THE RUNNING MAN (Glaser, 1987) is my go-to when I need to get in the GRIDSHOCK mindset.
Just waiting for Free League to drop the Invincible RPG Beta and/or add superpowers to the Year Zero Engine SRD...

I could see myself statting up characters from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe for Free League's Invincible RPG. I'd probably just go with the Deluxe Edition/Update '89 era, because to me, those are the "classic" versions of the characters. It's also the era TSR's Marvel RPG covered.

I got this for Christmas. It isn't exactly telling me anything I didn't already know, having published a game setting a couple years ago, but it does a good job of putting some things into perspective and making them clearer. It might help me do a better job of presenting that world next time.

Surprised to find a couple of (very thorough) summaries of two of the GRIDSHOCK 20XX zines on Reviews from R'lyeh recently.
It sounds pretty nuts when you boil it all down the way these reviews to, and I guess it kinda is!

I wrapped up a year-long Dragonbane campaign last night. That's the longest stretch of uninterrupted time I've spent running any TTRPG, by far.
I had a few problems with the adventure, but I definitely got my money's worth out of Path of Glory. Thanks, Free League!

It's been fun to see YZE's core audience announce that they're not big fans of superheroes, but Free League's Invincible RPG looks like it was their excuse to make a TSR Marvel Superheroes (FASERIP)-style game using the Year Zero Engine, and I'm absolutely on board with that. Target audience: me.

When I run published adventures, I have this tendency to want to just get to the next section. Usually not a big deal, but if I've been running that published adventure for a year, the lack of roleplaying opportunities starts to become noticeable. Something I need to work on as a GM.

Last year, I converted three character options from Operation Unfathomable to Dragonbane. Now that I have much more experience with running Dragonbane, I think two of them are rather underpowered, but I still think I did a decent job with them:
