So there I am

Playing Palladium's Heroes Unlimited.

FOUND UR PROBLEM

For our first characters, to figure out the system, we're allowed to pick our own powersets.

(Under Heroes Unlimited, you're supposed to roll for your origin. That affects[effects?] what powers you have access to. Everything is random, you don't pick anything.)

(So it was nice to let us build our heroes the way we wanted.)

So I roll for origin, education levels, resources, etc., then look at everything and make a speedster.

Basically a knockoff of Jay Garrick, but female because the group was all dudes and I felt like it needed something to keep from being a bunch of he-men saving the world.

Anyhow, things go down, and it turns out that, under the rules of Heroes Unlimited, I can do a ton of damage by being a speedster. Just by, say, tackling someone.

And then it turns out that I go just fast enough to break the sound barrier, which the GM rules means sonic booms. And I can instantly go from 0 to mach speed.

(Unfortunately, I get a lot of creepy GM NPC flirting.)

(Text based games.)

Anyhow, so. Uh. At one point, I just hit a door and knock it down, and kill every villain NPC in the room behind me. Then KO everyone else in the room before the party has a chance to step in.

Because speedster

And then they try to catch her in another warehouse and she gibs everyone and explodes the warehouse by creating about seven sonic booms one after the other. At this point the GM informs the party that speedsters won't be allowed again if my character ever dies.

(I'd probably pull my punches if this were a Silver or Modern Era Campaign)

(But this was the Golden Age and that meant )

(Especially when you kidnap kids.)

anyhow

So first he starts to get a little creepy

And talking about how he believes that Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion stuff is real.

And that we all share souls with our characters and they'd never do anything we wouldn't.

Then he started introducing some weird stuff into the campaign that I won't go into

And then he started throwing the literal SCP at us

And using things that've 'escaped containment' as challenges

Including things that healed so fast they were effectively immune to damage and could perfectly hit you no matter what.

And I just kinda ditched the campaign after a combination of that and him biting another player's head off for not having system mastery after four weeks.
