Astonishing Super Heroes Lives On in HEROIC The Role-Playing Game – Now on Backerkit

12/26/2023 / / 0 Comments

It was announced months ago that the FASERIP retroclone remix Astonishing Super Heroes was not going to be receiving the planned second book, Spectacular Origins, but the future was not bleak! We can finally announce the official news explaining what’s up!

HEROIC The Role-Playing Game by Zenith Entertainment Group has just launched on Backerkit!

Andrew Collas of ZEG has assembled a superpowered team of writers and editors to forge a new path forward, completing everything that Astonishing Super Heroes set out to do and so much more! This includes significantly revising an expanded list of powers, among a great many more revisions borne out of prolonged play tests. This will make HEROIC perhaps the single most comprehensive take on revising and streamlining the original FASERIP rules to bring them to a modern audience.

I’m truly excited to see ASH live on in a new and better-supported form. Please show your love by pledging to help out on Backerkit, and follow along with all the news and more gaming goodness at Zenith’s Facebook!

Let’s Start Over, Shall We? The MCU-inspired FASERIP Actual Play Podcast

12/29/2020 / / 0 Comments

Here’s a belated announcement if there ever was one!

I’m the Judge (read: 1980’s term for the Game Master) of ‘Let’s Start Over, Shall We?‘, the Marvel Cinematic Universe-inspired actual play where a massive cast of MCU fans play the 80’s/90’s Marvel Super Heroes Roleplaying Game by TSR. Additionally, we have only one rule: the dice fall where they may. Affectionately referred to as the ‘FASERIP’ system, this ridiculous game system is proving to be a blast for us as we mess up the Marvel Cinematic Universe real quick!

Even though we might sound like it, we’re not some big, well-funded program! We’re a bunch of MCU fans playing a fun game together. So don’t judge us too harshly! We’re producing the podcast so all of our players can stay up to date on the continuity. However, it sure helps that mastermind Leon Doell has been editing and polishing the episodes so they sound utterly marvelous!

Follow along in the fun, and if you’re interested in running one-shots that might expand our continuity as things go awry, we might still be recruiting!

Find us on your favorite podcast listening service via Anchor.FM. Also, keep an eye on the LSOSW social at Twitter and Facebook to get engaged, yell at my rules mistakes, and catch some cool content! We’ll release heroic and villainous character sheets, fun in-world asides, episode summaries to help you catch up or recap stuff really quick, and a whole lot more.

Stay tuned here as I share some behind-the-scenes stuff and mirror some of the content as we create it.
