Not exactly what you’re describing, but my best campaign ever was essentially a sandbox. But I didn’t design it from the ground up. It was a supers game run in HERO, but using the Space:1889 campaign setting. But I didn’t simply use it as written. Instead, I added a bunch of thematically...

A weird west American expansion era supers game could be good, assuming you don’t have high power levels. Gunslingers with super speed or super accuracy, John Henry dialed up to 11, a scaled down version of Paul Bunyan & Babe, would be just beyond the western’s traditional norms. And don’t...

Something in there isn’t MARVELous.🫤 😂

Kidding (mostly) aside, considering the legendary attributes and achievements of ancient Greek heroes in general, a low-powered supers campaign set during the siege of Troy, the Odyssey, or the journey of Jason & the Argonauts could be VERY entertaining.

“Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering vamp; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then go to pieces, while...

I just heard that Starfish Hitler is playing a 3 week double bill residency with Mission Creep at the Hernandez-Shabazz Memorial Biergarten & Rec Center in Cleveland, MS.

Never done those either.

Something popped into my head: The Marvel Literary Universe. Imagine classic literary fiction, but with supers. Emily Brontë: Wolverine Heights Fyodor Dostoyevsky: Crime & Punisher George Orwell: Fantastic 1984 William Shakespeare: Much Ado About The Thing Mark Twain: Ultron Sawyer

This opened a mental door! I almost never buy & read fiction I know to be based on RPGs or most “geeky” TV shows or movies. (I do watch some tv & movies based on geeky stories, though.) The only exceptions I can recall: 1) I have read short fiction published in gaming magazines. 2) I bought...

Mine: “Did you get her faun number?” Not mine: “I’ve been killed by worse!”

I started in 77-78, but my collection didn’t expand much beyond D&D, Traveller, and Champions until the early 1990s. At that point, it exploded! By the turn of the century, I owned books from 200 different RPGs. And there it stood for a good decade or so, when I finally divested myself of...

POW! Right in the Jangos!

“I want a great detective! “Shush- we have a great detective at Holmes!”

“Who are you?” “Jeg er Ra!”

2nd thought it’s this show, but played straight:

The RW town in which it’s located is the inspiration for 90% for Stephen King’s writings.

My Brothers in Dice, do you remember the art for D&D 2Ed Legends & Lore’s Egyptian Pantheon?
