Not only will this be great for Hero System fans, but I have it on good authority that it will also feature Mutants & Masterminds and Savage Worlds options.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2000633882/darren-wattss-golden-age-champions?ref=ENN" target="_blank">[ATTACH]77797[/ATTACH]</a><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2000633882/darren-wattss-golden-age-champions?ref=ENN" target="_blank">GOLDEN AGE CHAMPIONS</a>The long-awaited Champions supplement for the Golden Age of Superheroes from 1938 to 1950, by longtime Hero writer Darren Watts!Smash the Axis! The Golden Age, beginning in 1938, created and defined the very idea of superheroics, and now the legendary superhero roleplaying game Champions has its definitive guide to this amazing era! Written by longtime Hero System designer Darren Watts, author of titles such as Champions Universe, Millennium City, UNTIL, Hidden Lands, Vibora Bay, and (along with Jason Walters) the infamous Lucha Libre Hero, this massive book will provide full coverage of the Golden Age subgenre, before, during and after World War II.This book will include:  •    A detailed examination of the earliest days of superheroic storytelling, describing the history of the actual comics and providing guidelines for simulating all of the elements and aspects of the Golden Age.  •    A complete description and history of the period between 1938 and 1950, both in the real world and the Champions Universe, focusing of course on the global conflict that involved over 100 million people and defined the “Greatest Generation.”  •    Extensive information and assistance in creating your own superheroes and villains, including Package Deals, expanded rules for Skills, Perks, Talents and Powers, and over 60 characters (both heroes and villains) from around the world of the Champions Universe setting.  •    A detailed timeline of the entire period, including important events in the fields of war, politics, science, and popular culture, as well as the strange and weird details that provide both color and plot ideas for your own campaign. Includes information and events from "Champions Universe Earth" with the permission of Cryptic Studios!• Play two heroes at once! Players will enjoy creating and adventuring with two distinct types of characters: mighty four-color superheroes who stay on the home-front to combat sinister supervillains and foil fascist schemes, and two-fisted heroic spy-smashers who fight alongside our soldiers in the trenches or undertake daring raids behind enemy lines.This project will also produce:• The Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes (second edition) is the definitive resource for information on the heroes of comics' Golden Age, the years from 1935 to 1949. Every heroic character from Abdul the Arab to ZX-5 has their own entry--nobody was overlooked or forgotten. The Encyclopedia also has a Taxonomy, breaking down the characters by category, so that if you want a quick list of all the superheroines of the Golden Age you can find it, and a list of characters by creator, so that if you want to know what characters Jack Kirby created or co-created, you can easily discover that as well. Truly one-stop shopping for information on the superheroes of the Golden Age, The Encyclopedia of Golden Age Superheroes is a must-have for fans of comics' Golden Age!There's a lot of energy and expertise behind this project, and it promises to be a vital source for anyone interested in the Golden Age of comics and superheroes.~SPF</blockquote>
