Mist Engine superheroics vs. City of Mist
Hello everyone,
I'm ridiculously in love with the Mist Engine. It's the perfect 'lite' system for me. That said, I'm looking to run a superheroic game in the vein of Aberrant/X-Men/Heroes/Harbinger regarding an emergent superpopulation that may well represent an evolution of homo sapiens. As such, most of the peculiar trappings of City of Mist feel inappropriate, or rather the ostensibly more streamlined Mist Engine feels sufficient.
I usually prefer Champions for my superheroics but the people I'm looking to play with absolutely can’t handle the crunch.
Anyway. I was wondering if anyone had an argument to just use (possibly tweaked) City of Mist instead and/or if there’s a point of using City of Mist Mythoi as inspiration for people on how to set up their powers, seeing as how unlimited choice can be overwhelming. Personally, I think coming up with Themes is half the fun, but some people have a hard time with those.
