Superhero 2044 – A Retrospective

See links at the bottom of the above for more Superhero 2044 info (including one I wrote a while ago). and also :-

See the very interesting posts above about considerations on a new version. As opposed to bizarre failed kickstarters, etc.

In Secret Santicore 2015 I did a request for Super Powers in D&D Type Fantasy :-
See page 36 on wards.

Robert Kurcina above is updating Superhero 2044.

In Superhero 2044 there are three types of characters in the rules :-

Characters in Superhero 2044 – Thoul’s Paradise

Ubermensch – Batman
Toolmasters – Iron Man
Uniques – The Flash

The thought I had this morning is that you can map those onto the three basic types in Kevin Crawford’s Stars Without Number.

Stars Without Number Revised Edition Character Creation

Warrior
Expert
Psychic

These would map :-

Ubermensch – Warrior
Toolmaster – Expert
Psychic – Unique

Faction rules etc could then map into the patrolling system for Superhero 2044.

The Hazard IPSP ISIS Map has 1800 hexes of Australia and Oceania and Inguria as a good starting point, too.

Amazingly, by accident I discovered someone had digitised, this, too,. Won’t have to chop up one of my copies, now!

Kathleen Sinclair was a forensic psychiatrist working with police and laboratory technicians. She ran foul of a colleague who really didn’t like it that a woman was better at his job.

He set out to remove his problem permanently. Both working late one night, he poisoned her. However, a big storm had just hit and the building’s systems overloaded, killing both of them.
That was not it for Kathleen, however, as an entity held her spirit back, offering her a chance to protect others in her new state and with new powers.

The Storm Spectre was born.
