Hearts and Souls
A superhero RPG with a simple narratively-focused system. Each character has a single motivation¸ systematized as Drive¸ such as Love¸ Guilt¸ or Spirit of Adventure. Players use Drive to gain a reroll by either improvising a monologue¸ or accepting Stress points. Once Stress maxes out¸ though¸ there are required failures. There are six attributes: Might¸ Deftness¸ Resilience¸ Brains¸ Prowess¸ and Resolve. Each attributed has a rank (Human/d4¸ Superhuman/d8¸ and Cosmic/d12) and scale (Ordinary¸ Extraordinary¸ Spectacular). The core book includes two sample settings. The main one is Analog Prime¸ where the world's greatest superhero team were just wiped out in an explosion. The minor one¸ Millenia¸ has reality slowly shifting over time. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
