[QUOTE="Legitamine Games, post: 9271319, member: 7039846"] Thank you Wofano for your comment and your interest in our game. You are correct, we don't feel that the 'superhero spandex + cape' trope captures our vision of having 'ordinary people gifted with extraordinary abilities'. Design-wise we have always aimed for balance between the role-playing and the action of the game. The mechanic of “Arc & Regression” offers players re-rolls based on their roleplay. This is the part that keeps you tethered to your human passions and ethics and themes such as self-discovery shine. We wanted to provide players with a vast list of superpowered options to enjoy the game however they like. The extensive list of over 500 metaphysical abilities we call Metapowers ensures players of all kinds can interact with the world in their preferred way. With Metanthropes you can enjoy everything from fast-paced Metapowered combat to the exploration of new dimensions, political maneuvering and more. We want to deliver this breadth of options as part of the Core game experience, and it will take some time before we get there. That is why our focus is currently on our campaign for an Introductory Zine. In the meantime, you may take a look at our [URL='https://www.instagram.com/legitamine/']Instagram page[/URL], where you can see all the 100 Metapowers and a short description of what they can do, to give you a better idea of what we have in store. You are also correct that our KS Page currently does not convey some messages very clearly, we will be reviewing and updating our page throughout the campaign. We will try to articulate our vision more clearly - as non-native English speakers it is somewhat difficult to summarize many years of labor into small & concise marketing messages - we will improve! We would be more than happy to answer any further questions you might have or provide any additional clarification. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
