I heard a horror story about a Rift Supers game run at my old meetup where the characters were caretakers to a superman analogue who was stripped of his powers and left a wheelchair bound, mentally disabled moron. None of them had powers either. There is no limit to how stupidly dark a superhero story can go.

Every other game line is some form of, "you're a monster; how do you deal with your existence?" (Well, I hear Geist is pretty upbeat apparently; I don't know much about that one.)

Mood
The mood of a Geist chronicle is informed by morbidity, but not shackled to it. The protagonists are alive, given a second chance and the ability to experience the worlds of both living and dead. And like many people around the world, in this age and every other, they look on the specter of mortality and laugh. Eat, drink and make merry, as the adage goes, for tomorrow you may die. Geist is informed by Dia del los Muertos and Carnivale, by Halloween festivals and solstice fires.
Of course, not all those who look upon Death choose to live as a bon vivant. Some act with desperation; others act out pageants of wrath and revenge or a grim, final justice. They may laugh at gallows-humor and make love furiously into the night, or they may choose to walk by themselves at night, finding beauty in the stillness and dark. But they are alive, every last one.
This is the emotion that fuels the Bound. You have died. You will die again — you know this. Death surrounds you wherever you look. The multitudes of the dead are your cohorts and your responsibility. But you are alive, and can pursue whatever life means to you. Live.

That first part with the Elf is a call-back to earlier versions of D&D when detecting secrets was a racial ability of Elves, but as far as I know that isn't a thing in 3rd Edition anymore. Further, "passing within 10 feet" implies that maybe the writer was still in the older D&D mindset of a 10-foot gridded map, whereas 3rd Edition was already using 5-foot squares.

STRETCH

The Stretch is a Delta capable of treating their own body like rubber to elongate, grow or slip through small spaces. It’s the Mr. Fantastic powerset.

Your limbs can stretch up to 30 feet. You can squish yourself and slip through a hole as small as an inch wide. You can also increase your height or width or both if you really stretch up to 5 times your size. A Stretch also gets natural body armor: 10/- against Piercing attacks, 20/- against Blunt attacks. Everything else goes through. They also get fast healing rolls every eight hours, on par with the Tough. For Tricks, they get:

Pliable Face: Extra successes on a Spirit roll add +1 to Disguise rolls.

Superstretch: Every extra success on a Spirit roll gives +1 yard to a single limb’s stretch.

Wrap Attack: Extra successes on a barehanded roll can be used to grapple a target. Make a hit location roll for every extra success and then make a single Strength roll that applies damage to all locations at once. The grapple is automatic and requires a close combat roll to get loose from the grapple.

Thoughts on the Stretch: You’re a weakened Tough with some other abilities tacked on and it’s honestly surprising this doesn’t have any downsides. The ability to slip through cracks isn’t that bad, stretching isn’t awful. I would rather be a Tough, though. I would rather have that flat 20 armor for everything. The big seller is the grappling but even then it’s nothing special.

She’s an American Indian with Stretch powers and I don’t have much more to say. She doesn’t have much to her stats and doesn’t have much to her quirks and there’s not much to her period.

I don't like the way Carmen's written up ended up wording up that she's a selfish bitch because she has depression.

Really, it's kind of hard to see the appeal of the setting with how badly the adventures are written.

Just on the subject of CofD has anyone had a read of the Leviathan fan game that someone brought out? I think it had a few good ideas but needed some work, what about you guys?
