Echoes of the Multiverse

No personal connection to this KS, but looks fun and there are a few cool add-ons available too! It’s nearly there, please consider checking out the link if so inclined.

Anyone who might nurse a fondness for Roy Thomas' gone but unforgotten All-Star Squadron or the Golden Age also-rans from Dynamite Comics' Project Superpowers may want to check this out: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/standard-comics/the-sentinels-silver-age-first-issue?fbclid=IwAR0TMoVirF24lh...

I've always thought that The Conquerors (HERO system's EUROSTAR) were more interesting than they appear on the surface, a sentiment which the CHAMPIONS editors/writers must share, as the villain-team has consistently appeared throughout the official setting's various editions and revisions, though t...

It seemed like we had a small communication problem here, since we seemed to agree on most points anyway. Everyone involved stayed within the boundaries of common manners and I thank you for that. Let us get over this debate and don't post about it, it is unlikely to bring joy to any of us. Next po...

Always sad news. Yes, Kevin is something of an infamous figure in the industry for his near-legendary stubbornness and manic-impromptu approaches to editing and marketing, particularly when it came to the RIFTs line-up. But I've never heard anything negative about the man outside of the TTRPG indust...

And in addition:

All sorts of solid products for a fraction of the normal cost, along with a whopping 90% of the purchase price going to support Owen's treatment!

I do realize this is not specifically related to M&M, or even superhero RPGs in general, but industry talent and (from all accounts) utter gentlemen Owen K.C> Stevens has been battling cancer for several months now. As a largely freelance writer/developer, this has been terribly financially hard...

Don't get me started on Defensive Roll. "Wait, for the same price, I could just buy ranks of Protection and it would work all the time!" My house rule is that Defensive Roll gives +2 to Toughness, while two ranks provides a +5 Bonus, no other ranks available. In the Valiant rules, I suppo...

Haven't seen anything about that yet, Davies...would you elaborate? Faith has Benefit (secret identity.) Okay, so Benefit (alternate identity) was already extant, and this is probably what they're aiming for, but I'm worried that they're going to insist that anyone who has a secret identity, howeve...

My fingers are crossed that those advantages are just restrictive options, such as "this advantage is only a Reaction to use, but it's limited to once per turn," rather than changing the way Reactions work in general. But the multiple dice mechanic is important from DnD5, so maybe one-rea...

My reflections as Astro City , following Jab's build sets: First of all, I'd almost forgotten the first issue was all the back a trifle over 28 years ago; I suppose part of it is just me getting older, but the other may be that the series went in fits and starts, over multiple publishers, different ...

Okay, so Invulnerability as a power might not exist after all. Alex Thomas has posted on the Reddit indicating that there's going to be "an Extra you can purchase for individual character's Protection Effects called Hardened. For 1 pt/rank, if you gain two or more Degrees of Success on your Da...

Looking back, Atomicus really just comes off as temperamental and erratic in his behaviors, since at certain points in the comic he seems to enjoy and egg on their “game”, almost daring her to expose him, then throwing a massive tantrum when she did. I also agree he seems to combine the Atom-Age/Sil...

Hmmm…pretty solid build, and good grasp of character building; likely the one problematic power is the Blood Drain, because it’s frankly going to be ineffective against any non-civilian NPC, so you don’t get much value from the points; maybe tweak it a little so the GM will let you put it into your ...
