SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

As if anyone needs a new Superhero rpg

Thrills! Spills! Action! Adventure! Superheroic action using Light rules! Who wants to read through reams of text just to get to the action? No-one right? These rules assume you know how to role play. They assume you know about superheroes – especially those of the Golden Age. They assume you know how OSR products work. There, it's done. You know how to play already. Just get on with it. Biff! Smash! Bam! Kapow!

Light Superheroes
is an OSR product that takes S&W Light and makes a superhero rpg out of it, whilst keeping it light (only 16 pages). Characters are taken to 3rd level (as in S&W light). There are 5 backgrounds (Alien, Highly Trained, Mutation, Deity and Construct) and 7 classes (Brick, Detective, Daredevil, Metamorph, Psychic, Elementalist and Gadgeteer). It doesn't include rules for everything but it includes enough for you to play, if you know how these types of game work.

It's available on RPGNow and LULU for a very reasonable price.
