Superhero B-Plots List & PnP Cards

This deck offers tools  for creating superhero secondary stories and hooks for play between missions, battles, and capers. It is useful for GMs and players of ttrpgs like Mutants & Masterminds, Hit the Streets, Masks, and Wild Talents. Each card of the sixty has three prompts broken into categories:

• Friends & Family: Problems and entanglements for NPCs in a player character's circle. Each is written loosely enough to be adaptable to all kinds of characters. 
• Personal Life: Things which happen in the day-to-day life of the PCs. These can be tweaked depending on if the character has a public identity or a daily grind job. 
• Superhero-Dom: Events connected to their time and experience as a hero.

These prompts can be used by the GM to generate new plots and events, or players can draw an select from a story idea which appeals to them. Ideally One or two players each week can have a B-Plot which may or may not get resolved that session. It's a great device for covering downtime.
