Is “Simply Supers” by DumpStat Studios (brand new on DTRPG, no preview available) affiliated in any way w/ Simply6?

i ask because I believe that exact name was proposed earlier in this thread.

No connection, and looking at it it's a different system.

What would be a good ganging-up / pack tactics bonus, for when multiple allied combatants team up vs one target?

Also, did you ever decide on how ties are broken? Thx -

I would equate that to the example higher ground bonus -- a Judge adjudicated +1d6.

No. But I'd say the higher level wins. If the same level, the higher score in that skill. If the same skill, roll 1d6.

Playing with the character sheet concept. I like the idea of a credit card sized sheet.

1.7 looking better and better - really shaping up.

Typo/confusing:

"Within the cave mouth is [a] crumbling overhang" > "A section of the cave floor is undercut and crumbling."

How is movement handled? I was imagining something abstract like range bands: Close (adjacent, melee weapons), Medium (several yards away) and Long (dozens of yards away) with 1 Movement action required to Move one range band. Firing missiles suffer -1d at target’s at Long Ranged, and +1d6 at Close range.

It's even more abstract than that -- the GM pretty much decides if you can move somewhere in a turn.

Long range (as adjudicated by the GM) does indeed count as a complication inflicting a -1d6 penalty (see page 2).
