Just Heroes

Epiphany time! (Either that or spending the last few days rewriting Origins and Styles has distorted my sense of values.)

I haven’t really been sure what to do with the equivalent of sex moves in this superhero hack: I thought I might use them set up situations like the classic Fastball Special, so you have to co-operate with another hero to benefit from a particular tactic, but the idea didn’t excite me that much.

I went back to considering the soap opera side of the story and putting sex moves back in, but that didn’t sit right with me either, it felt like the wrong kind of intimacy… then it just hit me.

When you entrust someone else with your secret identity…

Now, this doesn’t just trigger when you reveal your secret identity to someone else, but when you entrust them with it, that is you request their aid in keeping up the charade of your double life. This also doesn’t mean that your secret can only be exposed once, since you can always obfuscate the truth after it gets revealed.

Also, I have totally finished writing style moves for all the Styles now, unless I think up another Style, but as there are already 15 of those, they combine with the 14 Origins to make 210 possible ‘playbooks.’ That’s probably enough to be going on with.
