Played ‘Spectaculars’ last night a kick ass supers game by Rodney Thompson. Exciting and versatile rule set. Tremendous presentation which I should have gotten a picture of. Behold Think Tank! A three-faced hero with the power of participatory government!

If you like superhero RPGs, the excellent #Spectaculars is on deep discount for only $20. Not sure for how long.

It's a great “pull off the shelf and play" RPG with great components and an awesome "MadLibs" style campaign/adventure packet.

At that price, it's near perfect for a backup game to whip out when the whole adventuring party can't make it.

Some real gems in there, like #IntoTheOdd #Spectaculars #Unbound #WorldWideWrestling bundleofholding.com/presents/C

I am surprised to find myself interested in #Daggerheart
It appears to have a tactile style similar to #spectaculars

@spezbaby I'm super excited about #dnd4e and #dnd35 and #Spectaculars and #StarsWithoutNumber and #StarWars Saga Edition and #Pathfinder2 and #Angel Rpg and #CallOfCthulhu and ...

Maybe you can see my problem?

I’m prepping #Spectaculars for our next @teamupmoves recording. I usually don’t do published adventures for the show but the series books that they provide are a perfect amount of bare-bone structure paired with a lot of customization options.

It’s less “here’s a story to run your players through” and more “you should tell this sort of story now… let me help you do it!”

I may have my Spin-Off answer already picked out.

Sheet of superhero templates for #Dragonmeet: done

With added #Spectaculars logo
AND acts as an x-card too!

Now to print on thin card and steal plastic standee bases from WFRP3 stash

Absolutely frazzling day at work... but I did find an old Champions PDF, complete with the colour-your-own-superhero templates.

Perfect for #Spectaculars at #Dragonmeet #TTRPG

We started playing #Spectaculars again, after we finished all official content a year or so ago. Brand new setting, some new players, and despite having played it all before, it's still a ton of fun. All the elements are so very different than the last time, yet there are hints of the previous setting (in a multiverse kind of thing).

Box of the TTRPG game "Spectaculars"

#Dragonmeet #spectaculars prep:

1. Reread the rules

2. Print quick reference cards for players

3. Locate and Print some of those funky superhero templates that original #Champions had, so people can do sketches of their new superheroes

4. Remember it's 9am start not 10am

My most memorable characters I’ve
played (from the start):
&D - Laire ‘The Slayer’: Fighter
&D - Gwynn Longleaf: Half Elf MU/Thief; Bjorn Ironsides: Dwarf Assassin (with a natty hat)
- Deepo Kets (basically Han Solo)
- Bolto Barrelhouse: Halfling Monk (name shamelessly nicked from AD&D DMG)
- Silverhammer: Speedster (with the world’s least accurate disintegration ray)
… makes me realise I have really DM’d way too much! Far too few memorable PCs…

Looks like we have a new largest game in our collection. Spectaculars, from Scratchpad Publishing, is an absolute unit. Core D&D manuals shown for scale.

Photo showing that the box for Spectaculars is deeper and bigger than 3 D&D hardbacks.

Last night, I got my #Spectaculars box out.

I checked the various cards were all there and which pages of the Setting Book I need to print.

And... that's my #Dragonmeet prep done.

Damn, after running #Rolemaster and #PF2, I *love* low-prep games 😍😄

I've decided.

With #Spectaculars @ Dragonmeet, #PF2 Kingmaker mid-2023, I've only got a short window for online gaming.

So if it's anything, it's #TorgEternity. Can adapt what I did for oTorg on #Roll20, I've the pdfs and some nice short scenarios.

Any takers?

@FrontierMaps As a GM, my players are my muses. They're amazing.

They've followed me into #FitD, #PbtA, #Cortex, #Spectaculars, #Vaesen, anything I want to run - they show up.

My desire to run traditional #DnD is near zero. But when my incredible players ask to play D&D because they want to know what rolling a 20 feels like...

I still said no. But I'm running #13thAge because I love them.

@jamesgraham #Spectaculars is best in class. Strong recommend.
