After seeing a Blade Runner hack for #Shadowrun, it occurred to me #Invincible would be a better chassis. So: forum.rpg.net/index.php?th...

Also, I'm officially coining the term "herowashing" to describe this endless parade of movies (and other media) trying to reinterpret supervillains into antiheroes or even heroes. If you want to do a villain movie, lean *into* it, for once. #herowashing

Fred Furtado @patchlord.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

I don't really get these villain films, but even if I did... Clayface, really? There are more exciting characters among Batman's foes. Poison Ivy, maybe? Still, I see the same problem as the Spider Sonyverse – my mind is always asking: where is [hero] to fill this [hero]-shaped hole in the movie?

The Tear of the Demiurge is possibly the most powerful artifact in the multiverse, with awesome powers that can be used anywhere in Creation. Wakedwellers become Walkers, an dthese become much more powerful. #wakewide #ttrpg #roleplaying #roleplayinggame #multiverse #systemagnostic #patchlord

The Great Fluid Dynasties are the Paragons of the Flux, the latest fallen Paradigm. They try to regain its former power by different methods. The Vrykolai, led by Duke Viocchio, hunt Paragons from other Paradigms in Wild Hunts. #wakewide #ttrpg #multiverse #systemagnostic #patchlord

There are many dangers in the Wake. One of the worst being wakevores, beings that feed on universes. Like the Higgs Beast. When it feeds, the laws of reality break down. For the wakedwellers, this process can last up to thousands of years. #wakewide #ttrpg #multiverse #systemagnostic #patchlord

One of Wakewide's main elements is a mapping system for the multiverse. It uses four axes (Magic, Tech, Time and Weird), plus Tags to place a wake in Creation. For example, this is Hyboria, where Robert E. Howard's Conan adventures happen. #wakewide #ttrpg #multiverse #systemagnostic #patchlord

I'm always creating new supers wordls in my RPG column, trying to explore different aspects of the genre, mixing it with other media, adapting from various soruces and using it all in my fiction writing as well. I'm also doing this on a multiversal scale with "Wakewide".

I'm assembling a frankensteinian superhero RPG. After listing the basic blocks, I'm writing up famous heroes to check if everything is working. The project can be followed on my Patreon and on RPGnet: forum.rpg.net/index.php?th.... Here's Superman's sheet (with art by John Byrne):

This is my first fiction writing credit in English! I'm superexcited, not just forme, but for my 23 anthology companions. I hope readers have as much fun (Fun? It's horror, Fred. You know what I mean ;]) as we did writing it. 🙂 brigidsgatepress.com/product/the-... bsky.app/profile/brig...
