While it’s a little sparse on the narrative (sad face!), it does give you a solid set of rules in order to get you ready to take on some Nazi Ubermensch. Godlike by Dennis Detwiller and Greg Stolze explores the idea of superheroes during this time. In Rotted Capes, you aren’t trying to be super you’re trying to remain human.ĭo you like history? Do you like superheroes? What’re your thoughts about World War II? Well, if you’re a fan of the era, then do I got a setting for you.
You can’t be the shining beacon of hope when you’re starving and you realize that there are only enough beans in that can to feed one of you. You can play it ‘superheroic-y’, sure, but the beauty of the game is having these once virtuous symbols become something darker and human. What I love about Rotted Capes is that it’s really a survival story ready to be played. As a B-Lister, you’re one of the few lesser heroes not to be eaten by the hordes of the undead. Not only that, but the heroes that once protected the world from villainy have been transformed into undead monsters while still able to use their powers, think, and hunt the rest of humanity.
In the setting of Rotted Capes, the world lost the war with the undead. However, it would be a crime to not bring it up as it takes the superhero genre and flips it on its head. And you’ve probably heard our games as well. You’ve probably heard me talk about Rotted Capes several times. Below you’ll find FOUR superhero RPGs that break the mold from the typical hero setting and do something completely different. While our European brethren (many who have lost wars to us) have been watching this film, I’ve been gorging on all other things super heroic! I’ve watched Daredevil on Netflix, experienced the joys of kicking ass in Champions Online, and I’ve been able to read a ton of superhero RPGs! I’ve gone from Mutants and Masterminds all the way to some newer ideas on superheroic gaming, and let me just say – there are a lot of great games out there. Yes, I know, the people outside the great US of A got to experience the movie a week in advance I hope you all burn in hell for that. The Avengers: Age of Ultron is coming out this Friday for us Americans.
