Smallville The Rpg

David Johnston2 · 09-04-2010, 07:45 PM

So I just saw that someone put out a Smallville game.

Why?

Smallville is a horrible setting for a game. What are you going to play in it?

The hottie Chloe?
What? I want to be pretty in the Abercrombie and Fitch ad that is Smallville.

It's a horrible idea for a show too; doesn't stop people from watching it.

What's really interesting is that in keeping with the show, there will be no Intelligence score, as no one on the show has ever shown any.

Isn't that par for the course with comic books in general? SNAP!
Really TV programs in general never show the game wrecking ingenuity of PCs.

Hey, if it succeeds in bringing even a few more people to tabletop gaming, more power to it.

Actually, judging by the discussions that I've followed, this particular version of the Cortex System doesn't feature any traditional attributes. Instead, all actions are based on personal values plus relationships, why the characters do something and for whose sake. For instance, to protect your SO, you might roll Love + Boyfriend.

Ah, the definition of a super-powered soap opera.

With every success or failure critical... because everything is so important in TV land.
