The sustained powers are very, very cool and add a very exciting dimension to the game. You truly did an excellent job of picking a really cool set of powers. As I've said before, it always amazes me how you are able to improve your games so much during the course of your interactive revisionism here.

And this less-redundant, more-concise version is still very clear when it comes to explaining how Attacks and Damage Control work.

Well, time to replace the old version of Supers Brawl yet again... LOL

Peace, Errin : )

Thanks for all the encouragement!

Errin! Thanks man! You may want to download again as I made some tiny corrections to the sustained powers descriptions... also, I made use of that blank page near the back to add a few sample characters! This is really starting to be just what I want now!! At this point you may not have another version to download for some time... it's really vital that I get some play testing done to see how all this works, especially in light of the new powers!! Wish me luck!!

I don't even really have to offer comments so much anymore - you seem to have a solid idea of where you want to take this game (and are doing it!). I really like where this is at, but who knows what else you will add :)

You should be very happy with your project, it is really good.

Regarding Feedback ...

Submitted by Jeff Moore on Fri, 2007-09-14 09:17.

It's true that I do feel like I have a handle on where I'm going with this game system... that hardly means I'm not open to feedback. I am always open to suggestions, ideas for new powers, ways to implement new rules or rules changes. Or even editing comments... (I just found a major typo that has been carried through since the first post of Supers-Brawl in the "Continuing to evolve my ideas..." blog. But I don't have the working copy with me today so I will have to fix it later... probably won't happen before Sunday.) I'd also love to hear ideas for sample characters, a world setting, scenario ideas for the battle portion of the game or adventure ideas for the RPG... There's so much more left still to do!!

Quick question

Submitted by ErrinF on Fri, 2007-09-14 12:38.

How would you feel about me making a sourcebook of super NPCs for Supers Brawl? I had fun recently making a variant for MACE, as it was the first time I worked on an addition to somebody else's game. Might be fun to do the same in this case too.

I am quite into the notion of superheroic RPGs being accompanied by a sourcebook of superheroes and/or supervillains. The Enemies books were a great addition to Champions, the Most Wanted books were a great addition to Villains & Vigilantes, and I had a fun time creating sourcebooks for my own superheroic RPG Crime Fighter.

I'll be going on vacation soon, but I'd still be interested in making a sourcebook of sample characters for Supers Brawl either before or after my vacation. That is, if you are partial to the notion. If you'd rather not have such a sourcebook made for Supers Brawl at this point in time, no worries... this is just an idea off the top of my head.

Peace, Errin : )

And as far as power suggestions go...

Submitted by ErrinF on Fri, 2007-09-14 12:45.

Is there any power that helps with exhaustion? Either the healing of or avoidance of? Upon a quick scan, I cannot find any such power, but maybe I'm just spacing on a part I've already read.

About the only other thing I can think about powerwise is something akin to density increase. It could increase a character's strength and defense while at the same time allowing some immunity to Phasing attacks. If Phasing is included, then perhaps it's opposite (Density Increase) should be included to.

Density Increase ....

Submitted by Jeff Moore on Fri, 2007-09-14 15:04.

Interesting... I never considered Density Increase to be the opposite of phasing... but you're right... I guess it is... oh, and YES! I'd love it if you made a source book of heroes and or villains for Supers-Brawl... please, please, do!!

Cool

I'll get the ball rolling on a sourcebook of heroes and villains for Super Brawl. I'll probably call it Super Brawlers or something like that. I plan on making it within a 24 hour period starting now, as it should actually be a very simple task. My only challenge is clipart and/or possibly using the Hero Machine. I might use the Hero Machine 1.0 this time (instead of the 2.0 version I used for Crime Fighter). If I do use the Hero Machine this time, it will be in color! Plus, I will have the superheroes and supervillains be printed out as counters as well to use in the miniatures based game. Should be fun.

Peace, Errin : )

It's done

Submitted by ErrinF on Sat, 2007-09-15 19:40.

I was able to do the sourcebook in much less than 24 hours. It was a lot of fun to make. It is available for download in it's own blog here now. I think you will be pleased with this new sourcebook for your excellent game. It was very easy to make as Supers Brawl is so straightforward and simple, yet with a lot of variety. And this time I got to use the Hero Machine in color!
