Is Kimi playing Dazzler? Sounds more like modern Dazzler, who in fact was working in a roller derby.

Listening to the first episode post creation and one question:
Do none of them have secret identities? Silly teens, learn the importance of a mask, then you can avoid detention all together!

Listening to the first episode post creation and one question: Do none of them have secret identities? Silly teens, learn the importance of a mask, then you can avoid detention all together! I think that was part of the setting creation that powers were known and not entirely a secret thing. Kinda like X-Men, you might be a mutant but nobody would know you had powers unless you used them or told them. Hell, the school in this setting has a "no powers" policy. Oh and the modern Dazzler from the Ultimate Universe turned out to be a heavily pierced rock star. Complete with the rock star lifestyle. Not my favorite Dazzler but it was an interesting direction for her.

Just finished listening to episode 2 and love the seeds that have been planted! Also congrats to Zer0 for putting the principle in his place! Some hopefully helpful feedback for jazzisblues A lot of those early rolls you had the team make felt a little off to me. Like using telekinesis to turn off the speaker, or all the various Crossing the quad rolls, they didn't come off as "Directly engage a threat" and sounded much more like "Unleash your powers" The helpful key is the triggers and the effects. In directly engage, you are trading blows with someone or something, even if you succeed your opposition hits you back, unless you choose an option. And that hit is not an automatic condition, it triggers the "take a powerful blow" move. When you roll a miss though, yeah, you can bypass straight to conditions no problem. But the trigger for "Unleash your powers" is when you use your powers to overcome an obstacle, reshape your environment, or extend your senses. Sounds perfect for leaping across a chasm, or quad, right? Don't get too worried, myself and many others often get hung up on which is more fitting for the situation, the big thing to think about is when you Directly engage a threat, you are intending to hurt someone or something. That is the main effect of that move. If you aren't trying to hurt something, then you're not engaging a threat. Also, it might help the players and listeners to better explain the team pool mechanic on the air. You are not technically allowed to spend team for yourself, unless you are doing so selfishly and also go out of your way to hurt your team in some way (emotionally or physically), because spending it selfishly is a jerk move. And last but of hopefully helpful advise is in regards to the option "expose yourself to danger", again, it shouldn't be treated like an auto condition, but as a way for the fiction to change, maybe a new threat, or maybe as simple as "take a powerful blow" which can then lead to conditions. Other than all that, players and gms have to pay close attention to triggers of moves, like the legacy's ability to roll saviour instead of danger technically only works when an enemy is more powerful than them, gm's discretion. Hope this was helpful as intended, and looking forward to the next issue!

JiB, I think you're doing INFLUENCE wrong. Two characters can have INFLUENCE over each other (a mutual respect situation). I did not read anywhere about INFLUENCE cancelling or where two characters could not have INFLUENCE over each other. To be honest the way you are running it INFLUENCE among the characters is very limited and can be a hindrance in removing CONDITIONS.

Damn, if you guys had ANY idea how much of a Borderlands SUPERFAN I am, you'd have a 10% notion of how much I am FREAKING THE GEEK OUT RIGHT NOW. I love this idea so much! I didn't even think of this when we named him Zer0, but I can't love this enough. <3 <3 <3

This game really invokes My Hero Academia feelings, and that's a good thing.

You just need to loose two fingers (he has 4 on each hand) and get a holograph display infront of his face (perfect for emojis)... Ps. And Haiku, lots of haiku.

In fact, meant to say, that's actually why I picked my playbook. Total love for The Bull's Heart.

Zer0 has a thing for Derby Girl, who does Boom Boom have her eye on?
(Please also say Derby Girl, because a love triangle like that would be AWESOME!)
