    We've completed fulfillment to Kickstarter backers, and print copies of Ron Edward's Champions Now are now available for purchase by the general public. 
     
    Forty years ago, Champions: the Super Roleplaying Game was inspired by off-the-leash newsstand comics full of weird and headstrong creators. No one knew where a story was going, and what “heroic” meant changed constantly. That’s why it was the first role-playing game to hand you and a few friends a creative studio, rather than a constructed genre package.
     
    This book presents an exploration of those first-generation texts as envisioned and redesigned by Ron Edwards, long-time Champions player, co-founder of the Forge, publisher at Adept Press, and author of diverse role-playing games. It contains all of the rules you need to create and play any hero and villain you can think of, procedures for the Now so your play-experience is a cutting edge rather than a railroad; and a nonstandard, in-depth examination of superhero comics informed by professionals and insiders.
     
    Like the original game, this one isn’t a setting or a quantitative breakdown of a genre. It’s for your own superhero comics experience. However you want it! Silly or not silly, cool or not cool, retro or contemporary, appropriate or inappropriate, safe or edgy, relevant or not relevant. Never mind what some franchise pays for, what a fanbase demands, or what the experts pontificate about.
     
    This is your studio. Let’s see what you make with it!
     
    Zip file includes PDF, MOBI, and ePUB versions of the book, as well as a character sheet.

    Originally published in 1989, we've converted high quality scans of the classic Champions: The Super Role Playing Game (4th edition) into a print-on-demand format on DriveThruRPG. They don't have the sharpest production quality when compared to a modern book, but they're completely legible and suitable for use by game masters and players alike.

    New from Hall of Champions: Dram is a solemn, minimal, 36-second instrumental piece to give ambiance to RPG settings. If you desire a short piece to introduce a tavern setting, a theme for a wistful bard to be played as the characters approach, or something in that vein, this may fill that role.

    Welcome to the inaugural installment of Monster Mash. Here you will find new creatures and/or new takes on old creatures for your Fantasy Hero Campaign.
     
    This installment will cover new creatures known as the Krazy Kat & Stone Wolf. Krazy Kats are cuddly small felines that many adventures encountering them don’t realize how dangerous they actually are until it’s too late. Stone Wolves are able to hide among rocks and get close to prey and kill them quickly or render them unable to fight back using their feared breathe weapon.
     
    Learn of these two creatures and maybe you won’t end up being their dinner.
     
    The ZIP file includes the PDF and Hero Designer files.
