Teen idol drama with superpowers, rolled at the table.
SuperIdols! RPG follows superpowered teen idols through midterms, rival acts and a singing tournament that the players themselves agree is rigged, with GM ErynCerise running the game. Much of the fun comes from the players stepping out of character to riff, and the scenes range from a question about drama-club costumes to fights in an arena.

SuperIdols! RPG is a tabletop actual-play podcast about teenagers who want to be idols and also have superpowers. The pitch is simple. The execution is loose and warm, and it is often broken up by out-of-character asides. ErynCerise is the GM, and sessions start with a familiar roll call. In the numbered campaign, the players are Dana, Tee, Luca and Liv. The show describes its table as queer and gender-diverse, and its current campaign uses Masks: A New Generation. The world mixes a school calendar with showbiz pressure. Midterms end, practice starts up again, and an in-game Saturday brings a SingStar information session for the idols who cleared round one of the tournament. Round two's theme is collaboration, which lands awkwardly for a group already tangled up with Sagittaria in a setup everyone at the table calls rigged. The GM leaves the choice open and says plainly that railroading is not the aim. The players go with the rigging anyway. Other moments are quieter. Luck magic is worked with twisting fingers on the walk to the stage while teammates pass it off as nerves. In 'Episode 42: The Enemy of My Enemy', a prickly conversation plays out without Jayden, whom the players credit with keeping everyone calm, while Rosette hangs back at the edge of the scene, watching. Side episodes get room as well. In 'Episode 37.5: Flashback - A Meeting with Yasmin', Vivi goes looking for the drama club president, who is pinning a doublet onto a mannequin for the school's Macbeth. Then there is Blast Off!, a miniseries introduced as a playtest mini-campaign, where Liv is joined by Keith, Ayumi and Kat. It is bigger and sillier. The characters shake off pursuing teachers, stop briefly at the Sasquatch Crossing Eco Lodge, and size up a teacher with electromagnetic storm magic, super speed and an insulated suit that gets him called a big old dork. In the Clash Dome, the Oracle sends a sonic scream back through a portal and uses an ability called Famous Last Words to add a parting insult. Leon Richardson is credited with dialogue cleanup, editing and mastering on the miniseries, apart from its first episode, and the theme music is 'Feel the Gravity' by Humans Win. Listeners who want a self-contained starting point can begin with Blast Off!. Those who want deeper character tangles will find them in the main campaign.
Made for: Suits a listener who likes actual play driven by character drama and group improv, especially stories about idol competitions, school rivalries and superhero stakes played both for laughs and for real feeling. Fans of Masks: A New Generation may also enjoy watching that system carry a showbiz story.
What sets it apart: It puts superpowered teen stories inside the idol business, so contests get rigged, fights happen on arena platforms, and a well-timed upstage can finish with a one-liner. The GM can be heard handing big story choices back to the players instead of steering the plot.
