I'm following along with the actual plays (great fun!) and I am also trying to learn Cortex Prime (which I backed on Kickstarter). I've been trying to determine what Cortex Prime rules you're using and not using (Cortex Prime has 'mods' with lots of rules you can turn on and off). I believe you're using the default rules, with the following 'mods' and house rules: - Static Difficulty (for tests)
- Hero Dice
- The Doom Pool
- Traits used: Affiliations (Solo/Buddy/Team), Attributes (Mental/Physical/Social), Values (Duty, Glory, Justice, Love, Power, Truth), Powers (1-2 power sets), and Distinctions
- Powers don't have SFX
- Powers don't have limits
Is that right? -- Stan Shinn |

I am very much looking forward to doing other types of games in Cortex Prime as well. I love the flexibility it gives us for making the game that we want.
Though I have no intention of stopping GeneX any time soon.

Awesome! I'm loving the actual play, and looking forward to running my own Supers game with Cortex Prime (probably next year after the Prime books ship).
I'm curious -- did you drop the SFX just to streamline the crunch and keep it focused on narrative for on-air gaming? I will likely podcast my Cortex Prime Supers campaign as an actual play as well, so looking for any tips on Cortex Prime dials or considerations given it will be an actual play.

I just wanted to stop in and say that I love this. I've been a fan of Cortex Plus, the precursor to prime, and and think this system really works well for the supers genre. I was really happy when I saw you were using Cortex, I've been dying for an AP using it. And better yet, you made it Cortex Prime and I'm already sold on buying a copy when it comes out.

There are going to be some rules changes that are going to come up in the next session so stay tuned. JiB |

Thanks for sharing a breakdown of the traits you're using for Gene-X. I haven't had time to get past the first episode, but I've been curious about what rules you were using.

There are about to be some significant changes in how we do things with the rules because well ... evolution.
