Astonishing Super Heroes is a roleplaying game of superpowered action and drama. Streamlining the classic FASERIP system from the ground up via the OGL¸ Astonishing Super Heroes plays faster and adds dramatic roleplay mechanics to better represent the variety of challenges superheroes face in the comics¸ shows¸ and movies we love so much. The Basic Rulebook includes:

• Everything you need to emulate superpowered characters from any comic¸ TV show¸ or movie universe you're already familiar with.
• A revamped Karma system inspired by modern narrative RPGs and customized to your superhero's identity: play an inspiring moral paragon¸ a clever mystic willing to deal with dark powers¸ a violent antihero¸ or a reformed villain.
• Rules that promote teamwork and that can be as tactical or freeform as you want.
• New rules for challenging social interactions using a stress and resolve mechanic¸ as well as leveraging money and resources against your foes.
• 30 pages devoted to building custom super powers and gear¸ with over 100 fully-built powers as examples.
