Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
Essie Bogandis was voted "Most Likely to Smash Her Own Brains Out
Bungee Jumping," before she got kicked out of school for poor
attendance and backchat. But so what? She got a job running a bungee
jump platform, and it paid for her NEW favorite hobby -- BASE jumping.
One of the most infamous Talents of the 1960s went by the name Setekh.
Nobody knew who he was, really, but he styled himself the incarnation
of the ancient Egyptian deity Set, god of desert storms and chaos.
Setekh was clearly insane, and not in an entertaining, comic-book
supervillain way. He would shift from literally raining destruction
over some offending city to spending weeks in staring isolation.
The Brick is a powerhouse, pure and simple, the epitome of
sheer brute force, able to hurl cars, pound weaker foes into the ground, shrug
off all but the most powerful attacks, and take a lot of punishment. The
archetypal brick is not particularly swift, bright, or skilled, and has a very
straightforward approach to dealing with problems: SMASH!
Wings (-2/4/8): You rely on wings to fly. The wings on each side of the body
(right and left) are hit locations with a 5 Wound Boxes each. Should either wing
location be filled with damage, your Flight power fails immediately and can not
be used again until the damaged location(s) have healed.
This is one of the more interesting aspects of the Wild Talents book to
me. To get full details and Mr. Hite's full slate of examples for the axes,
you'll need the book. But it made me wonder how some of the settings of
my favorite comics might stack up. What ratings would you assign the
comics you like?
Spell Casting- the notorious Willpower devouring monster power. Dr. Weird throws down a couple of spells, and he's spent, empty, drained,
and useless. Unless Dr. Weird's occult powers are boundless, and his spirit filled
with the mysterious forces of the deep cosmos.
Pauly was a little guy, but thick like a fire hydrant. He wasn't lazy
exactly, but never found anything to be ambitious about, and after
dropping out of high school. he started doing odd jobs, working as a
mover, a ditch digger, a repo guy for one of those rent-to-own places,
a pizza delivery man, and a fetch and carry man on construction sites.
He never made much, but it kept him in beer and Playstation, so he was
content until he got... the letter.
I put the Sandman at 250 points, which is rather high for a character with almost no superpowers - but this is the DC universe, after all,
where highly trained humans seem to be easily on par with minor superhumans.
