Description of BASH! Ultimate Edition This
book has everything you need to create characters and run super-heroic
adventures within minutes. The rules are light and easy all you need
are two ordinary dice, a piece of paper, and this book. Character
generation is so simple, you could fit all the info you need on a 3x5
card, but we included a sheet anyway.
Do
not
assume
that
by simple, we mean incomplete, either. Bash has over 50
versatile super powers, numerous skills, and even rules for collateral
damage. The action is fast and furious, paced over a series of panels,
pages, and issues, just like a comic book.
BASH!
has
undergone
some
changes over the years, with updates in Megapolis
and BAM! and we have incorporated many of these into a single rules
set. In addition to an expanded, revised version of the game, you will
also find:
Less
record-keeping, more Awesome. Energy is no
longer the "default" rule for handling powers-- so you have less to
keep track of during play. Hero dice, Hero points, and team-work
maneuvers are now a part of the core system, so you can really bring it
to the bad-guys!
Easier to read layout, better explained rules, including many examples.
Character Archetypes:
Writeups
of
various iconic super hero &
villain archetypes such as the Brick, Martial Artist, and Blaster.
These templates can be easily tweaked to quickly have a custom
character!
Hordes of Minions! Fleets of Vehicles! Random Encounters!
Eras & Subgenres:
One
of
the things BASH! Fantasy & Sci-Fi
editions did was extensive work on the subgenres of Fantasy and Sci-Fi,
such as Steam-Punk or Space Pulp. BASH! Ultimate Edition will do the
same thing for Superheroes, enabling you to run a game with the theme
& tone of the Gold, Silver, Bronze, or Iron Ages. There are also
sections on Science Fiction, Fantasy, as well as Cosmic Superheroes.
Alternative Mechanics:
Not
everyone
likes to multiply. Not to worry,
alternate mechanics are included in the appendix.

A
City
of
