About the adventure
In an alternate history, join Fasthold — the new premier superhero team — and HOLD THE LINE! Stand alongside legends like the enigmatic Omega Man, the TVC-15 coated powerhouse Battalion, space faring Kit Nebula, and others. Now it's your turn to suit up. THE WORLD OF FASTHOLD During WW2, scientists recorded what they called The Shift. Thousands worldwide, from infants to adults, manifested powers: flight, telepathy, water-breathing, super-speed, and more wondrous feats. Heroes emerged from smoke and rubble, landing crashing planes and averting disasters. But balance asserted itself — villains rose to use power for personal gain and destruction. Allegiances were formed to repel an invasion from beyond the stars, welcome beings of good will, and stop the growing chaos. Governments reacted differently. Some harnessed, some subjugated, some banished. The United States became a haven and foster home to outcasts. Borders opened, technology bloomed, and a Golden Age of heroes began. Yet like all Edens, evil found a way in. The assassination of Kennedy, the attacks on King and Carter, Kent State, Waco, the L.A. Riots, Challenger, Columbine, September 11th. The weight of power and responsibility drove many heroes to insanity, solitude, or quiet retirement. Only a dozen remain in the public eye — the patriots, the Golden and Silver Age icons who still honor the United Nations Powers Sanction, known as The Code. It's 2026. More than 80 years have passed. Sensors are spiking. Things are about to Shift again. YOUR CALL TO ACTION You are the newest generation, just discovering your powers. Guided by The Warden, Fasthold's AI caretaker, the old guard has called you to form the new Fasthold. What powers will you bring to the fight for justice? Your bravery and cunning will be tested as you navigate treacherous landscapes and uncover secrets that could break — or save — the world. This is a beginner-friendly superhero adventure. No experience needed! We will create your own original hero together and learn the rules as we play. Story-first, collaborative, and heroic. ADVENTURE HIGHLIGHTS • United You Stand: Team-up missions with fellow heroes to tackle challenges, defeat villains, and save the day. • Power Surge: Uncover hidden abilities and learn to harness your unique powers. • The Lost Relics: Crack codes and unravel mysteries behind ancient artifacts and supervillain plots. • Fasthold HQ - Lair Creation: Design your team's secret lair with gadgets, gizmos, and high-tech tools. • Villain Showdown: Face formidable foes in epic battles of good vs. evil and cement your legacy as heroes.
