Looking for a super hero system recommendation. (lemmy.world)

Howdy. So I’ve been running a 5e D&D game live at a table and another one on foundry. Both groups kind of collapsed over the holidays and that’s fine. I want to try a super hero RPG. I’ve been looking at Masks but it seems kind of teen focused which I’m not into. Does anyone know if this system is more adaptable than I’m giving it credit or if there is a better system they could recommend?

West End Games' DC Superheros

I never would have guessed that was a WEG game. But I played DC years (well kids years, which seemed like an eternity) before I played d6 Star Wars.

    The starwars d6 really worked as a system. Allowed for the really diverse characters of the starwars universe. Especially with the addition of advanced skills to allow for diversification. Much better than Wizards attempt in 3.5. I've heard good things about starwars on the few fate system, but haven't yet played it because I'm poor.

    The new Marvel 616 system uses a variation of the WEG d6 system.

    I have some of the Star Wars FATE books, but have not played it any because I am not a fan of proprietary dice. And the d6 system was pretty much perfect.

    Back when Wizards put out their Star Wars game my d6 group was really excited to try it. We did like half a session before everyone voted to go back to d6.
