This is such a great game, and even free at that! I've been having such a blast within the past hour by just building the vast world with all kinds of insane stuff like magic, aliens, and metahumans, obviously. And of course, I have to talk about the art, too. I love the art style; it reminds me of all the comics I stealthily read at the bookstore when I was small... Setting up the table right now, gonna call my buddies over for a session, who I'm sure would love the game as well.
Seriously, this is one of the best finds I've come across recently on Itch.io.
I can't believe this book has gone under my radar for such a long time.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Hopefully, Metahumans Rising can provide you an expansive toolset to craft your worlds. Community copies were a bit thing for us as it removes barriers for people wanting to try new games. This is also why most of our adventures are PWYW, it helps to keep everything accessible. (The material that isn't has come from our now completed Patreon, for the Steel Aces comic, we wanted to still be able to offer it, but didn't want to minimize the aid our patrons provided as we brought the Aces to the page.)
Here's to your adventures to come, we hope you enjoy.
Metahumans Rising can facilitate most game tables, typically 2 to 6 players, with 3 or 4 being a kind of sweet spot. At conventions I've run one on one games, and once a table of 12 people. At that size though we got a bit wild and woolly to keep things moving.
I really enjoy the fluid way that characters can utilize their abilities in this rule set. The ability to spend session resources of your character to think of creative ways to add extra skills/power/abilities to your role as long as it is in a way that makes sense it pretty awesome.
Thanks for the callout r0wntree! The ability to adapt powers and tactics is something we felt was an iconic aspect of comics and superheroes. It's also something we wanted to make sure was represented in Metahumans Rising. We're glad you enjoy the game and the ways we tried to encourage creativity.
