I always find it hard to actually label Superhero games. Are they Pulp, modern or sci-fi? I hope it’s okay if I post them here?
A few months ago I acquired a cheap version of Super Missions Force and decided to start a new project, one that I have been wanting to do for a long time.
At first I did some characters of my own creation and from the Athwart Time campaign book, but when I talked to my kids about the game they weren’t really interested in a game that didn’t feature any well known pop culture characters.
Kids these days .

07/10/2021 at 02:46 #162736Wouter WolputParticipantAthwart Time characters ‘Nasty Gran’ and ‘Coldheart’
Supers system hero T-Bolt (which for some reason is described as solar powered)
And some villains of my own creation: Promethea and ‘The Controller’
And finally dr. Half Life and Gordon Freeman, which I simply had to put in the same picture.

07/10/2021 at 10:24 #162756Wouter WolputParticipantThanks both of you. More are coming as I still have some characters for the campaign to go. My children also made me promise to procure some Avengers, which may end up replacing the protagonists in the AT campaign.
@Ian
Athwart Time is like an extension to the main SMF book and contains both cooperative/solo play and a short campaign.
@Telzy
The Benjamin model is an Earth Elemental sidekick from Bombshell miniatures which I slightly changed. Invisible girl is a simple hands swap on a Rebel Black Widow model.

I’ve had the urge to try super hero games now and then but I could never figure out how it works with characters being super powerful and the super powers. This reminds why I was interested int eh first place, a chance to do some strange and out of the ordinary minis and paint them however I want.

Thank you and go for it! I can’t wait to see some superheroes in 6mm (or smaller). There are plenty of excellent systems out there, but so far I like Super Mission Force the best as it has both the option to build your own and enough simplicity to play a quick game without having to check the rules all the time. On top of that it uses d6’s.
