Astonishing Super Heroes is a roleplaying game of superpowered action and drama. Streamlining the classic FASERIP system from the ground up via the OGL, Astonishing Super Heroes plays faster and adds dramatic roleplay mechanics to better represent the variety of challenges superheroes face in the comics, shows, and movies we love so much.

The Basic Rulebook includes:

  • Everything you need to emulate superpowered characters from any comic, TV show, or movie universe you’re already familiar with.
  • A revamped Karma system inspired by modern narrative RPGs and customized to your superhero’s identity: play an inspiring moral paragon, a clever mystic willing to deal with dark powers, a violent antihero, or a reformed villain.
  • Rules that promote teamwork and that can be as tactical or freeform as you want.
  • New rules for challenging social interactions using a stress and resolve mechanic, as well as leveraging money and resources against your foes.
    30 pages devoted to building custom super powers and gear, with over 100 fully-built powers as examples.
  • The Basic Rulebook also features great character sheets and comprehensive reference sheets, making it a breeze to run! Plus, it’s fully compatible with other FASERIP games, and broadly compatible with most four color supers games.
