Lt. Wilson "I know there has been alot of criticism of the recruiting we have done for our SPAT team. I am here to say these are good people, but the critics need to understand you can not hire Super Heroes with perfect personalities on our budget."

Hometown Heroes is a Super Hero-based role playing game, with an emphasis on fast gameplay and enjoyable characters.

Several years ago, disappointed at the lack of existing systems for Super Hero RPGs, a friend and I decided to write our own. We learnt a lot in the process, even though the results were far from perfect. Home Town Heroes is my latest creation, built upon the foundation of the lessons learnt from that earlier attempt.

If you like tracking down the bad guys, role playing humorous situations and just general light-hearted gameplay then this is the game for you.

Brief History of the world of Home Town Heroes

After the first atomic bombs were dropped, some people began developing extraordinary abilities. As the years went on the world was defined as Supers and Norms, with the rights of Supers being somewhat infringed. As time went on the sheer number of Supers forced them to be recognized.

Today Super Heroes make up about 1% of the population, so the police have to have some muscle to deal with the criminals they may run into. In the 60's they added SPAT (Super Powered Assault Teams) to their forces. Initially they were just extra muscle, now they handle their own cases assigned to anything that looks like it might involve supers.

The characters are members of local law enforcement in an alternate reality of the area the players live in. However as local governments budgets are limited, certain personality traits (flaws) are overlooked.
