Foreword

Welcome Home

Welcome to the world of Men and Supermen. As you travel through the world of super-powered fantasy, there is one rule you should keep in mind:

There are no rules.

Big Words

So, what’s this book about? The rest of the rules tell you how to create a superhero, what your numbers mean, and the rest of that shit. This book gives you some pointers on how to play the damn game.

Consider this a primer on the physics, sociology, and politics of a world with super heroes. This is a world where anything can happen, and, sooner or later, everything does.

Men and Supermen

The Hero’s Guide was designed expressly for the Men and Supermen superhero role-playing game. If you aren’t playing Men and Supermen, you may still find a lot of this information useful.
