It looks like someone attempted a George Perez-style layout without an understanding of basic composition. If you're doing a superhero RPG, pay for art by an actual superhero artist.

a.) Agreed on Supreme Powers premise; I trust you are familiar with the earlier work it was based on, that did some similar stuff (though not to the same extent)? b.) Did The Twelve ever get finished? I collected the first 6(?) issues, but never saw the rest. Do you know if they put it out in a col...

Supreme Power was a fucking awesome deconstruction of DC's power house characters, despite the stupid name. The Twelve was also very cool as a hero-out-of-time tale. His Spider-Man run gets a bad rap for Norman Osborne's 'o-face' and the whole 'One More Day/Mephisto dealio but those were editorial ...

A friend of mine got a copy for free at GenCon and gave it to me. It's narrative and combat is way more abstracted than the d6 and d20 versions. It also uses career skill trees. Dice pools are used to determine ability, proficiency, difficulty, challenge, setback and Force successes. The book comes ...

Is anyone here a manga or non-Anglophone comics reader? I'm trying to find new books to read but, other than Gantz , the American manga market seems like it's geared toward little girls, little boys, emo/goth kids, and yaoi fans. Books I've read and liked in the past: 1. Masamune Shirow's stuff (Gho...

I'm curious as to what Adobe's next move will be since it was Jobs who pushed to remove Flash compatibility.
PS: I hate Flash but it's still a common tool in web development that doesn't seem to want to die. Er... I mean... go away.

I might argue diminishing returns though as there's only so fast and so good you can possibly get with a sword. I agree with this. Everyone plateaus in their skills and practice becomes a matter of maintenance rather than improvement. You can swing a sword for 10 years or 1000 years but eventually ...

More than anything, I just don't want melee abilities to be so costly or specific that you could plausibly sum up people's roles with Kick Man or Sword Guy, since unless you're making guns uncharacteristically weak then melee is ultimately a last ditch trick roughly on level with having the Escape ...

Bruce Wayne has serious mother and father issues. While he may have great willpower he doesn't have the ability to overcome his fear of crime - hence his need to hang on to the mantle of the Batman. Green Lantern rings are provided to those who can control their fear; Batman is ruled by his and proj...
