Silver Age Superhero RTD
« on: July 20, 2019, 06:10:02 pm »

Comic books were a pretty crazy place back in the day. A paragon of truth and justice would have an entire story devoted to meeting a monkey wearing the same costume, or playing amateur baseball, or even taking over the world, none of which are really superheroic activities. And it all goes back to normal by the next issue. Sounds kind of like an RTD, doesn’t it?

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

But before monkeys, or baseball, or world domination, each superhero has to have an origin story. No superhero starts out as an established force, and few games work well without a little testing of the mechanics.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

I’m running a game/mechanics test called Fate/Mechanics Test. Feel free to check it out.

Ah, whoops. It seems there's been a misunderstanding @Dustan @Shadowclaw @Fallacy. Skills are mundane things like "Detective Work" or "Brawling". The Catalyst section describes what your powers are. The Magnitude stat represents how strong they are. The Precision stat represents how much control you have over them.

So, would it be accurate to assume we can't be an already established hero?
