Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition

Selected Option:

The World Needs Heroes!

[IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THOSE WHO PURCHASED THE PDF AND WISH TO PURCHASE A PRINT OPTION - SEE BELOW!]

"Super Simple. Super Fast. Super Fun. Super RPG."

Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition includes everything you need to create unique superheroes and play exciting stories right out of comic books and movies. Within these pages you’ll find countless powers and power options, extensive rules for gear, vehicles, and even headquarters, a massive assortment of animals and non-player characters, and extensive guidance to help gamemasters run the most engaging superhero games possible. Last but not least, this book includes 38 ready-to-play characters, heroes and villains.

Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition was designed to be highly flexible, allowing you to play anything from street-level vigilantes to high-flying paragons with godlike abilities; from gritty hard-boiled detective stories to four-color cartoon adventures. This edition expands the original to allow for many more options while also streamlining the rules and making the game even faster and easier to run. Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition is the only roleplaying game you need to run any kind of superhero adventure you can imagine.

In 2013, when the world needed heroes, you answered the call. You and your allies were all that stood between light and darkness, good and evil, right and wrong. You fought valiantly and sacrificed dearly. And you saved the day. But ignorance, greed, and tyranny never sleep. Once again, the world is in peril, Hero. Once again, the world needs you to…

TAKE A STAND! JOINT THE FIGHT! BE A HERO!

Evolved from 2013's beloved Prowlers & Paragons game (found on several Top Ten lists of supers games), Prowlers & Paragons Ultimate Edition is Len Pimentel's (Hughesville High, TNT, Six-Gun Fury) masterwork, with extensive design support from Sean Patrick Fannon (Freedom Squadron, Savage Rifts, High Tech Enemies, The Mutant File). The two of them love superhero gaming, and you will love what they've done with this system.

THE BASICS: Roll a handful of six-siders, count the evens (6s count double!), and describe a comic panel or cinematic moment that puts your friends in the scene.

P&PUE features: 

  • Easy, intuitive game mechanics with just enough crunch to be truly fun to play!

  • Player-empowering narrative and shared descriptive experiences reflecting the best of 21st Century game design!

  • Fast and fun, character creation allows any concept you can imagine, any power set you might wish to play with.

"P&P is a smashing amount of superheroic fun that I've enjoyed playing. And did I mention fistfuls of dice? If you like a game that's fast-moving and gives you the feel of your favorite comic-book heroes, P&P delivers. " - Steve Peterson, co-designer of Champions

“I really had a fine time with the playtest. It offers a really interesting balance between flexibility and customization for character creation. And it is rich in detail without feeling like a miniatures game for combat. The highest compliment I can pay is that if we were designing Champions today, there are several ideas I’d have liked to steal wholesale.” - Ray Greer, writer & designer for Hero Games, Steve Jackson Games, and many others

How is this different from the Lakeside Games P&P I bought in 2013?

So are we ever getting a Premium quality print option or not?

I'd really like to know this, as well. The premium quality print has been MIA for over a year now. I purchased the PDF, but this is one of the games I'd really like a hard copy of.

And... now it's gone. Strange. I had it in my cart, the hardcover premium edition -- and now it's gone!

Okay, three things.

1. I've had PPUE for ages, but have only just now gotten around to reading it carefully. Might be my new favorite supers system -- at least in terms of classic point-buy games. Well done, Len and Sean.

2. Is there an active community of fans somewhere? Discord?

3. Is there errata out? Is it possible the Shinking power was goofed a bit, as it seems *awfully* expensive...

Also want to declare interest in a Premium Colour version of the hardback. It seems it used to be offered in the past, and supplements (such as: Blood & Justice: Welcome to Nocturne) continue to offer it.

It's the only thing stopping me from purchasing at the moment.

I think it says something that many of us are asking for premium yet the publisher declines to respond.

Just learning how to use the system. Been a Hero/Champions player for over 30 years so this is new and scary territory for me.
Also just want to say, so far I think the system is great. I am trying to master it before I run it for my group and, if things go well, my champions campaign will become a P&PUE game.
My question is, does gear cost points if added as "gear" and not as a "power?"

Thanks! Hope you enjoy! And no it does not, not if it' mundane gear anyone could buy.

Question: The Buff power has PRO Greater (6), I assume that's meant to be +6, right?

Yes, it costs +6 Hero Points to have the Greater version of Buff.

I was at ChupacabraCon in Austin this past weekend and participated in the demo game for P&PUE. I loved it so much, I picked up a copy of it, Pinnacle City's Most Wanted, and Blood & Justice. I'd love to get the PDF versions as well for the searchability. I see there's a discount on POD for owners of the PDF, but do you offer any kind of a discount on PDF for owners of the print copy?

Thanks!

I bought this as a pdf when when there was no POD. No there is a POD, is there any way to a discount on it?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
