Smallville RPG is great for this-- one PC can be literal Superman while the others are just his regular human friends and it works great. Runs on the #CortexRPG, which also powered Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (which worked fine with Silver Surfer and Daredevil on the same team).

As I work to bring in new #CortexRPG players, having the support of the game's original creator means a lot.
I fell in love with it as Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (still the best supers RPG of all time) but it took many years for a real, useful license to be released. I thought I'd never get to (1/2)

Cortex Prime is a gorgeous toolkit of a game but it can be intimidating for the casual gamer or new GM! I highly recommend Jeremy’s CORTEX LITE as a starting point for your Cortex journey. Grab it for only $5 and see what all the hype is about!

#CortexRPG is a brilliant, quietly influential #TTRPG with simple yet robust rules. It powers some of the most beloved licensed RPGs of the 21st century.
I wrote a simple take on it to teach new players, now out in a new enhanced edition. Please give it a look.

I 100% agree with Marvel Heroic Roleplaying. It's how I found and fell in love with #CortexRPG. I like the d616 system too, but MHR resonates more to me.
The Leverage RPG was pretty great too and also underrated.
I am still collecting as many of the older Cortex games that I can find.

#CortexRPG for me, in all its flavors, especially Tales of Xadia, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, and Smallville. I want to shout about it from every rooftop.
To be fair, since @direwolfdigital.bsky.social purchased and abandoned Cortex, betraying its fans, enthusiasts like me kind of need to step up.

Do you have a ttrpg that in your opinion is so under celebrated that you have appointed yourself head of the PR committee for that game? Where on at least one occasion someone mistakenly assumed you must have worked on it but really you're just unwell about it?
What's that game to you?

I love #CortexRPG but Dire Wolf really seems to be deliberately and actively hiding it under a rock. I just don't understand what the hell they're doing with it.

I particularly like TLite because it touches on many key points of the CortexRPG and exposes players to what makes it different, without overwhelming them.
I'm glad you liked the post; I'll have to keep an eye on your future, and I'm sure great, publications.

Preparing to run #travellerrpg, and I'm missing #CortexRPG and #ironsworn for their GM support!
The traditional #ttrpg has rules, guides, and character sheets only for the players, leaving GMs with advice that amounts to "do a good job."
Heck, even #5e has the "adventuring day" budget, but […]

I hate high-pressure tactics for getting to people to buy a thing, but if you don't go pickup Miriam's adventure this very minute you're a useless loser who hates fun.

Also, um, has ANYONE created a Real Housewives TTRPG yet, or do I have to add it to my list of settings to run with @CortexRPG??
Just finished running a private Buffy 3 shot via @SwordAndScroll! Gonna vegetate for a while today (probably binge more RHOA), then start diving into some more systems and adventures I’ve been wanting to run... what would you want me to run next, if you were playing at my table?
