Supers20 Q&A

[Vigilance]

So, I've continued the Modern20 trend of talking about books really early on. In this case, you're getting a look at my thoughts when the manuscript is on page 4.

As always, questions and comments are welcome.

Interesting.

Is this the Modern20 "version" of Blood and Vigilance or something completely new?

It's going to be very different. It will still have the same selection of powers, but will be entirely feats and skills based. No power points, no power stunts, etc.

Also, no new classes (obviously).

cool.
Any setting (as with Fantasci) or more of a fluff-free toolkit for Supers games?

There will be a setting for it, Dark Future, which is a future where mutants have been imprisoned by a fearful government.

Well, this might just be the one thing that trips me over to the Modern20 system.

I still wish you had an option for damage save like True20.

Will there be advise/rules for different types of superhero campaigns (four color, grim & gritty, cosmic, ect); such as generating Ability Scores and selecting powers?

Any new Backgrounds and/or Occupations based on Supers gameplay?

Will Character Disadvantages handle comic book-style disadvantages like vulnerability to certain types of attacks or weakness to "things" that wouldn't normally be damaging?

In general, how is superhero equipment handled, like powered armor or special weapons?

Will there be sample characters covering the usual Supers types (Brick, Blaster, Speedster, ect.)?

Will the use of Action Points be expanded or changed in any way for Supers gameplay?

Will the Dark Future setting be a part of Supers20 or be offered seperately?

That about covers my questions...I think.

Whew, well, let's take this one at a time...

Will there be advise/rules for different types of superhero campaigns (four color, grim & gritty, cosmic, ect); such as generating Ability Scores and selecting powers?

Yes.

Any new Backgrounds and/or Occupations based on Supers gameplay?

Probably.

Will Character Disadvantages handle comic book-style disadvantages like vulnerability to certain types of attacks or weakness to "things" that wouldn't normally be damaging?

Definitely.

In general, how is superhero equipment handled, like powered armor or special weapons?

Not sure. I don't think a Blood and Circuits type system is appropriate. I do agree that it needs to be addressed. I have considered just handling such things as individual powers though.

Will there be sample characters covering the usual Supers types (Brick, Blaster, Speedster, ect.)?

Yes.

Will the use of Action Points be expanded or changed in any way for Supers gameplay?

Hm, not sure, but if I have any ideas along these lines, then yes.

Will the Dark Future setting be a part of Supers20 or be offered seperately?

This will probably be separate.

That about covers my questions...I think.

Thanks for asking!

When can we hope to see dark future and Supers20 hitting the shelves.. I see that they are on the "Next Up" list... but how close is close?
