Publisher's blurb:
This accessory includes background material, plot hooks, supporting cast, new mobsters and trophies, and 10 ready-made scenarios for H&H Basic Rules. It has been specially designed for use in a sustained campaign that can take Heroes from level 1 all the way to level 10. And even if you don't play H&H, or even level-based superhero games, there is plenty of material here for inspiration in running a historical superhero campaign, no matter what system.
Why emulate the Golden Age of Comic Books? And so specifically the pre-war years? Comic books were pretty gonzo crazy back then. You could have a dope ring-busting G-Man, a funny animal character, and a planet-hopping galactic explorer all in the same anthology comic book -- back to back! It's that anything-is-possible feel I most wanted to emulate in H&H. Adventures also tended to be short and for small groups of heroes in the Golden Age -- perfect for the time-strapped small group of friends who want to get together to game on weekday evenings.
