Sadly, for the first time in decades, I am not in a position to make such a purchase at this time. I'll keep an eye on it though.

DriveThruRPG has a Godsend Agenda Mega-Bundle on sale for $34.

He put a new edition of GA this year, which is probably why this bundle deal was made. The new edition's system is not D6 though. It is the Omni system that he used for the Hellas RPG (Greek mythology-infused space opera). The new core book is the largest RPG book I own. The premise of GA is extremely creative and well beyond anything I ever expected for a superhero game. It's a fascinating setting.

D6 Powers is a setting-neutral companion to GA. It is just superpowers and the rules for them.

D6 Powers alone is only $2. In 2021, I posted that the price was $1.34. So it is going up. If you can, get it while the gettin's good!

Purchasable Power - Psionic Radar

Similar to Radar Sense, Psionic Radar lets you know where living beings are near you. It does not let you see inanimate things, like walls and cars, street lights. It does allow you to track people and recognize them without seeing them. To put it another way, you can't see walls, but you can see if there's someone through a wall.

Psionic Radar is limited by distance.

Psionic Radar does not let you read minds, you still need telepathy for that. It does help a great deal with telepathy.

Minor Power - Enhance Attribute

The scaled down version of Super Attribute, Enhance Attribute increases an attribute at a 1 pip for 1 pip ratio. 1D in Enhance Strength increases your strength roles by 1D.

No plans for Enhanced speed combat and running, though I may play test it.

No need for enhanced healing since we already have regen.

I need to decide if I should come up with rules for the following 'other' powers:

- Turn other invisible

- Turn other Intangible

- Grow/Shrink other

Basically being focused on doing this to others or objects beside yourself. It came up in the game tonight. As the rules stand you can only affect other things if you're touching them. I don't think this is a problem, I'm exploring possibilities.

The idea of growing something else like Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers is particularly interesting

Minor power - Purchasable power - Animal Transform

You choose a specific animal and can transform into it at will.

I'm open to a few small bonuses, generally a 1D to a skill depending on the form, or allowing someone to turn into a bird so they can fly, etc.

Bonus examples might be +1D damage for claws, or +1D to sneak, or +1D to search/track, depending on the animal chosen.

Bonuses are matched with negatives as well. If you go for a creature the size of a house cat or a seagull then you're one scale size smaller which is a 2D difference from human scale. If you choose to turn into a larger animal for combat reasons, like a bear or a moose, you'd be one scale size larger, etc.

I don't feel the need to codify all the bonuses, frankly there are too many animals out there to list them all. Talk it over with the GM and work out what you both feel is fair. After playing a few sessions expect to reevaluate and see if things are working out the way it was intended.

I'm tempted to add 1 pip of energy generation, energy control, and flight control to the Superman.

I may need to find someone to GM a solo game for to play test the build.
