I have, during my off hours at work, been messing around with creating a new set of RPG rules based off of the "superpowers" archetype. I've got a very broad-strokes ruleset more or less put together, and I've been test-running it with some friends with mixed-to-positive results. Still, I'd like to see what other people have to say/suggest.
This is my first foray into game design, so I realize that there are probably a lot of issues that I'm just not seeing or noticing. Any notes or critiques are more than welcome!
You'll probably notice that a lot of things are left to the GM's discretion. This is intentional. Still, if you see a glaring need for a system to be put in place for some superpower's rules or another, please say so! I'd be glad to hear any suggestions.
The premise is kinda Heroes-esque: a subset of humanity has spontaneously developed superpowers, and naturally there are a lot of private and government interests that would like to do something about that. Basically, this is an excuse to allow for the creation of characters with superpowers AND characters that are just very well trained and equipped.
Here's the link to download the current ruleset: http://www.scribd.com/doc/177609686/AlphaOmegaRulesv0-5
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing people's thoughts.
