An excellent framework for running supers in Genesys!

I have been using this supplement as both a GM and Player for well over a year now. And I must say it blows other popular Superhuman supplements out of the water!

Don't let the seemingly limited number of super powers put you off - with a little creative interpretation and application of the weaknesses, you can represent almost any power with the fairly balanced ones detailed here!

The setting is also really interesting, with enough tid bits of lore to spark imagination but light enough that it also works overlaid onto any superhuman setting.

If you're looking to run Superheroes in Genesys, Awakened Age is a must-have, if only for a peak at the unique ideas and mechanics,

The amount of love and attention that went into making Awakened Age is unparelleled and it shows! My favorite bit is probably the Talent "Shrubs" that are used similarly in Something Strange. Beyond that, though, Scott introduced the option to use these same rules but at different Tiers of superheroes. For example, street-level friendly neighborhood InsectBoy or cosmic-level you won't like him when he's mad Bulk. This adaptation to the Genesys ruleset opens up options for players and GMs to be able to tell the stories they want to tell and have their characters feel that way as well. Lastly, this is of course another title from Scott which means it is beautiful and excellently laid out! Top notch supers supplement and all around spectacular document regardless of the spanax and cape.

If you’re looking to run a Supers Game using the Genesys System, this is by far the superior product to do that with. While there are some things that could be added to not rely on the one shtick (Z-Gene) it’s opened ended enough to modify the setting to suit your needs. Further powers are promised, but the system is good enough to cover most powers your players might use and new powers can easily be added with the groundwork already set. It was a bold move to ignore the Magic System which seemed ripe for a Supers Game, but the use of talents is effective. Definitely a must buy.

This is the best of the pack for Genesys supers. The way evertything fits together is well-considered and there was a lot of work put into making sure everything fits the right tones and doesn't overcomplicate superheroes.
