System for Over The Top Metal Space Opera
So, got this original setting that's been percolating in my head for a few years. Very Metabarons and Power Metal and Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy. Over the top metal space opera, right?
Anyway, tried running it with Fate but it was such a hassle to try and balance widely varying stunts and extras, not to mention the lack of, shall we call it 'RPG style' equipment. I feel like I'd need to spend many hours building a slew of weapons, armor, and powers. And maybe that's what is necessary, in the end, but I'd like to explore some other options first.
So, looking for suggestions of what kind of system people think might work.
One obvious option is Mutants and Masterminds, and I'm very familiar with the system. It could handle the setting easily, I guess it just feels a little flat in play.
I also love Numenera (et al), and think the 'I'm a blank blank that blanks' would be awesome, but I fear it would overpower the flavor and become 'that metal Numenera game' rather than what I want.
So, looking for suggestions, ideas, advice, disagreement, and also interest in such a game if/when the system issue gets sorted out.
