Hi everyone! I spent half my vacation working on an idea that just wouldn't rest. To start, I LOVE superheroes. I'm mostly a DC kind of girl, but I like Marvel, too. I mostly read DC though. My favorite hero duo is Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, followed closely by Fire and Ice, and a third is Superman and Batman of course. I don't have an ultimate favorite superhero, but I really love The Flash comics (mostly because his Rogue's Gallery is my favorite, though).
I wanted to create a journaling game where I could make my own in-depth superhero by simply answering a few prompts. I wanted the superhero I made to be able to fit in whatever superhero IP I wanted, or maybe I could make my own superhero universe.
The plan worked! I had a great time making this journaling tool. It's not really a game, per se. It's more to set you up for success for a game like Mutants and Masterminds or for making your own well-rounded superhero for your own comic series or novel.
Anyway, I succeeded in coming up with the perfect prompts to answer about your superhero to make them a fully developed character. I even included tables. I'm especially proud of the d100 table I came up with for superpowers. You don't have to use the tables in the book. They are just there if you need a little inspiration.
The game has 22 prompts that ask questions like: What is your background? What are your powers? How do your powers affect your everyday life? Who is your archenemy? What makes them more significant than your other enemies?
I also ask if you have a no-kill rule, who your love interest is, and if your alter ego is a secret to those you love. If some of these questions don't apply to your character, feel free to skip them. Only write about what is relevant to your character.
Have fun making your characters! And feel free to post little blurbs about them here on my blog in the comments below!
