## Resource

Roll for Origin: Supers TTRPG History looks at two related RPG systems. First Godlike , the World War II supers game that leans into realism and consistency. Second Wild Talents , the evolution of the systems from Godlike which can follow that history or be recast into a generic supers RPG. The hosts look at what both games do, their place in the history of gaming, and the influence of related comics media. They wrap that up general discussion, including what what's weird and what they dug. If you dig this series, please rate, review, and subscribe.
