Yeah, I enjoyed the game, but I'm afraid it's a bit niche in the rpg world in a genre that's already niche (supers). I think a few other things that caused my group to falter on it (and we've played a variety of Supers rpgs, including HERO, Mutants & Masterminds, Savage Worlds Supers, FASERIP)...

For my part, Everyday Heroes only came on my radar when the Kong and Pacific Rim books came out. I love giant monster stuff and over the years occasionally try to hack various game engines to run kaiju 1-shots. In the end, The Kong and Rim books both had some interesting ideas and lore, but I...

No, no gender implied in the class itself, just the art. I have the core book, but never played Everyday Heroes, but as a class design seems pretty solid

She's a Charisma based class depicted as a certain (how-shall-I-put-it) cosplayer theme inspired by the famous Harajuku street. She has various emotional and mental control abilities ("demoralize", "hypnotize"). -Edit- Beaten to the punch by the actual picture!

I played this a few times, but only in very short games with irregular groups. I’d play it more but I always have a hard time gathering players who like my off brand style of super heroing. 1. I was the moderator, I would have preferred splitting the duty but no one was familiar enough with...

Oh, the elves are there, they just rebranded and hoped you wouldn’t notice! 😝

I’m going to echo too some of the frustrations of Amber Diceless. It might not objectively be the worst rpg ever made but I’ve only had bad, game group ending experiences with it. I think the GM has to really be truly in tune with the game to run it fairly and interestingly. Something about the...

I thought the latest episode was an improvement over the last handful, but it felt like we should have gotten this amount of plot momentum about 3-4 episodes earlier. The main three modern characters have really become one-note (and almost interchangeable) at this point, I do wish the show had...

1. Wrath of Khan - it’s the only one I still watch once a year or so. That Horner soundtrack gets me pumped up everytime. 2. Star Trek VI - I feel like only at the end of their run did they figure out how to make a big adventure Trek movie. A fine send off for the TOS crew. And I’ve used that...

Planescape is my only 2023 WotC purchase, as I’m a huge fan of the 2e material. Prior to that I think it was Radiant Citadel, but after a disappointing Spelljammer and some questionable decisions by the company and very mixed reviews with their most recent books, I’ve been very hesitant with...

I just saw this movie today… an excellent film with a surprising amount of heart. If you have any love for the Big G and have the opportunity to see it at the cinema, please do! You won’t be sorry!

I’m part of both live and online groups. In live play we usually average around 6 hours, but only get to play once a month if we’re lucky. When online we typically only run 2 hour sessions, but usually play much more frequently. Its funny that for me, a 6 hour live game can feel “short”, but...

Even though I’ve used licensed engines (Marvel, DC) I realized I’ve never actually played in a licensed setting. I guess it feels like there’s too much established lore and characters to compete with. On the other hand, I’ve definitely reskinned plenty of existing characters, eg Colossus...

They were around level 8 at the end of Pool. I did milestone leveling, so they usually gained a level each time they cleared out a major section of old Phlan.

Fair point, but since we were playing with miniatures and lots of tokens anyway, I’d just stick a red “bloodied” bead next to the injured ones, so it saved me some hp tracking.

I used to play in a ton of Champions games, ranging the full genre gamut from four color tights to paranormals hunted by shadow government agents, but I wouldn’t ever play in a system that crunchy again. These days my gaming groups only dabble with super hero one shots. We tried a few engines...

I don’t run a lot of games set in the Realms, but coincidentally the last one I did was both Pool of Radiance (Ruins of Adventure) run back to back with Curse of the Azure Bonds. I updated both for 5e and took the characters from Level 1 to 14

I’ve never incorporated real holidays in my D&D games, but I have done adventures set during fictional festivals. I did, however, once ran a super hero game that involved our heroes saving the holidays from criminals dressed up like Santa Claus and his elves.

I tried a similar thing in my 4e games, but with the twist that if the damage was below the damage threshold, the minion became “bloodied”. A second hit on a bloodied minion would then kill them. What this did was take away some of the sting the players felt when hitting a foe but not doing...

Thank you for the campaign summary. It's not too dissimilar to our own table's experience. We're now running 5e with some A5e elements mixed in, mainly using Culture/Heritage, the option to use A5e or original classes/subclasses, mixing the monsters from either source, and adding in the new...
