~ Written by Dave Silva
Welcome back to Open Actions. It’s been a while since the last update. We suffered from cross country moves and hard drive death along the way. Thankfully, the raw recordings were not stored locally and after a bit of a recovery period we’ve been able to pick back up. Sorry for the long delay but let’s get things back on tra [...]

~ Written by Dave Silva
Recently a conversation came up after a recording session (yes, we are still recording, more on that later) asking about Gravity Control. The player wanted to know what how Metahumans Rising would handle the concept. Here’s what we put together.

While we normally stick to unique characters. That said recently I was given a build request for Batman Beyond, Terry McGinnis. For those that don’t know, Batman Beyond was an animated show airing from 1999 to 2001 and introduced us to a futuristic Gotham where batman had long been retired and crime had only gotten worse. The series was [...]

~ Written by Dave Silva
One of the new characters at Three Rivers is a boy who is able to transform into a brutish ape or as we’ve come to know him, Brorilla. As a super strong, super tough man of monkey business his player was looking for different ways to separate Brorilla from the positively perfect princess Arianna. Who, for those that do not listen to the [...]

Occasionally we find threads too tempting to resit. Most recently this came from The RPG Site. A poster asked for stats for deadly turkeys in different systems. So without further ado I give you: Gobbler, a flaming butter spitting giant turkey driven to hunt down those that would consume its fellow fowl.

Caught in Suceava, Romania when GEO, overthrew the local government, he was trained as an assassin only to betray his masters. Fleeing to the United States he tried to build a new life for himself only to become a [...]
Altitus: Starchild
Sep 07, 2016
~ Written by Dave Silva
One of the core concepts of Metahumans Rising is the idea of a retro-comic gaming. Taking the ideals of classic comics, dusting them off and giving them a fresh coat of polish. This is what inspired Starchild. Abducted at an early age Starchild spent a decade drifting in space, the test subject of intergalactic arms dealers the Ar’Dysis. Gene [...]
Altitus: The Shadow Dancer
Aug 24, 2016
~ Written by Llasnad
Shadow Dancer was built to be a trickster. The character went through many variations before I could finally settle on the shadow illusionist. I really liked the idea of a character with no offensive or defensive roles, instead relying on stealth and her illusions in and out of combat. Her illusions are reflections of the real world, pulled f [...]
