    What makes a successful superhero game?

    SIGH This thread is whetting my appetite for playing in a supers game again. I haven’t been on the player side of a GM screen in a supers game in more than 20 years. And the last one I ran was still more than a decade ago.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Re: “Vibe coding” I’m thinking thats not gonna work out well. I recently saw a guy talking about a mass of code he asked AI to generate that “looked beautiful”, but was completely nonfunctional. Unfortunately, I can’t find it now, but I did find these tales of woe...

    Mod Note: With respect, y’all, this thread is less about how we feel about a certain person’s passing and more about simply noting their passing. Emojis are fine; editorializing is…problematic. Especially when the person is extremely polarizing. Looking back at the history of these threads...

    Mod Note: That’s a short but excellent example of “making things personal”. Don’t do it again, or I’ll have to “be Dannyalcatraz” in here.🤔

    IMHO, Mr. Wells is probably the most important folk singer of his generation.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was a high-flying philosophy student in my undergrad days. Studied a little bit of most systems. My big takeaway was that most philosophers I studied got something right, but nobody had an airtight answer for everything. So my own personal philosophical viewpoint kind of echoes Jeet Kune...

    What makes a successful superhero game?

    Seems so, because: This isn’t something I’ve seen up close & personal. The players “probably” not playing their PC’s established personality without mechanical reinforcement, that is.

    What makes a successful superhero game?

    To me, that’s kind of the “role-play” aspect of the superheoic genre, not really the mechanics. So the GM has to present the players with options to do heroic things beyond punching Prof. Terribad in the face. But then the players have to make the decisions to perform those heroic acts beyond...

    What makes a successful superhero game?

    Can confirm. I was part of a GURPS: VtM playtest, and ran a Brujah whose build involved maxing out his physical stats (Potence; Celerity) and his generation (he had been taken by an ancient vampire). But his Embrace also drove him insane- he thought he was a superhero because of his physical...

    🏳️‍🌈Pride Month- Celebrating Representation in TTRPGs (2024)

    As a PoC who started gaming in ‘77, I can relate to the inclusivity issue quite well, even though I’m a little too brown to passé blanc. And I’ll say this: even though I was never a homophobe, I did ape their behaviors and language- peer pressure is a bitch. It wasn’t until my sophomore year...
