The Marvel RPG I am reviewing here is no longer in production, the company stopped producing this RPG many years ago. The Saga version is based on a system that Was also used for an old Dragon lance set, it uses a fate deck witch is extremely difficult to track down. Although not easily located this system is also very good for creating really creative superheroes. and in my opinion the best feature of this system is that you do not use dice. Don't get me wrong id rather be rolling dice than just about anything out there, but I have to admit dice don't like me. With this system I don't have to rely on a random chance of success, I can look at a set of 3 or more outcomes to the situation based on the current cards in my hand. using my current cards I chose what kind of power level im performing at. with this system you take your base stat ( generated at character creation ) add in a card from your hand, and the total is compared to the difficulty set by the GM. so if I have a 6, a 2, and a 10 I can decide if I want to give up my high card and perform amazingly, or throw off my low card and barley eek by.
