steriaca Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 If your a popular superhero, and your hero name ends with a Man, Woman, Boy, or Girl, or begins with a Mister, Master, Madam, Mistress, or Miss, expect to run into hero's of the opposite gender but simular name as yours so the comic book company tries to protect there copyright from is to comic book companies. For example, your Macho Man. Expect to run into Macho Boy, Macho Girl, Macho Woman, Macho Dog, and even Macho Man Junior (if your lucky).

phydaux Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Your Boyfriend will be evil from time to time. Everyone looks the other way when the superhero hooks up with the female supervillain. When the reverse happens, people assume it is mind control. They are almost always wrong *, but they assume it is so. * Even girls with superpowers love a bad boy. Grailknight and Cancer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Your Boyfriend will be evil from time to time. This differs from a non-superheroic world how? It's been my experience that Boyfriend will turn evil when they get powers. Depending on kind and degree of power, I suspect almost anyone would at least be tempted to turn evil. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary says absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothere Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Don't be silly Lucius. No one who turns invisible would misuse the power of invisibility Like a boyfriend using it to spy on womens showers. Espically not if that boyfriend is a horny teenager:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 aphorism for a pulp universe never say "bite me" to a vampire Aphorims for a Star Hero Setting: Never write "Bite me" on your armor, when fighting alien Critters. You know they will take it literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCold Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 If you're a popular superhero, make sure there is a revolving door installed in your coffin since you can never really die. If you're a popular villain, make certain to be buried in a teleportation pod with no houseflies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech 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.

Tech Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Sometimes the players get totally focused on some minute point that's totally irrelevant to the episode. (So true!) Armory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
