@thoughtpunks If I woke up as an average starting PC in the last #TTRPG game I played... I would not be particularly screwed. I'd be an older, retired super-hero who's just trying to live a normal life but keeps getting pulled back into "Cape Life." So... I'd be roughly the age I am now, with a normal job of some sort... but I'd have superpowers!!
(The game is "Ex-Capes," an in-playtest PbtA game that uses the "Carved From Brindlewood" emergent mystery system. Written by Jim Crocker.)
