''Hold your noise!'' cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. ''Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!'' A fearful man, all in coarse gray, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. A man who had been soaked in water, and smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped, and shivered, and glared, and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin. ''Oh! Don't cut my throat, sir,'' I pleaded in terror. ''Pray don't do it, sir.'' ''Tell us your name!'' said the man. ''Quick!'' ''Pip, sir.'' ''Once more,'' said the man, staring at me. ''Give it mouth!'' ''Pip. Pip, sir.'' ''Show us where you live,'' said the man. ''Pint out the place!'' I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church. The man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. There was nothing in them but a piece of bread. When the church came to itself,—for he was so sudden and strong that he made it go head over heels before me, and I saw the steeple under my feet,—when the church came to itself, I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling while he ate the bread ravenously.

Super Awesome Action Heroes Second Edition Now On Sale! ( January 24th 2020 )

So fans of our actual play podcast Stormwood & Associates know that we use a role playing game system called Super Awesome Action Heroes which I created about fourteen years ago. I've always teased a print edition of that manual would come out, and once we started seriously running it with Stormwood (and I started to update issues the rules had I hadn't noticed), I started talking about a second edition.

Well, that second edition is finally here.

I'm happy to announce the release of Super Awesome Action Heroes Second Edition (how many times can I say second edition?). The rulebook is just as slim as the first edition, which is why it only costs $6.99 to buy. Characters created with the first edition rules should be 100% compatible with the new version, but some rules have been tweaked (and some Archetypes completely rewritten, removed, or added). An electronic version will eventually become available, but I haven't decided how I'll be putting that out yet.

I should also note that this is just the core rules, and does not include the Fantasy archetypes or the Supernatural add on. Those are still available on the official website for free, and will remain so even if they end up in a print expansion down the road too.

It's neat!
