A thread for creating stuff for Cape Games be it characters, teams, powers, universes, or plots.
All ideas are welcomed and encouraged. None are too grim. None are too wacky. The goal is to create things that GM and players can take and put in their own games, modifying elements to suit their own tastes.

>>47466377 At least we have all the links, I think.
So what directions are we taking this thread? Continue to flesh out the new groups? Go for another country? Just general superhero stuff, not necessarily Cape World?
How do I find players that want to have DRAMATIC MONOLOGUING with the NPC enemies?
Everyone I find is either a zip lipped murder hobo or a "but the realistic choice here would be absolute, immediate violence before it can be inflicted on me" and then behaving exactly like the zip-lip.
I write two paragraph backstories for my main enemies and start /every/ fight by trying to talk with the party and I just can't get shit out of them.
As a player, I often tend to get self-conscious of my character being too wordy and I try to not hog the spotlight. If you'd like people to talk a bit more, maybe politely suggest as such before the session starts. I guarantee most of them are holding back to try and be polite.
That's easy. Try talking to them when they're not trying to kill each other.
Alternatively make them hate the NPCs so they'll want to enter a bit of verbal combat. This can be done by
>having enemy NPC ruin their day >having enemy NPC create an obstacle so they have to go the long way around, make sure they know it was him >having them brutalize friendly animals, not humanoid NPCs. Even most cynical rollplayers don't take it well. Especially if you're... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Could hypnosis be used to improve roleplaying games? Is it worth the risk of a player doing something incredibly stupid because they genuinely believe they are their character?
>>47463698 Hypnosis is not a confirmed phenomenon and is largely discredited, though it does help in reducing pain felt by patients. -source: Took a psychology course in high school+college.
>>47463807 It's apparently consequential enough to have laws forbidding its practice in many countries and states.

I remember attending a stage hypnosis show in high school, and while it was rather entertaining, what really amazed me was when a friend of mine, who had not been initially selected to go up on the stage, fell into a trance while sitting in the audience. We thought he had sort of fell asleep while sitting up, and we couldn't rouse him awake.

Ya suckers are all lucky to have your mates and groups to play pnp and tabletop games! Even if you have bad experiences you at least HAVE any experiences. Everything I do is to read all your story threads every evening for five years and imagine all those exciting stories you tell. I hope you are greatful for what you have, even when it's that guy time on your tables. ;__;
t. Never found the courage to join a local gaming Group due to extreme social anxiety.
>>47463250 Exposure therapy works, anon. Message someone in roleplay and show up to one session. Just one. You can quit after that point if you want, but it'll be way easier to try it again if you've at least tried.
>>47463833 Best example I have is the dragon age kind. Using blood instead of whatever else needs to be used. Certain abilities restricted to using blood only, basically it's edge in magic form
>>47461722 My girlfriend and her friends liked playing the DC Heroes roleplaying game as kids. Years passed and they started to drift apart.
I got my gf into tabletop and roleplaying games when we met in college. It gave her the idea to maybe get her old posse together again. She broke out the DC Heroes again and called them up.
We're three days in and my gf is doing well managing the whole thing. She said we should create our own heroes and stick to the game's stat system.
Her and I did well, but her friends lazily just went off whatever came to mind first. Despite their lack of enthusiasm, they quickly got back into it. Stories were told, gossip made, jokes about my gf and I having super kids, and so on.
My character is 5'10" like me, but my gf is 5'5" so she wanted a tall character. If she knew I was even sharing the idea of her character, she'd kill me.
What's your favorite superhero system? I used to play "Marvel Universe RPG" (the diceless one) and i really liked that one. Then i played a little of Savage Worlds with superhero add-on and it was extremely unbalanced. After that was "Mutants and Masterminds" and "Wild Talents" Both did great, but the second one is ubalanced like hell but still fun.
Hero System, specifically Champions Complete edition. I find that after you learn the basics of the system it goes extremely fast through combat. Non-combat is solved easily with either skill rolls or straight ability rolls and the group I play with consists entirely of close friends so it's always fun.
