Lucius Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 When you don't know what to do, just hit something. When you don't know what to do, make a Luck roll. When you don't know what to do, make a CHA roll. Just because you 'kill' a supervillain doesn't mean he's dead. Just because you didn't kill the supervillain doesn't mean he didn't die. (Just ask Viper) Sometimes during play, players come up with ideas even better than your original episode; go with the flow. Sometimes during play, players come up with cool episode ideas for you and don't know it; write them down. Sometimes the players get totally focused on some minute point that's totally irrelevant to the episode. (So true!) These are aphorisms, not for a superheroic universe, but for a universe in which superheroic role playing games are played.

Pariah Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Just because you 'kill' a supervillain doesn't mean he's dead. Corollary: If you don't see a body, he's not dead. He's on the way to Acapulco, and he'll be back in six months, stronger than ever. (My first Champions GM taught me that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothere Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 No matter how many times you destroy the villain base with millions in unique equipment, they'll have a replacement in a week. Corrallary no matter how many times the villain blows up your base with millions in unique equipment you'll have a replacement in a month.

steriaca Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Telling yourself it's all just a dream never works. Just because "it was all a dream" don't mean it was harmless, nor don't have lasting effects on the waking world. Also, that means the existence of a dream villain which makes Freddy piss his pants... bubba smith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armory Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Something one of my players has discovered, and is perhaps too specific to qualify as an aphorism, but...When you're a gas-controlling hero, the second time you encounter any villain they will have nose plugs.

steriaca Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 If you're a non-powered superhero from an alternative universe, and the superheros in the universe your visiting are fictional, do not attempt to visit them and ask for help finding your universes only superbeing. If you do, you'll only end up in that universe's super nut house (not that you don't deserve to be there, having lived through a false psychic alien invasion). Man, I like Doomsday Clock, but hate what it is doing to the Watchman legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
