any chance of an update with a bookmarked pdf? or a cheatsheet of the barebones character creation and play rules? i really like this game based on my quick read but this book is a beast
Unfortunately probably not unless there is a giant push for a second edition.
This was my first time making a whole dang book so there was a lot I was learning at the time. I was having a hard enough time getting the book out the program. But it's high on the priority list for the new game. I did try to mitigate it a little bit but color coding the chapters for what it's worth!
A wonderful game with a wonderful creator, and a really unique system compared to other superhero TTRPG systems like MASKS. The focus on balancing superpowers with community and activism, and telling a story about what life is like for Genos beyond zocking evil in the face, gives an edge that really showcases the depth of thought and love that went into this game.
Playing this genuinely changed the way I thought about TTRPGs. I'd gotten burned out on the whole medium, mostly because of how frustrated the D&D style of game design makes me, and this was the first time I saw a system that prioritizes narrative freedom over the kind of bending the pass-fail odds that D&D-likes seem to get bogged down in.
Truly loved playing this game. Character creation was such a fun and different take on the process. The mechanics flow nicely and feel intuitive. It leaves so much room open for people to really have whatever kind of experience they want to have in the game. Five stars. 10 out of 10. Thank you, Sahoni!
Astonishing! Uncanny! All-New! And all other X-Adjectives available.
This book gets why one would want to play the Mutant Metaphor in an RPG. It cleverly weaves the power fantasy of powerful individuals with the drive to do good for one's community. It's well-researched, well-written and, well, so much fun to play!
This is the superpowered game I've been wanting for a long, long time. I can't wait to tell an Exceptional story of my own!
The ironic thing about a RPG about comic books focusing on marginalized people is that while it's "problematic" to say it, everyone really knows that Marvel and DC are going bankrupt precisely because they chose to stop producing classic hero stories and focus on social engineering stories instead, exactly what this RPG seems to be about.
Classic hero stories are not only being still produced, but are also turned into far-right shit. You seriously gonna tell me DC is being progressive when Red Hood, who sounds like an actual fascist 90% of the time and is a dog of the CIA toppling foreign governments, has his own book? Are you even reading comics or just came here to be a jerk to indie creator you disagree with?

A truly exceptional game that really captures the feeling of mutant settings without bogging it with crunching many numbers

Read what you enjoy. Comic books are a medium, there's space within that medium to tell all kinds of stories.
If these are not your kind of stories, it costs you nothing to simply go elsewhere.
Classic hero stories are not only being still produced, but are also turned into far-right shit. You seriously gonna tell me DC is being progressive when Red Hood, who sounds like an actual fascist 90% of the time and is a dog of the CIA toppling foreign governments, has his own book?

Ive been waiting for this for so long!!! im so excited and thankful to finally get to explore this world and these mechanics!!!
I find the worldbuilding incredibly unique and engaging. This really is a fantastic system, especially in terms of in-game conflict resolution.
