About the adventure
HEROES: WANTED is a game about super heroes in our modern world, and how the balance of global power shifts when individuals wield the might of nations. This is not the standard 616 Marvel world, but many of the superheroes you know and love exist here and have similar backgrounds to the stories you know. Namor first emerged from the sea to announce Atlantis in 1939. The Phantom Reporter thrilled readers and radio listeners alike while investigating American criminals and Nazi infiltrators in the 1940s. Captain America was created from an experimental super soldier serum and led the charge against the Axis in WWII. Except he was never frozen. In this timeline, Cap and his sidekick Bucky Barnes both made it to the massive Nazi Valkyrie bomber, but his plucky sidekick booted Steve out of the plane before they crashed, sacrificing himself to save America and their star-spangled hero. In the decades that followed, scientists worked tirelessly to duplicate the super soldier formula while the original serum kept Steve young long beyond his years. As Captain America led the United States to decisive victory in both Korean and Vietnam, weekly donations of Steve's blood helped them refine a much less potent serum that boosted the strength, endurance, and reaction times of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (Super Human International Enforcement and Logistics Division) under his command. Overwhelming American dominance on the international stage made the rest of the world—enemies and allies alike—desperate to develop their own metahumans. The results of these programs became as much emblems of host nations as their own flags, rallying points of a hyper nationalism that washed over the entire world. Following in Captain America's footsteps, these powerful beings led every local conflict across the globe, while the lives and property of regular citizens became more and more expendable.

Meet the Game Master
About me
Welcome to the table! I’ve spent 30 years rolling dice as a player and 15 years weaving worlds as a Game Master. I specialize in running intricate, responsive campaigns where your backstory is just as important as the main plot. When I'm not running games, I work in TTRPG audio production as the producer of the award-winning Kill Every Monster (killeverymonster.com) and Dead Ghost Productions (deadghostpro.com), as well as the editor for Unprepared Casters (unpreparedcasters.com). Bringing high-quality, engaging audio narrative to life is what I do best, and I bring that same production value and narrative flow to my paid games. Pick Your Universe: I love jumping between genres and mechanics. You can find me running campaigns in: Horror & Sci-Fi: Call of Cthulhu, Mothership, Vampire: The Masquerade Fantasy & Adventure: Dungeons & Dragons, Mythic Bastionland, Stonetop Heroes & Meta-Narratives: Marvel Multiverse, MASKS, Star Trek Adventures, DIE RPG
