Heya BB, no session logs, Im not nearly organized enough for that, but I have posted several villains from upcoming products, mostly the upcoming WWII supers campaign model. Id also like to do an enemies book in the future, which is looking more likely, since the book is selling pretty dang...

The default save DC for most powers is 15+ power level, unless otherwise listed. Thanks for the compliment! Chuck

As promised, the RPGObjects Summer Spectacular has begun with the first supplement: Whispers in the Dark! In this street-level campaign model, the PCs are gifted with magical abilities, recruited and trained by a mysterious sorcerer to combat the cult of an elder god that is spreading its...

I wouldn't use the construct traits from the SRD. I'd just stat a character up like I would any other type of character. Characters like the Vision are just supers. In general, robot supers are self aware and as prone to being confused, mentally attacked and such as any other type of...

Chris Davis and Charles Rice recently recorded a podcast all about their latest book, Supers20. Check it out for a detailed look at this latest release for Modern20! Download the podcast here.

Seconded.

Psion was kind enough to review Modern20 over at RPGNow. He gave the game 4 stars and gave me permission to repost his conclusions here: The full text of the review can be found here. Thanks Psion!

I cant explain WHY, but I do know it goes way back. I remember there was a fantasy RPG in the 1e era (name escapes me) whose tagline in their Dragon Magazine ads was NO ELVES. I think in 1e the hate was based on how cheesy and broken multi-classing was, and since elves could TRIPLE CLASS they...

So I just finished the 5th installment of the WWII campaign model, meaning that the Summer Spectacular of weekly dispatches is a go for at least 6 weeks!

In honor of the release of Supers20 the Modern Dispatch, RPGObjects e-zine that has published 120 issues and counting is going weekly again! For the next 6 weeks, RPGObjects will release a supers-themed dispatch issue each week. First up, Whispers in the Dark, a street-level magic campaign...

The super add-on for RPGObjects Modern20 modern OGL system has been released! This book covers powers, equipment and campaign models appropriate for a modern20 supers game and includes numerous NPCs, along with the following campaign models: Countdown Killer, track down a meta-human killer...

Amen brother. Secret Invasion has been driving me CRAZY. I dont actually get the mini-series, but I am subscribed to both avengers books, and Bendis is writing all these "between the raindrops" stories. It's driving me insane. Id rather be lost. Last issue? How did Henry Pym become a skrull...

This is a thread for folks to ask questions about my upcoming Modern20 sourcebook, Supers20. Here's the basics: 1. What system is this for? Supers20 is for the Modern20 modern rules variant I did awhile back, which has proved to be very popular. That said, this is an OGL book and should...

Well, I'm not saying nothing has changed. I just feel like writers now are doing the same things started by Claremont and Miller, and heck, we'll throw in Marv Wolfman for his New Teen Titans run too. More dramatic writing (less exposition- writing like a screenplay), more serious tone, more...

I also contend that the current age of comics has actually been going on for about 20 years. I think it started with the Claremont/Byrne X-men run and the Miller Daredevil run. Those runs were darker and more serious in tone, with a greater emphasis on dramatic storytelling (as in, like a...

But you can have general archetypes as well. D&D's archetypes for example, are fairly generic, especially when you look at the more basic classes. Fighter, Mage, Thief and Cleric work for fantasy campaigns from Feudal Japan to Ancient Greece to the Arabian Nights. As a matter of fact, I think...

You're confusing the d20 Modern method of classes, with classes as a concept. d20 Modern did the fantasy equivalent of making everyone begin in a sub-par NPC class (warrior, aristocrat, expert) and stay there for three levels. I dont think that would be popular in D&D either. That wouldn't...

You forgot Frank Miller. He could definitely take the place of one of your multiple Warrens.

You could almost call the current age of comics the Second Bronze Age, because a lot of modern writers like Brian Bendis and Ed Brubaker and Grant Morrison are consciously harkening back to the 70's and 80's and trying to recapture the magic brought into comics by Chris Claremont, Marv Wolfman...

Not currently, no, sorry for that. Right now we're really focusing all our efforts on Modern20 and we're not really a big enough design house to do more than that. Apologies for any inconveniences that's caused folks.
