From publisher blurb: There's a Thin Line Between Genius and EVIL. Sky-Q is such a good "smart drug," it's a shame it's illegal. Users gain an hour of better memory and concentration--followed by fatigue, irritability, and other unpleasant side effects. A few steady users gain much more: They master exotic sciences and invent radical new technologies. They also develop bizarre megalomaniac obsessions and become supervillains! Some of them become loopy "theme gadget" criminals. Others are rather less funny. Here's what you get in Shared Origins: Sky-Q: Background and game mechanics for Sky-Q, the smart drug that works too well. Four sample villains who gained their powers from Sky-Q, from the farcical Mushroom Master to the monstrous Izverg. Each character comes with a complete character sheet, background, story seeds, and full-color illustration. One sample hero, ready to play or use as an NPC. A brief discussion of "Origin Substances as reusable explanations for characters gaining super-powers, with three additional examples of this classic origin story.
