If random people began developing super-powers, wouldn't the police try to recruit a few of them? That's the basis of Mutant City Blues; the characters aren't super-heroes, but police with a superpower (or a few powers), trying to maintain law and order. Powers have a tendency to make the owner crazy, so players have to balance a desire for abilties with a need to stay sane and on the force. Investigation is handled cinematically; players get all the clues automatically, and have to puzzle out what they mean. This eliminates the 'a single failed die roll derails the plot' problem inherent in such story lines. Innovative and good. ( )
