Supergame: Super-Powered RPG (3rd Edition)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Watch Out, Super-Villains!

Originally published in 1980, Supergame was one of the earliest roleplaying games specifically designed for super-powered heroes. This all-new, third edition provides quick and exciting gameplay without straining your budget.

  • Create your own hero in minutes that can be recorded on an index card.
  • Use a wide range of powers with effects that can be measured with universal benchmarks.
  • Size the scope of action with six different scales.
  • Spend hero points to call on fate, summon resolve, pull off stunts, and shrug it off.
  • Customize the game with various options.
  • Use 4DF (+/–), D6 (six-sided), or D10 (ten-sided) dice (the choice is yours).

This core rules book provides everything you need to play, from an easy system for creating heroes to fast gameplay, as well as advice on building your superhero settings and adventures.

Note: This download contains the same content as the Softcover.

Also check out Poseidonis, a setting sourcebook and The Superverse campaign sourcebook.

Focus on "mere mortal" action with Agents and Vigilantes.

Here's what people are saying:

"Supergame 3e is amazing. Best small package supers game ever."

"Supergame 3rd Edition is so good... I was happy to see it's sleek and fun."

"I am thoroughly enjoying the book."

"...the Powers system is a stand-out, and seems pretty original..."

"...makes the point-allocation process feel far less 'bean-county' than other systems."

"This is a good one...very original system."

"...rules covering a wide variety of common comic tropes. I love it!"

"Great little game with just enough 'crunch.' It's not overly bloated and complicated like most superhero RPG's tend to be."

A superheroes RPG.

BRETT'S EDITORIAL
This is superheroes in a small and inexpensive package. Its concept is one of consistent benchmarks and dice-rolling. For those familar with MasterBook, its value scale is similar to benchmarks, determining distances, areas, quantities, and so on, whether as capabilities or as difficulties. Powers are grouped into clusters, making access to related powers easier to gain. Also of note is an extensive section on creating stories, challenges, and villains. My personal favorite element of the game is being able to use Hero Points to shrug off wounds, perform stunts, gain initiative, and introduce plot devices.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
