THIS WAS EPIC! — Heroes not in Tights
A downloadable game
"There was a man, on a bus. The bus had no brakes."
THIS WAS EPIC! (¡E' STATO EPICO!) is an Italian narrative tabletop RPG where you don't roll dice — you draw from a 54-card deck. You have superpowers, but you also have problems — except your problem is, say, that you lose a finger every time you throw a fireball.
Set in Caos City, a metropolis between drama and farce: 70% epic, 30% darkly funny. Real, flawed heroes, "not in tights."
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
- 54 cards instead of dice. Draw, add, beat the threshold. Ace = Epic Moment. Jokers = the wildest scene of the night.
- Build a hero in 20 minutes: 50 points across Powers, HP, CON, PP (Patience), AGI (Agility).
- Every power has a price: mandatory narrative side effects.
- Built for a rotating GM and 3-4 hour sessions.
WHAT YOU GET
- Full English manual (PDF, 115+ illustrated pages, old-school tattoo art style).
- 20 ready-to-play NPCs with photos, 5 adventures, power tables.
