Eh, I'd say you could balance the items. Hat of Wizardy is at common, the bow could just have the Repeating Shot infusion permanently on it, the shield could have Enhanced Defense, the staff is a combo of Rope of Mending and the Pole of Collapsing. They'd be SLIGHTLY above the standard power...

You deal Radiant damage while raging, effectively have Detect Good & Evil always on, and... I don't know, immunity to charms?

Okay, Diana should have been a monk (the new outfit is a decent change, though. I was imagining a slightly disco-tinged Beau, anyway), Presto should be using his hat as his focus (which is a thing in 5E: Xanathar's Guide to Everything), Hank should be firing energy arrows, I'd have given Eric a...

Depends on your definition of 'superhero'. MOST of my characters end up as some form of detective, with the magic users leaning towards a less-angsty John Constantine. Hell, one (a Pallid Elf Tome-bound Warlock of the Fiend) sold his soul to a devil. Not as bad as you'd think, Ms. Erin Avarnum...

My first thoughts are either Passions or Dark Shadows. At least those had supernatural elements.

Oh hey, look. New book. You want to have combat in 24XX directly outlined for you and/or want a goofy, 'tournament arc', one-shot to run? Well, here you are.

And yet another. If anyone was looking for an on-ramp from D&D/PF or a simple intro to Fantasy gaming, then today may be your lucky day.

And there's another one...

Its a wonder what you can squeeze onto three pages. I've been recently binge reading a growing series of tiny Indie RPGs from one Jason Tocci, simply titled 2400. These 15+, three-page-plus-cover, books are all settings for a very elegant system. Roll a 1d6. If hindered: downgrade and roll...

Oh, neat. Never played the series, but I've seen a couple of reviews/essays on it. A rich setting to pull from. And I second giving stats to the Beast. If you've never seen the game... Its a... bioweapon. I'd rather not spoil its full MO... Give this and its following installment a watch...

And, of course, Bards. Nothing but DM Fiat stopping them from making a form of Exotic Dance their performing art of choice.

Yeah, I've always been of the "crunch informs fluff" and "crunch reflects fluff" schools. If you want your PC to be viable in a harsh, usually combative, environment while seemingly ill equipped for said environment, I prefer some justification for it. For examples: the 5E classes who can get...

You may be on luck. Chaosium themselves bought out Cubical 7's, non-Laundry, CoC lines after C7 let their BRP license lapse. These include Cthulhu Britannica (Classic/Jazz Era England including a big box set on London) and World War Cthulhu (The Great War to the Cold War, if I'm remembering...

The opposite end of the 'humanity/essence' idea would be Eclipse Phase, where the bulk of transhumanity are infomorphs that barely got beamed off Earth when the AI uprising happened. While swapping egos from a basic bot morph or your digital Eidolon emulator to a cybernetically augmented sun...

I agree with others, this feels like a setting for an existing system then a full stand-alone. Fate or cinematic GURPS would work. Also, said settings main draw being Lara herself and not much else. TRs lore is mostly public domain, 'the myths are true' stuff.

So, are they bringing SW in line with the rest of the Genesys books? I'm fairly certain SW was basically the dry run for the system and has its own early iteration quirks. Also, is L5R running on Genesys or its own thing?

Hold on, yeah. The world becomes obsessed with D&D overnight. The hobby store is the size of a full mall, Campaigns are being broadcast like sports games, and monsters from the Manual start invading.

I was an X-Play kid, personally. It was fun watching the reviews and sketches. So many dead interns... And freaking Ratty the puppet!

Didn't that second Rick & Morty vs D&D comic make this exact joke?

I'm always a Fate Core shill and this seems like a prime setting for it. Rules light, narrative heavy. Maybe even with Caroline & Tuesday as a Fate Accelerated sister game.
