Mystery Men! Now Available As Free PDF

Just click the Mystery Men! cover to your right and you can download the game from Lulu.com for free. I'll have the book available soon - looks like it will be in the $8 to $9 range. I want to order one myself first and get a look at it to make sure the color images look okay in black and white. If not, I'll have to make a second PDF with the black and white images in place of the color images and re-upload it ... and nobody cares about this but me.

So, this final version includes all the rules you need to create heroes and villains and run scenarios. It also includes the Shore City sample setting and a sample scenario you can run.

Enjoy the free e-book for now, and the book will be coming very soon. If you find anything amiss with the e-book, please let me know so I can fix it before the book goes live. Also - if you download it, please take a few minutes, make a character, and share it with us here.

Edit: Already found an error! Apparently, an older draft of chapter 2 found its way into the game. Honestly, I have no idea how I managed to do it. Essentially, the only changes involved spelling, grammer and layout, so if you've downloaded it you could still play with chapter two as written, but I'm going to get that fixed as soon as possible - probably tomorrow morning sometime.

Have fun saving the world!

    Excellent, well done!

    I did notice in the adventure that The Brute has the Clown's description

    Thanks! It's good to know that when I screw up I don't do it in half measures.
