What kid hasn’t pretended to be a superhero at some point: worn a cape, “flown” around, bounced imaginary bullets, or shot “blasts of power”? Why not? After all, the superhero is the perfect modern fantasy: powerful, respected, and loved by the public, but with a message of responsibility, duty, truth, and justice. In countless comic books, graphic novels, cartoons, and live-action television shows and films, superheroes continue to thrill and capture our imagination while also celebrating some of our better qualities. Who wouldn’t want to be a hero?

With ICONS, you can be!

Steve Kenson, designer of the best-selling Mutants & Masterminds delivers a superpowered role-playing game inspired by the fast-playing old-school games and the new generation of narrative role-play! Within its pages are complete rules for character creation, abilities and powers, random adventure generation, a rogue's gallery of villains, a complete adventure and all the superheroic action you can handle!

ICONS is a fast and easy superhero RPG. The creation of characters is straight-forward and the challenge of coming up with a background for the sometimes oddly paired powers is fun. In most cases, you could have characters roll up a character and be playi [...]

A solid game that incorporates elements of FATE to create a more character-driven super-heroes game which is just what I like. Overall, an excellent product although the artwork isn't really to my taste. The inclusion of random character generation means [...]
