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.
Hello folks, This is the next in my series detailing the steps involved in launching a Champions Now game. This one is dedicated to drafting The Now that will serve as the basis for our first session. I hope the description of my process is of use to somebody. Next time – the play report…
Hi all! This is the third installment in my series of posts on the Champions Now game that has come to be named The Sentinels of Justice. The first post (Greetings: On My Way to Champions Now) presented the two statements I used to kick off the game, along with some musings. The second post…
It’s been a while since my last Champions Now post. I plan to resume sharing about the 1930s New York game that I introduced in my previous post, “The Gift,” with posts about the characters that my players created and the sessions we’ve run, but these future posts will include character sheets, build sheets, and…

The first video is long as I wanted to keep my reply to Mark in a single packet. His question was a comment in the previous Q&A post, regarding my recommendations for myth inquiries & ideas regarding popular culture. I’ve attached an outline which may make it easier to follow. I did not manage actually…
Rod and I played our first session of Champions Now this week, drawing on our favorite chunks of D&D media, and the roleplaying setting of Karameikos in particular, for our inspiration. Rod’s playing lots of NPCs, not the least of which is the city of Specularum itself. I’m playing Suleiman (Sully to his friends), a…
Hello Adept Play community! I’m Aldo, and I’ve been promising Ron that I’d start posting here for at least a year. Online spaces are not very intuitive for me, however, so it took me a while to figure out how to do this. Indeed, this is a test to see if I HAVE indeed figured…
