My Slightly Less Than Super Power RPG
A downloadable game
This comedy table-top role-playing game doesn’t require a GM or any dice. It has the minimum requirement of three players, although I think it would play better with more. This is a one-page RPG about 560 words in total
The game revolves around job interviews and superheroes, although not top-of-the-range ones, this is about those super-powered individuals that have been ‘blessed’ with rather pathetic powers. The heroes, in turn, have to impress the interviewers with their less than super powers. Each hero is posed a few questions, in job interview style and the heroes have to impress the recruiters with how amazing there less than superpowers are.
Eighteen rather lame quasi-superpowers are included, as well as some suggested questions to get you started.
UPDATE JULY 2024
Added Expansion One (More Puny Powers and Allies & Enemies Deck)
UPDATE AUGUST 2024

"Mind control Sloths" + "Giant Robo-Sloth" == your hero gets a mecha. Combo!
That would be very lucky of a player to draw those matching cards. Well done for catching that (I'm worried now that I might have some sort of subconscious sloth obsession ).
Hi Sinister,
This is a very clever concept for a game. I think it would be a very funny way to break up a more serious super hero campaign, or just as an improv exercise. Nice job.
Side Note: I am hosting a superhero TTRPG game jam and I wanted to extend a personal invitation to join. I am allowing reposts of games, so if nothing else maybe the algorithm will give your game a few more views! Jam

Check out the details on the jam page, and let me know if you have any questions!
Glad you liked this, I've more to add to this game, so there should be an update shortly(ish) with more lame(ish) powers which I've been brainstorming with my brother. Thank you for the invite to join your jam, I'll give it some thought.
