as well as extra XP and new minion rules.\u00a0 All of these make a lot of sense and you should incorporate them.<\/p>\n<p>This column, with help from the lists, concepts, and ideas in the <em>Heroes Unlimited RPG<\/em>, is a quick little start-up guide to get your creative juices flowing to make your own superhero campaign using Genesys!<\/p>\n<h2>Archetypes<\/h2>\n<p>First thing was deciding between Species or Archetypes.\u00a0 Because 90% of superheroes are human, it made more sense to pick from Archetypes.\u00a0 So, I would start your PC off with 2s in all characteristics, allowing them to move one up to a 3 and another down to a 1 prior to beginning to spend XP.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve pulled my favorites from the RPG and all the comic stuff I know.\u00a0 Here would be my choices for my players:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alien\n<ul>\n<li>Human-like<\/li>\n<li>Humanoid (Has an unusual physical characteristic like large ears, different skin color, etc)<\/li>\n<li>Insect-like<\/li>\n<li>Classic Alien<\/li>\n<li>Amphibian<\/li>\n<li>Demonic<\/li>\n<li>Feline-like<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Bionics (Consider the sponsoring organization, motive for getting the cybernetics, and status with the organization.)\n<ul>\n<li>Healthy Specimen<\/li>\n<li>Lost both arms\/legs<\/li>\n<li>Paraplegic<\/li>\n<li>Completely Paralyzed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Experiment (Consider the nature of the experiment and the type that went wrong&#8230;

(Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! Just outside Kansas City for those who don't know.) Scott is a veteran of several role playing, table top miniatures, video, and board games, starting with the Atari 2600 when he was 6, and the classic red box Dungeons and Dragons game when he was 12. After a long hiatus away from the hobby, Scott has recently picked up gaming once again, and is running two different campaigns in Fantasy Flight Games' Edge of the Empire\/Age of Rebellion\/Force and Destiny lines. He is an avid X-Wing miniatures player, as well as Armada, Imperial Assault, Space Hulk, and Rebellion. (His family is obviously a Star Wars family, right?) Scott is married to his high school sweetheart, and has 2 children in middle school, both Black Belts in Krav Maga martial arts.","url":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/author\/scotter23\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1164"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12438"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12644,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12438\/revisions\/12644"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
