Another Kickstarter venture. For some reason I thought Manual 1 was for a different game and didn’t go for the 2 book option, thinking only this was for Tiny Supers. Of course, I can occasionally be a bit of an idiot. What started as a message from me to the Publisher asking when these were hitting DriveThruRPG because I picked the wrong choice and wanted to grab Manual 1 when it came out, turned into getting an at cost link sent to me so I could pick it up as well. So, both volumes were at cost, so shout out to KYOUDAI for doing that when they didn’t have to, especially since it was 100% on me. Of course, I paid $4.50 in shipping twice, which each shipping charge was more than the cost of the book and tax combined.
Chapter One gives us some new factions with ‘new,’ ‘current,’ and ‘closed’ files with a history of the group, some of the lead and original members, and what happened to the group. Many of the groups were active in the 1960’s, and some current heroes have commandeered the names of the original heroes, while some are descendants of the originals. All files are written by the current head of STRIKE, The Director, or Strike-1. STRIKE, for the record, stands for Superhuman Tactical Response Initiative for Crisis Elimination (I know, but I didn’t create it). The rest of the chapters are Supers, both good and bad. Some are original, some not. All from the perspective of The Director, at this point whoever they are. Prices on DTRPG: pdf $4.99/softcover $9.99/combo $11.99.
