Adept Play
This is a very broad category, often confounded with the medium of comics, often perceived as tropes which are much narrower than the historical reality. These posts concern its expression and range within role-playing.
Talk about backlogged. Both Champions Now and Cosmic Zap are booming through the first couple sessions of their respective first playtests, and then there were all those videos for the Kickstarter. I’ll be putting them up for public viewing after the campaign’s done, probably at the blog. And three Monsterhearts sessions behind. I know what…

Mark and Jahmal and me are doin’ it! Followers of Comics Madness know that I’m trying out my hard-won thoughts on best practices for “first-generation Champions,” prior to what I think of as the Big Wrong Move it underwent for its 4th edition in 1989.
