Hero Borg

THE HEROES ARE DEAD.

The villains are dead too.

HERO BORG is a rules-light, lethal superhero tabletop RPG about the people who were never powerful enough to matter—until now.

The world's greatest heroes and villains have been wiped out. What remains are the Unknowns: ordinary people with strange, limited, and sometimes ridiculous Powers. Powers that come from their hands, knees, ears, toes—or wherever else the dice decide.

Now six Syndicates are carving up the city, anyone using their Powers for good is a target, and something buried beneath the streets is beginning to wake.

You aren't Superman. You might be a janitor who shoots fire from his pinky.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Fast, rules-light character creation

- Random Primary and Secondary Powers

- Powers tied to randomly generated body parts

- Elemental Immunities and Weaknesses

- Careers, origins, personalities and quirks

- A complete sandbox city divided between six competing Syndicates

- Mission, NPC, enemy, location, trap and street-event generators

- Solo, cooperative GM-less, and traditional GM play

- The Oracle for answering questions when there is no GM

- Resolve for those moments when your Hero absolutely needs something to go right

- Brutal combat, injuries, scavenging and character advancement

- The Collapse, a Doom Clock that permanently changes the city and eventually ends the world

BUILT FOR THE UNEXPECTED

HERO BORG isn't about building the perfect superhero.

Roll the dice. Find out who you are, what bizarre Powers you ended up with, and then figure out how the hell you're going to use them.

The city is a sandbox. Take a Mission, ignore it, investigate something strange, get involved in a street fight, hunt a Syndicate, help somebody—or just try to survive another day.

There is no required story. Play to find out what happens.

BETA

HERO BORG is currently in Beta. The complete game is playable, but I'm releasing it now to get it into the hands of actual players. Feedback from play will help shape future revisions.
