phoenix240 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 If Silver Age Superman, Dr. Manhattan, Silver Surfer and Goku can have writeups, so can Saitama. Oh yeah, I don't doubt it could be done. The approach would be interesting to see. There are a couple of options that I can think of. The setting might actually be fairly straight forward if unusual compared to many supers settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdamnhero Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Sadly, Busiek responded saying he's not interested at this time. I think he's missing a great opportunity, but I understand not wanting to let other people mess with your baby. Yeah, given that it hasn't been done before now, I would've assumed he wasn't crazy about the idea. Bummer. Part of what makes Astro City work is that it's about so much more than just punching/blasting each other; there are supers fights, sure, but they're generally secondary to the character interactions and "what it's like to live in a city that has regular super-battles." That would take a deft hand to pull off and (I hate to say it) Champions might not be the best system for it. But if you could make it work, it could be a very different type of RPG experience than your usual supers game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I might be able to convince him to give a shot, but I don't want to pester the guy either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Are there any six-year olds here? They're really good at pestering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrito Boy Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Are there any six-year olds here? They're really good at pestering. I have the maturity level of a six-year-old. Does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Well, you have to be cute. Otherwise, pestering just becomes an annoyance, rather than an endearment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Sometimes I forget exactly who's on this site. No I just mean the kind of people who know Kurt Busiek well enough to try and convince him of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Has anyone mentioned Xombie yet? The issues I've seen of that are strange and wonderful. I could only hope a Hero adaptation would be likewise. EDIT: There seems to be more than one IP called "Xombie" out there. I mean the comic book with Nun of the Above and Catholic Girl as supporting characters. I think I need to dig out the old issues and see what company published it and who wrote and drew.

TheQuestionMan Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Wildcards make for great reading, but only comedy rpg fans would enjoy Wildcards Hero. Besides GRRM would charge too much today. QM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmenace Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Invincible/invincible Universe The Elementals but Bill Willingham does't seem to think he will get the rights back The Power Factor and I'm not sure if it is part of DC or not, the Dakotavers/Milestone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
