San Angelo: City of Heroes

San Angelo: City of Heroes Welcome to San Angelo: City of Heroes, an exciting campaign book for any superhero game setting. San San Angelo is truly the City of Heroes. Heroes, every one.

Some of them soar through the sky or shoot fireballs from their fingertips. Picking up a car means no more to them than hoisting a barbell does to you or me. Incredible inventions, weird creatures and travels to bizarre places are everyday occurrences in their world. Clad in their colorful costumes, these heroes awe, amaze and inspire the rest of us. But other heroes in San Angelo wear costumes of

a different kind. They pin on badges or pull on heavy fire gear before going to work. A pilot's helmet, a reporter's notebook, a first aid kit or a teacher's chalk -- these are the tools of the Golden City's everyday heroes. And still others do nothing more extraordinary than go to work every day, just to put food on the table and a roof over their kids' heads. They build the houses, make the factories go, grow the food and keep the streets clean. They make the city work, and ensure that it keeps on working for their children after them. Heroes, in a City of Heroes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This book presents four-color Champions in three dimensions -- a vibrant world of superhuman powers, gadgets, hero teams, dastardly enemies and all the other hallmarks of the comic books, carefully packaged in a cohesive setting with a nod toward realism. No Champions campaign can promise total realism -- and such a campaign wouldn't be much fun anyway. Part of the joy of Champions is the utter unreality of it all. To fly, punch down brick walls, bounce bullets off your chest ... who wouldn't want to be a superhero? But continuity and cohesiveness aren't beyond the reach of Champions. Nor are cities that are more than mere scenery for titanic slugfests, or well-rounded characters, superpowered or not, with real-life desires, fears and aspirations. Moreover, a fresh breeze is stirring in the comics industry. After years of grim storylines and gritty anti-heroes, the four-color protectors of truth, justice and liberty are making a dynamic comeback. Hope, joy and a sense of optimism are returning to the comics, tempered by insights gained from deconstructing the superhero genre. As a result, every aspect of the comics and Champions campaigns, from high-tech corporations to the very origin of superpowers, has been re-evaluated for this book to foster a refreshed, revitalized approach to the age-old world of superheroes. Inside these pages, you'll explore the bustling streets of a living city with a rich history, visit interesting landmarks, meet hundreds of fascinating people, uncover villainous plots and, perhaps, spot a hero or two soaring in the sky far overhead. Best of all, you'll get to step inside this world and walk around for awhile. Find out what it's like to fly, or shoot energy blasts, or toss tanks around. Join a team. Fight crime. Save the world. Be a hero. Welcome to San Angelo: City of Heroes.
