Hideouts & Hoodlums

A fantasy roleplaying game that replaces swords-and-sorcery conventions with the Golden Age superhero genre of the late 1930s. Players portray archetypal heroes who confront criminals, mad villains, strange threats, and other dangers in a morally straightforward comic-book world. The rules are based on an early fantasy roleplaying system, using a small set of adaptable mechanics rather than an extensive catalog of powers. Characters can develop from capable novices into powerful fighters, master magicians, or heroes able to perform increasingly remarkable feats.
