Echoes of the Multiverse

Sounds like the Sleight of Hand Skill to me…

So… Precise Insubstantial with a descriptor? But that's not insubstantial, insubstantial is going through objects. Nothing in insubstantial actually says you can't feel them either. I’m hard pressed to think of any descriptor that would apply to Insubstantial that wouldn’t include “can’t be felt.” ...

Affliction makes for a much more efficient to play smoke bomb than a Concealment Attack: Smoke Bomb Affliction X ( Resist: Awareness; Recover: Awareness; Conditions: Impaired, Disabled, Unaware; E: Area [Cloud], Cumulative; Flaw: Instant Recovery, Limited to Visual Senses) [ 1 PP per Rank ] Ehhh. I ...

So… Precise Insubstantial with a descriptor?

honestly I wish there was tactile immunity for people who can do things like pickpocket you, place something on you, or otherwise do some benign interaction you won't notice without actually seeing the after effects. Like a limited Insidious modifier. That’s what the Sleight of Hand Skill is for. M...

I was actually just talking about Alex Kidd a few days ago! I was an NES/SNES kid, but a friend of mine down the road was a Sega Master System kid and got a Genesis when it first released… Before Sonic! So I have some very vague memories of playing Alex Kidd. Although if you think poor Alex got upst...

Which is a useful benefit in, say, Shadowrun or some other setting where going into secured environments or even just a dive bar with a bouncer is a somewhat regular occurrence… But in RIFTS? How often are the players ever going to in a situation where they need to exit their giant war-robots, let a...

Concealment (Visual) is probably the only Effect in M&M3e that I do consider to be under-costed. Concealment (Auditory) is probably fine and Concealment (Olfactory)… well, honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it purchased standalone, only ever seems to be used when a build has already gone so ...

Well… I suppose the first question is why do you feel the need to create a new system? There are dozens of different superhero RPG systems already on the market.

Shifters are a cool idea, on paper, since summoning extraplanar nasties is such a key trope of pulp fantasy and the weird sci-fantasy genres. Shifters also look pretty damn cool in the artwork, always bringing these massive Old Ones-esque critters and heavy metal album cover demons through giant glo...

I’m hardly going to pretend to be an expert… Just the opinion of one rando on the internet. But the MCU Namor and the Earth-616 Namor both use the same battle cry of “Imperius Rex!” They’re both absolute monarchs of massive militaristic kingdoms, both seem to see single combat as the ideal form of b...

My baseline test for a movie is “Did I get a level of entertainment that makes me feel the price of the ticket was worth it?” and I do feel that Quantumania was worth it. It’s my least favorite MCU film, to date, but it wasn’t a bad movie… It was just a bad MCU movie. But the MCU is a really large “...

Talokan vs Wakanda war seemed quite unnecessary and fruitless. I think that Namor pushing for a war between Talokan and Wakanda was suppossed to feel unnecessary. For all his claims about oppression and victimization, Namor and the Talokanians(?) were still clearly carrying on with their Meso-Ameri...

When I made my homemade DC/Marvel mashup, I wrote myself a list of twenty-five heroes from both companies that I wanted to include and a list of fifty villains from each. That way I could write-up a loose timeline for the setting, establish a couple of super-teams, and have a good pool of baddies to...
