Just saying hey. Loving this game. I’m working on a super power supplement, one that lists tons of powers, including suggested effects at every level (simple through impossible), plus various power origins and limitations. There will also be some character write-ups, showing how powers can interact in interesting ways.
Are there any powers you want to see represented?
This is a good place to start… 🙂

Cool idea! I could see that helping out new players a bunch.
The cool thing about it is how you made the powers setup very freeform. It could work as a descriptive basis for any game.
Could open up the mutants and masterminds or any other superhero rpg and start looking through the powers.
I almost feel that there needs to be some kind of +/- scale depending on what kind of character you have.
Leaping over a private fence may be hard for the Arrow, but breathless for the hulk.
Marvel Superheroes Ultimate Powers book is a great place for powers and effects as well as origins.
I’m including things like making teleportation difficulties scale up if you take more than yourself. It’s a little crunchy but not overly so.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with 🙂
The powers are presented in a minimalist format so there’s plenty of room for customization or argument between players and the EIC. 😀 I’m going to include a section about combining powers to create new effects, and several characters with example powers. Maybe a section of pre-generated villains, too.
You can toss this aside, but here is how I would do a super powers supplement for this game.
I would create 6-10 tiers of powers, starting at Tier 1 being just advanced human abilities like running the 100 yard dash in gold metal time, ect… with Tier 8/10/whatever being god like powers that are impossible and here you use the 4 levels given by WiP as a slider. So a character like the Arrow would be Tiers 1-4, Superman 3-7, ect….
People coule choose between Tiers, but that could a good “guide.”
I am not able to find Thrilling Powers? Is it still in available?
The drivethrurpg site does not seem to have it.
