The 5E Superhero RPG CAPES & CROOKS is Now on Kickstarter

Crit Academy is known for creating incredible supplements for Dungeons & Dragons. Now, they’ve launched a Kickstarter for a new superhero RPG, Capes & Crooks: A 5th Edition Superhero RPG. For as little as $20 you can get everything you need to start creating superhero adventures. The book is 350 pages full of information for creating characters, running games, monsters and NPCs, a full adventure, maps, pre-generated characters, and more.

Capes & Crooks takes place in the ultra-modern world of Terra, a place of science, technology, evolution, and even ancient lost magic. 25 years ago people around the world suddenly found themselves mysteriously imbued with fantastical gifts. Now called deviants, these people take on many roles as they struggle to find their place in this new world. Some wish to use their gifts to help others, some to gain wealth and power, and some to do evil to satisfy their darkness. In a world where what is right, and what is the law often conflicts, how will you choose to use your powers and conceal your identity from those who wish to stop you?

Talking about Capes & Crooks, Justin Handlin said:

Millions of children grew up on comic books, cartoons, and superhero movies and I was no exception. Pretending to fly around a city, or stealthily creeping in the shadows on a dark night, or pretending to release blasts of energy from my hands (who am I kidding, I still do that!). With Capes & Crooks I can bring that childhood dream of becoming a superhero to life!
