I don't think Superhero is determined by power level, personally, but by ethics and behavior.

Cap despondent as left out of chat...

Well, no one would say Cap, Bucky, or Black Widow aren't superheroes. But I could see running a Winter Soldier type game in Godlike/Wild Talents.

And all other digital products. I hope not, but realize that's a vain hope. They've tried to tax digital products in certain municipalities, but I think most of those fell by the wayside. I hope this does too.

Yeah, I didn't mean the concepts - I meant doing it in 40k with all that entails. I realize that spice and interplanetary transport and the guilds are one interpretation- there are several in other book series. But 40k just hits different...

Same here. Thankfully, I caught myself before I spent an insane amount to get the same books just so I could have a PDF.

That's why I said, I personally didn't care. It wasn't even Invincible level in all honesty. It was just the genre with superpowers, sort of like the best (IMO) Marvel movies, where you take the genre, and add what if powers.

I use it pretty extensively also - I have a sort of investigative board in it for my Impossible Landscapes proto-delta green game. I also used it my Sci-Fi conspiracy game to set up the who's who, their motivations, and how they interact and connect It's very flexible and I highly...

Are you kidding? Because if you aren't, then I low-key want to see it...

You say that you aren't, but poo-pooing any reason that others might not want to do it out of hand saying that's not an issue or an obstacle to be overcome, or portraying it as a 'player problem', does seem like you are...

I personally didn't care. I like the idea of supers in a world where they weren't inherently protected by the fact that they were supers. There are also alternate rules for Wild Talent and GURPS (where you don't have that problem, either) that make it more survivable.

It doesn't have to be this way. We played a bloody street-level supers games where death was just as possible as it was in other genres. We also played WW2 supes using Godlike, and let me tell you, there's no plot armor in Godlike.

The reason it confused me is because Demiplane and Roll20 are owned by the same company, but I get the divide now.

I thought it wasn't Roll20 based, but Demiplane/Nexus. Or is that just the digital reading platform?

can you give a summary of them and what they bring? I read the summary on Warehouse 13 and couldn't really grok what it was.

Though that's one way to do it, it's not the only way and not an absolute. One of my favorite games doesn't follow that paradigm and I've hacked the idea for a superhero game and it worked well... Ars Magica. It really depends on the type of game you want to play and that will work for your players

That's just following FFGs example, it appears.
