Beyond Human: Progress Report
Every day brings us a little closer to release day. Today was about defining the attributes better and working on the rules for Pushing and Channelling powers.
New Project: Beyond Human
New? I’ve been working on this for a while. 2008. I wrote that in 2008. The project has advanced. It’s now 70 pages which puts it as the largest book I’ve made to date. The premise is that it’s a grounded superhero game. I mean, as grounded as superhero games can really be. It’s got…

I’ve been working on this for a while now – and just waiting on a few art pieces to be finished. So, what is it?

We were planning to start a new group and play a Supers game (Godlike was the original proposal), and before you know it we…

Superheroics
I’ve been reading a lot and prepping my ‘superhero’ game and though I love the concept of GODLIKE and Wild Talents, it’s really turned into an exercise of accountancy. I don’t like point buy systems which encourage you to minmax. I’m frustrated by this because I can’t therefore find a system I want to use….
23L Superhumans
Having some spare time yesterday evening I resurrected some of my notes for ‘superpowers’ in T23L. It wasn’t part of the plan to have 23L superhumans – though I was accused by Jeremy of writing my own ‘supers’ game when we published The 23rd Letter. We did have quasi-superhumans in the form of the Furies…
