensive posts criticising aspects that you think a game might have, not really knowing anything about it.

If you actually want to find out more about it, try asking polite questions or reading the various reviews that are around the place. If you just want to sound off, go to Tangency Open where you'll probably find people willing to take you on.

If your Game System is telling me that Green Arrow can throw a Skyscraper at Amazo, and do it by taking a 'hit' to his relationship with Black Canary....
Sorry! This makes for a bad mechanic, AND for bad storytelling!

This is just nonsense. Trying to make the game look bad by making stuff up and hoping it sticks.

Fair enough... but, if he's taking Teenager, and I'm taking Power Cosmic, that can make the GM's task a little harder, can't it?
How DO you fit Dick Grayson and Starfire into the same group, and not have one Player, or another, grow bored?
Yeah, they do it in the Comics all the time, but an RPG isn't a Comic, and Starfire doesn't have a 'Player' seperate from that of 'Dick Grayson'...
If you don't have varying point costs for varying powers, it makes it that much harder to get the Players to come up with Concepts that work well together...
Not impossible, but more difficult!
Now, if you're in a 'High Trust' environment, where everybody's known each other for years, this may not be a problem....
But, if you've got a new group, where no one knows anyone else (yet)...
What are the odds that they're all going to be on 'the Same Page'?
It's hard enough to do this with a game that has very specific mechanics...
I would think it to be darn near impossible in 'T&J'!

But this is exactly what we're telling you T&J aims to address. Any player can try to bring their stuff into play for tasks, and stunt off their powers (or Master level Qualities) to do cool stuff.
