E.g. FASERIP's karma system was a revelation to me back in the day. And that's something Champions does not have out of the box. Luckily, a hero point system isn't hard to tack on and I have my own house rules for them now.Some sort of system for "natural"* disasters is a good idea. Again, I will note that my two favourite supers games, Champions and FASERIP, do not have such a thing. You're expected to model scenario's by extrapolating from the basic rules. And you can. But it would save a lot of work if they had some guidelines.Super PCs really benefit from connection to the world. (I think all RPGs benefit from this, but for supers it's essential.) So a mechanism for connecting the character to the game world is needed. Champions disadvantages system does the job quite nicely; but the RAW could make it clearer for players that that is what it's for. Interpersonal drama between PCs is an important trope. But I struggle to think of how one can put this into a game system; other than basing it on disadvantages.*The inverted commas are because this is a supers game. When there's an earthquake there's every reason to suspect Mole People. Frankly, I always suspect Mole People.</blockquote>
