#AltHero goes into the last week of its fundraising campaign with a big announcement: The RPG WILL happen! Vox Day said so over the weekend in the Darkstream.
This is a big deal for me, what with me being a tabletop RPG guy and all that. You want in? Go here and get your wallet out.
The press release on the matter is here at the Castalia House blog, but the important part is what I quote below:
“If you’re at all interested in role-playing games, I would strongly encourage you to back the RPG rulebook, as I think there is a very good chance that the system we are designing is not only going to be the best one for superheroes yet created, but will provide mechanics that translate effectively to science fiction, fantasy, and even military role-playing. What we’re doing here is more than creating a comics line, as we are building a strong foundation from which future offensives in the cultural war in comics, SF/F, and gaming can be launched.”
As I said previously, it's unlikely that Green Ronin will do this; they're SJWs. HERO Games is unlikely; they're SJW-amenable. Palladium would do it, but Heroes Unlimited is a mess and Vox Day would see this instantly if he read the rulebook. I'm hoping for something new, and the imitations on who's involved make that most likely now. In any event, conversions to your superhero tabletop RPG of choice won't be that hard to pull off. I can't wait to see this on the shelves, literal and digital alike.
