I'm been posting a number of new superheroes of late with new artwork, and it's all related to a new rpg project, which is ultimately related to a comics project I'm doing with Jim Shelley and the artist Chris Malgrain. I'm sure I'll post more on that as things develop, but for now I want to talk about the rpg project.
Tentatively titled Who's Who in the Armchair Planet Universe, it is planned to be two "issues" featuring characters and things from the universe of the comic, members of the heroic Super-Sentinels and the villainous Masters of Menace. It will have DC Who's Who style "fluff" entries on each character and stats for the Icons rpg for each. Why Icons, well besides being a good system, it's OGL and it's stats are simple enough they seem relatively easy to translate to other systems (particularly TSR's Marvel Superheroes and its clones), so it will be fairly universal while still providing some stats.
Here's the draft of the statless front page of the Champion's entry:
More to be revealed!
Ready when you are!
ReplyDeleteMay I ask why you haven't used Black the Blackball's FASERIP OGL?
ReplyDeleteI'm keen either way, simply curious.
Also, if you need any contributors, I'd love to be involved.
Sounds wonderful! And, like Mark above, happy to help if you need more contributors.
ReplyDeleteThis, this I love! The faithfulness to the classic Who’s Who comics of the 80s DC Comics is striking. Count me among the buyers of this project.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! (No pun intended)
ReplyDeleteIs Who's Who in the Armchair Planet still coming out?
ReplyDeleteIt's unclear at this point. Work changes for me and life changes for one of my collaborators have put it on hiatus. Even if the original scope it's realized, though, most of the 1st issue has been written and the art was completed, so it would be nice to see it out, at least.
