About the adventure
You are Nova!Force (Trademarked). America's first superteam. Fawned over by politicians, sanctioned by the Department of Justice, and paid for by a bloated defence budget. Celebrity-heroes with agents and an open spot on any late night show you want. They came to you just hours after you gained your powers offering you fame and wealth and a job. To be a superhero. To be America's hero. To protect the the US from threats both foreign and domestic. To protect America from itself. This is a campaign that begins with the American Dream TM before diving into the blood and bodies that lie is built on. One part federal agents, one part rescue technicians, and one part boy band. Superheroes forged by market testing and governmental agendas. Baptised in quantum fires, reborn as incarnate gods, drunk with fame, and sacrificed on the altar of power. What will you do? What world will you make? In this campaign, players can expect to: - Fight villains from organized criminals to Elite mercenaries to Super Supremacists - Rescue innocents from villains and disasters - Navigate the pitfalls of sudden celebrity and wealth - Be asked what will they do with the power of a god

About me
I've been running games in every medium (tabletop, larp, and pbp) and system for 20+ years - and playing for more than 30. I have run a lot of games in a lot of systems. I have a special fondness for weird fantasy, mystery, and body horror but I can do almost anything. As I have found over the many years of being a Perma-GM. I believe strongly in Safety Tools and Session 0s (which I will never charge for). I am very much against gatekeeping, ableism, racism, transphobia, homophobia, and all such things. I am actively opposed to these ideologies. And I tend to make my bad guys agents of said 'isms and phobias. I mean... who doesn't like to punch Nazis? Outside of gaming I have degrees in Psychology, Criminology, and Marine Biology. The moment we get a dolphin serial killer I am set. I was - many pounds, injuries, and chronic illnesses ago - a competition boxer, kickboxer, and grappler. I love to read. Especially weird fantasy or sword and sorcery.

What Eric The Social Justice GM brings to the table
I am a Rule of Cool GM with a lot of experience rolling with the punches. I will be using ambient music and scene specific scores. Expect combat to be tactical but easily accessible. Combat should be a challenge and not an exercise in frustration. You can expect a lot of roleplay as I am a story heavy GM. I am also a big fan of mysteries and investigations and political intrigue and conspiracies.

How Eric The Social Justice GM creates a safe table
In Session 0 we will go over player and GM expectations. Session 0 will be free. Lines and Veils will be a Google doc linked to you. Same for Stars and Wishes. The first before campaign begins. The second after each session. Breaks and X cards will be handled in game or over direct message on Discord if you are uncomfortable doing so publicly.
