Another Kickstarter venture fulfilled. For some reason I thought manual 1 was for a different game, so I didn’t go with the 2 book option. Of course, I’m a bit of an idiot sometimes. And what started as a message by me to the publisher on Kickstarter asking when these were hitting Drive-Thru because I’m stupid turned into my getting a code sent to me so I could get it at a discount. Big THANKS for that. As of 8/9/2025, they aren’t available on DTRPG. Will try to remember to update when it does go live.
Presumably both Manuals are set up the same. Chapter one gives us some new factions, with “new”, “current”, and “closed” files with a history about the group, some of the lead members, and what happened to the group. Many groups were active in the 1960s, and some current heroes have commandeered the names of the original heroes, while others 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. The rest of the book covers some current Supers, good and bad. Some are originals, some not. They include: Starfall, Red Mask, and Crusade.
