Announcing the BAMFSIES - a RPG awards focused on superhero RPGS

"There's a renaissance going on with supers RPGs right now"

There is?

If nothing else, investigating the top votes on the BAMF site has led me to purchase a few more products. So... yay for building the industry!

A friend of mine once observed that GURPS was the most popular system no one ever played, because we all owned the books and enjoyed reading the books, but none of us were planning a GURPS campaign ...

I have at least 8 GURPS source/world books and one copy of the core rules, but of course never played it. But I was a big fan of their setting stuff.

I'm a huge fan of Supers RPGs. And I'd love to run one, but all my attempts to entice players so far have resulted in a resounding "Meh."

I retain hope that it'll happen someday.

I'm frustratingly close to being able to run a one-shot of Icons, but our current D&D 5e adventure—which I'm playing, not running—keeps stretching on. I'm hoping they enjoy it enough that we can alternate D&D and some sort of superhero game. (I'm thinking BASH! might work better for a longform campaign.)
