Since this is the area where we can "post our house rules or to talk about rules in general", I figured I would ask a pretty basic question, that will no doubt lead to some rather "interesting" discu...

House rules I use (and Don't use) Different aspects of my RPG life have influenced how I play V&V. I normally try to stay close to the rules (even with House Rules) because I enjoy the challenge of squeezing a lot from the very min...

Knock Outs Hello. Time for me to pick your brains. One thing that has always bothered me about the standard knockout rules is that it does not factor in the relative health (i.e.: hit points) or toughness ...

Combat clock... thinking out loud. Gonna make what I think are some reasonable assumptions here, but feedback is appreciated. For the sake of a game that doesn't get bogged down by combat that never resolves, I was looking at "com...

Balance So, I've been looking at how we tend to look at the rules. We know that this is a game based on a lot of negotiation and reasonable assumption. What is missing from the assumptions of a GM contro... Started Jul 20^th, 2014 at 2:07am by AlabasterKnight	32	4771	Jul 23^rd, 2014 at 3:24pm By: Baretta
Force Field "revision" from VIGIL This was in the VIGIL fanzine that was recently unearthed, in an article written by Jeff Dee. I kind of like this idea. It replaces the way that the Force Screen portion of the Force Field power ... Started Jul 30^th, 2010 at 11:04am by Allen Shock « Pages 1 2 all »	45	10329	Jan 4^th, 2024 at 2:14am By: dsumner

V&V SRD? So I finished reading V&V last night, and while I didn't read every power (the print is way too small) I remember someone here saying they had a word document of the rules, sort of like an srd. I...

First Edition Combat Table Not everything from the 1979 edition of V&V translates (or holds up well) with the revised rules. But there are a few items on the combat table worth noting. Here are some of my favorites: I... Started Mar 3^rd, 2014 at 2:42pm by Baretta	23	3907	Oct 22^nd, 2015 at 11:49pm By: polarboy
Training Rooms and Experience Points I notice in the *Destroyers* module that the villains have a training room that can provide robotic sparring partners, flamethrowers, guided missiles, etc. akin to the original Danger Room in the X-Mans...

Bonus XP The rule book notes that a GM might give out as much as 500 bonus Experience Points per session to a hero. What are your guidelines for giving out extra XP?

Nightmare V&V This variation of the game works a lot like regular V&V, except that the super-powered community is rather debilitated.
