Hello! Long time no comment, I know, but wanted you to know that I am just starting a project of creating three new superhero settings in three diff game systems: one of them will of course be created from S3 Lite, and one each from two other great, fast, and easy games also hosted here on itch! I'll be posting them on my personal blog. More soon if you wanna know. Hope all is well!
Please please please keep me posted on this! I would love to see what you create, and thank you so much for letting me know.
Also, I'm excited to do be working on the next expansion for this game, Faultline City!
Go Max go!
I need the blog link, stat!
My little project is WAY behind "schedule," so I've only created (and posted about) like one character so farm created in Jeff Moore's "High Five" system, but as soon as I have some stuff up for S3 Lite I will let ya know!
Instead of "building a universe," I have pivoted to writing my own "S3L PHB2," which will add a random character creation system, as well as opening up more options for Regaining Resolve, and also allowing an option for ALL archetypes to Spend Resources for cool effects, etc.
I have some this already written up, and I should have a post on the blog with "rough draft" by this weekend.
Awesome, I would love to see the link when it's ready
Okay! I reduced the scope again, mostly because I need to know my limitations :)
Here is the link at my first draft stab at creating a new Archetype!

Congrats on the launch!
Thanks MC! Your vibes helped make it possible.
