The UNTIL Superpowers Database. Makes character creation so much quicker.

And, depending on your campaign, Millennium City.

My 9 and 13 year old sons were able to use the concepts in USD to help us put some really tough Superheroes together.

How do your kids do actually? Just interested to know. :) Didn't get into gaming til late high school, myself. Intrigued by Gamer Tots.

I second the selections above, and would add the Bestiary for good measure. You might get someone who wants some type of "animal powers" character, an animal as a Multiform or Follower, or wants guidelines for a character who's permanently larger or smaller than normal.

Thanks LL, almost forgot it...Unfortunatly I don't have USPD yet


Just so you know Lupus, I got my kids involved at 8 and 9, the campeign was simplified (PD/ED were the same, characters were designed to spend 0 end a turn, both played bricks).

They did okay with the mechanics, but had a little problem understandig disads, at first...

You might want CKC, to look up possible Hunteds. If you remember the names and rough power levels, though, it could stay home.

Well the characters are rough drafted (we will revise next week after the first adventure)

We used the quick character generator, as most of the players are newbies, I will be entering them in HD tonight or tomorow, and will tweek to fit campeign levels (Sorry, but the generator seems to create to high powered attacks and not enough defences)
