Description

The Official Superhero Adventure Game is a superhero system with rules mainly for combat (basic and advanced).[1] The game includes dozens of hero and villain character descriptions.[1] A calculator is required, as math formulas figure prominently in the rules.[1]

Publication history

The Official Superhero Adventure Game was designed and published by Brian Phillips in 1981 as a 52-page book with a blue and white cover, and 32 cardstock sheets.[1] A second version was published the same year with a color cover.[1]

Reception

Lawrence Schick felt that the game system's rules were "confused" and "rudimentary".[1]

Reviews
gollark: I haven't read very much of it because I really enjoy modern fiction and such more.
gollark: Or, well, God ordering that.
gollark: It seems to say lots of things about killing people arbitrarily and such.
gollark: I don't know, but generally I lean toward the view that once a technology is reasonably practical to make with existing technology of the time, and it's useful for something, someone will make it.
gollark: Amongst some subset of the population to be fair, not *all* of it.
