Spectrum Games proudly announces the release of the Superpower Handbook, the second supplement for the Four-Color Heroics roleplaying game.

While the Four-Color Heroics Core Rulebook states that there is no definitive list of Powers in the game, the Superpower Handbook presents a list of *possible* Powers. You can implement them verbatim if you wish or simply use them as a starting point for creating your own Powers.

• Loads of Powers, divided into six convenient categories.

• Special Rules for each Power that enable you to make it truly your own.

• Examples of Powers built from the frameworks provided by the stock Powers.

• Advice for customizing the Powers to better suit your vision.

You can purchase the Superpower Handbook here.

21 years ago this week, the very first Spectrum Games product was released. To commemorate this milestone, we're unleashing a massive PDF sale that encompasses our entire catalogue. We specialize in games that faithfully and meticulously emulate genres or specific source material.
