I'd be happy to develop him elsewhere if you want to for the fun of it. Perhaps in the websites dedicated forum? You have some great concepts here. I think you are over-complicating things. Let me think about it some more.

Rogues Gallery for Artifice City. I may use this OP to post some details on Artifice City, and/or opponents. The current players are: Fireinthedust - Doctor Nexus - Maj. Sir Nethaddeus Cavor, MD, PhD etc (mutated Genius in armour) Mark Chance - American Dreamer - Aiden O'Leary (Former police...

I'm going to heavily frag Jemal's last post, hopefully this will provide some clarity. If you said all these things, I would say "Your Talent is doding to much" talents are meant to be narrow. If it "doesn't stop cold" it probably doesn't stop heat either and potentially other things as well...

OK lots to cover here, might not get to it all in one post. We could devise another way - but I am not sure we need to. There is the limitation that you can normally only pool 2 particular Talents together once per confrontation. If you wanted to be able to do it more than once, we could have a...

Still looks like a 3 to me . . . Tractor beam would be neat. Though it would be a little powerful at rank 2. You also should have some limitation -- can it only pull things towards Doctor Nexus? Hmm, I'm having trouble understanding your point here. Considering it doesn't really give him much...

Doing something for the sole reason of its benefit to you is not good. The Ultimate Good Act requires sacrificing something (often just your time) for the sole purpose of benefiting someone else -- with an important caveat -- no one besides yourself can be inconvenienced or hurt by your...

Neat concept. I could go either way on this. I would be slightly concerned that we might be touching some 'real world religious issues' that might offend some folks. I believe we are supposed to avoid this on these boards . . . I'm pretty religious and I'm not at all easy to offended, but I'm...

Honestly, he's a really neat character and I like how you have worked the Talents. There would probably be some small tweaks. I can tell you put quite a bit of work and creativity into him. My concern is that his concept is pretty dark, and that's a poor fit for the particular Universe that we...

Walking Dad; Hmmm, I am happy walk you through any questions you may have. In the hopes of peaking your interest, here is a rendition of Yarko the Great. The Mystic/inventor/green lantern type character who can do almost anything they can imagine is a more complex character to model. If your...

@Mark Chance; nice! Two comments: Pre-cognitive. Normally we don't have traits which are clearly inhuman at rank two. I am happy have you with this Talent at rank two with the understanding that it is a strongly mixed blessing. The dreams will sometimes be mis-leading, prevent your character...

I'll help each character with a superpower finesse rating once we have settled their final set of Talents. American Dreamer: 1. I'd encourage you to take at least one Relation to a person or people. Its good to have some variety here. His siblings and Dad are good candidates. Taking all Values...

@fireinthedust: Four points: 1. Doctor Nexus has one to many rank 3 Talents. It should be a rank two. Keep in mind that rank two doesn't really allow for inhuman traits. 2. Morphic form is primarily a weakness, you can probably have a two there. I would suggest something like 'alien biology'...

You could indeed pool 'parkour' with attack or defensive actions (and more creative actions as well). There is a limit to how often you can do this sort of thing, basically once* per confrontation. *this isn't accurate it depends on how many other Talents you have which you could feasibly...

This is the 'official' thread for the game. As the GM, having the first post is very helpful.

I started a new recruitment thread here. Glad you picked it up and have been enjoying it so far. Happy to discuss game design concepts. As for Iron Man Note that the [H] indicates that a talent is hard-tech. Hard-tech gives a bonus die in narrow circumstances but has a number of...

If you've always wanted to make your own Superhero - This Game is for You. Recruiting? Well this is an old thread, and I primarily wanted to let everyone know who was interested in the past that Simple Superheroes is now on Kickstarter. But if there is a bunch of interest . . . who knows? Maybe...

Their is a lot of added nuance and examples in the rulebook, that being said there it is also very open-ended. There should be a pretty high degree of interaction with the GM during character creation. This helps ensure that we are all on the same page about what a particular talent can do. I...

Thanks:) Yarko the Great sounds pretty cool. Hi-tech characters and Mystics actually have some things in common in terms of mechanics. This is because they are both extremely flexible. Yarko seems to have the ability to cast almost anything, which is fine. Mechanically you need to have two...

Neat concept Fireinthedust. You may not be able to realize all these ideas as a 'starting character.' The system is built with lots of room for characters to grow. (You may not want to start with flying monkeys for example). But we can get into the particulars later. I plan on launching a new...

Just a quick note to say that I am thinking of gearing this towards 'City-level' heroes. So flying characters probably can't fly across the entire city in a few seconds. If you think Spider-man and the kind of foes he fights that's probably appropriate. You can have some pretty wacky powers...
