RPG Resources

Information for my campaign can be found below, along with articles on character creation which I recommend all my players to read and some miscellaneous RPG articles.

Superhero roleplaying is a unique genre which plays very differently to more traditional forms of RPG. The modern hero story has to be both innovative and cliched, appeal to todays world yet retain the innocent ideals and kitsch humour which typify the superhero genre.
Unlike combat, puzzle solving or political intrigue, superhero roleplaying comes down primarily to good roleplaying. If you ever find yourself not knowing what to do or how to play a situation, just imagine the panels you would see in a comic. The emphasis should be on cool action poses and good stories.

Beneath all this, one beacon shines bright. No one knows what brought about the frankly unlikely circumstances which gave them their powers, no-one know why it has happened now. Some attribute it to a gift from God, some the next phase of human evolution, some pure coincidence. Nevertheless, they are here.
The Heroes.
These brave few are determined to make a difference . they are but a handful, yet their powers elevate them beyond the stength, speed and skills of ordinary men. Their task is great. Their greatest challenge will be not in victory over villians, but in reaching the hearts and minds of the people.

It will take more than super-powers to succeed in a world which has lost hope. It will take extraordinary strength of character and an unwavering belief in those ideals they hold strong...
Hope
Justice
Freedom
