Adept Play
It’s a dark dark game, so I guess that it’s … artistic? for me to have borked the video and arrived an an all-black-void recording. I hope it can be fun listening anyway, but I really regret losing the explicit attention we were paying throughout this session. The player-characters did not interact at all, so…
How about that other superhero game I’m working on? And no, not Vigil, but the other other one, which I’m calling Cosmic Zap. Quick review: this is work for The Chaosium, using HeroQuest as the chassis, specifically the HeroQuest SRD, itself a bit of a work in progress. Here’s the logic of the project: they…

Michael Solis, the Oblate, is both observant as a person and basically owned by St. Mary’s College of Law as a auperhero, in association with the Oblate School of Theology.

Hello to backers and to interested parties! Here’s a place for asking questions and sharing notions about Champions Now, in Kickstarter crazy stage at the time of this posting.
