Hot on the heels of Warping, we give you Surfer!
Surfing super-heroes are any that stand up to ride, or slide along, something that they might be knocked off of. It might be goblin-themed glider, a cosmic surfboard, or a bridge made out of ice.
Many thanks to Jeff for playtesting this Power-Set recently. It was one of the earliest ones I wrote, but it needed some love.
Remember, you can find me running games of this at Gateway in Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend. Come by and play!

After a couple of successful play-tests, I’ve added the Warping Power-Set. If you’ve ever wanted to teleport to work or school to avoid traffic and get an extra few minutes of sleep, this power is for YOU! Thanks to Jeff and Aldrin for creating characters with these powers!
I’ve also updated the Flight and Speedster Power-Sets to fix a mechanic that allowed people with a lot of movement to add too much of that movement into attacks. Some is OK, but not as much as the players discovered. This is why we play-test! I’m grateful to Anders and Chad for their ability to min-max and find this problem!
Awesome news! A play-tester from Gen Con has volunteered to help me create an online Hero-creator! Keep your eyes here for more detail as it comes together. I have no idea how long this might take, but I’ll be thrilled if you see it before Gen-Con 2016.
Also, a reminder that I’ll be at Gateway (Strategicon) in LA over Labor Day weekend running THI. My time slots are:
Good news! I’ve just signed up to run 7 (seven!) 4-hour The Hero Instant games at Gateway, the Strategicon convention here in Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend! I’ll run a 3-episode mini-arc, but don’t worry about jumping in anywhere, we can catch you up to the story!
Here are my time slots:
Will I see you there?

A giant Thank You to all the people who came out and tried The Hero Instant in the First Exposure Play-test Hall! I ran a 2-hour session 5 times there (and one more time for some friends), and all the feedback is SO useful. Thank you so much! I hope you all had as much fun as I did.
Next up! Fantastic Four opens today, and so I think my first task is to finalize the Earth / Stone Power-Set and add it to the list. That way, if someone were to want to create those characters in this game, one could do so.
Here’s how I’d do it:
Maybe they should ALL get at least one level of Science? How would YOU make them?
Cheers!

I’m thrilled to be off to Indianapolis later this week for the Grand Unveiling of this Super-hero RPG!
I’ll be play-testing short (2 hour) games with pre-generated characters in the First Exposure Playtest Hall:
Or, just hunt me down! I’ll be in the spiffy red shoes and giving away these Progression Tokens that you can use when you finally play! I’ll give you a stack of them if you promise to GM a game!
