How extensive is the Mystical World of Pittsburgh? It’s sounding like it might be the dominant category of superhumans. This could be explored. It might also help to have a section for discussing how things are organized in the city by Worlds: Martial World, Mystical World, etc. That would help players interface their characters into one or more of the superhuman subcultures. Maybe Stine could belong to a loose association of science-oriented villains that occasionally partner up for mutual benefit. It happens in the comics, even if it is just to have someone to go out drinking with and swap war stories. Is there a “bar with no name” where villains congregate?

You can find it for sale on Drivethrurpg.com here. They also have the Third Edition version.

Ah, I was thinking human helpers when I wrote that. Sorry. A cute and snarky female assistant could play well off tall, grim and metallic Igor. She could be a gadget girl type.

Hmmm. Igor and Igora could be twins, which might be interesting.

I vote for Igor, the traditional name for a mad scientist’s assistant. A perky female assistant dressed like a colonial Minuteman (or perhaps Betsy Ross) would complete the trifecta.

It’s possible some people might be just throwing a buck or two at it in a custom pledge. You can support a Patreon campaign without selecting a tier.

Maybe it’ll be up by this Friday?

In a salute to Kang, you could do something like the Timemaster Council made up of multiple versions of Timemaster.

To be honest, this sounds like +0 modifier territory to me. Neither an Advantage nor a Limitation.

Perhaps she is a summoner sort rather than a magic blaster or martial artist. She can summon one or more golems who can then fight for her. Another option could be a magic caster with a Kabbalist theme and one or more relics on her person, I suppose. A tarot deck might be fun as a means of accessing her magical powers.

It sounds like there should be one major superhero of the Jewish faith, which would certainly add to the city’s distinctive character.

Since Pittsburgh is known as Steel City, I think one of its major heroes should be a powered armor sort or have Steel in their name somehow.

I think a Western Hero/Champions/Dark Champions crossover book of characters is a wonderful idea. Publish it and take my money, please.

I suspect this would have to be a labor of love rather than a quest for profits.

Friends In Space

They would be best for a Bronze Age setting. Way too out of date for the modern era. That said, perhaps the presence of Soviet superhumans prolonged the life of the USSR in an alternate Champions universe, and that’s where the campaign is set. It might feel a bit like Watchmen. Another possible way to use them would be as a part of a plot by Empress V’Han or maybe a time travel mission into the future for them from before the fall of the Soviet Union. After all, if you can bring Captain America forward from World War II into the modern world, you could do it with Soviet superhumans and might be pretty fun to have something so retro running around causing havoc.

I’ve seen a number of Gilligan crossovers in this thread, but I didn’t see this one… Gilligan’s Land of the Lost

You could make the effects Sticky.

Start the Patreon and take my money, please.

Is this a focused effect (single target), or will it affect all who can see her (AoE) at once? A mental Transform will give you the long-term effect of being in love. Mind Control has breakout rolls that can snap someone out of it pretty quickly.

Has anyone bought any of these? There’s not much information in the descriptions. If you bought them, what do you think of them?

Abraham and Isaac did not involve actual sacrifice, but only to see if they would be faithful enough to go through with it if told to do so by God. There’s some pretty deep symbolism in their story. It was really quite a test of faith for Abraham, since his own father would have sacrificed him to an idol if he hadn’t been saved by divine intervention.

For WITCH, you could probably take quite a bit of stuff from DEMON and file off the serial numbers. Instead of Cthulhu-esque gods behind them, they are a full-on pagan organization. Any superhuman woman could be a member and the most powerful among them on the High Council (or whatever they call it). What could be fun is to have them be a secret conspiracy with agents seeded among supervillain teams (and maybe some hero teams too). Mentalla of Eurostar could be a member or maybe the Duchess Von Drotte on VIPER’s leadership council.

Hmmm. I get the impression of a control freak, my way or the highway, personality in this description. Throwing fits during conversations is not a sign of maturity, and I’m actually now thinking he is trying to take control of your campaign with his actions. You let him change characters once already, which caused you to retool some aspects of the campaign and now you’ll need to do it again. Frankly, he does not sound like someone happy being a player, since your description is of him makes it sound like he was only GM-ing in prior play sessions. Give him one more chance if you want, but be prepared to let him walk away.

I’m now kind of curious as to what sort of campaign this is. Superhero? Sci-Fi? Fantasy? Espionage? Palace intrigue?
