Just Us is a campaign played live in Atlanta in 2019, and again in San Diego in 2022.
Synopsis[]
We didn’t get to record at our usual time due to weather and power outages, so in lieu of a regular episode this week, we dug into the archives and found TAZ: Just Us, a live show Travis GM’d in 2019 in Atlanta!
For this show we played SuperNormal (designed by Ursidice), and our crew of super heroes attended just your average, every day company picnic. Of course, trying not to blow your secret identity is tough, especially when you can’t control your super-strength enough to squeeze ketchup onto a hotdog.
Premise[]
Big Company, Inc. is having an annual company picnic! Superheroes Opera Man, Hell Raven, and Doc Pantheon must participate in field day events at the company picnic, deal with a dearth of gluten free buns, and play a softball game against
System[]
The system for this episode is Supernormal by Ursidice. This is a mini RPG where players act as superheroes with unstable powers, just trying to enjoy their day off. The system uses six sided dice.
Doing something super powered is easy, doing something superpowered and showing it off is harder, and doing something normal? Very difficult.
