Team up and create an exciting world and its superpowered inhabitants! Single Unique Power is a collaborative cast-building and setting-creation game inspired by the “one person, one power” trope popular in superhero media, manga, and anime. Examples include mutations in X-Men, quirks in My Hero Academia, but also TTRPG staples like PbtA playbooks and class archetypes. In each of these examples, select characters all have unique, personalized powers. Everyone will be asked by the gamerunner to submit several random single-word prompts ahead of time. During the game, those prompts will inspire both our setting and the characters that live in it. We'll learn about their powers, weaknesses, and personalities. For some of them, we'll learn a bit about previous events that once occurred in their lives. You don't own any one character, as character sheets tend to move around the table, making their creations a group project. At the end of this game, we'll have created a setting populated by a colorful cast of characters as well as bits and pieces of their backstories. It's a fun standalone exercise, but it may also inspire you to take these characters into future games! 

This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, character creation, and worldbuilding.
