D&D General Which D&D for Hometown Heroes?

[Paul Farquhar]

I seems to me that the issue is a narrative one: “why does this town keep attracting more and more powerful threats, up to universe shaking ones?” The best answer is, “it doesn’t”. I would be looking for a ruleset that makes the PCs less superpowered and has a low level cap.

Now I’m quite happy playing fantasy superheroes, so I don’t have any experience of modern systems that fit that description. I did look over Beowulf, but aside from that, my best actual suggestion that I have experience of is Basic.

The OP, not me! I live in the city, I don’t have much connection to a “small town” scenario!
