HEROPLEX

Heroplex

an RPG MMO Concept 

Heroplex lets players explore a world where every person has a superpower. But, maybe those powers are self destructive, or temporary, or just totally useless. That sense of absurdity grounds the series in a self aware silliness. 

​

Players begin their journey in an event that activates their own power. Those events can be totally randomized, or chosen in order to begin with a certain skillset. That autonomy can have scaleable degrees of randomization to achieve a spectrum of spontaneity. 

This RPG Concept originated with the basic "Which superpower would you choose?" conversation starter.  Here's how to play at home. 

 

Going around the table clockwise, each player takes a turn rolling for a randomized super power. If you accept your result, congrats! But now roll once more to see what you *could have* won instead. If you weren't happy with your original result, you still have the chance to roll once more, but you are stuck with that second power and can’t go back to the first.  As each person takes their turn, allow for debate over which power would come out on top in combat, or win a foot race, survive in space, etc.
