Rated PG for violence and gratuitous Wearing the Cape: Barlow's Guide to Superhumans Wearing the Cape: Barlow's Guide to Superhumans is the first sourcebook for WtC: The Roleplaying Game. But I am looking forward to that Superpowered Fate!

Yann E December 12, pm UTC. Hello, I never read the book and I don't even know if they have been translated in french I alm French. Can the game be played without the novel's knowledge? Marion H December 13, pm UTC. Wearing the Cape: The Roleplaying Game provides more than enough background if you want to use the setting of the books, and the first sourcebook Wearing the Cape: Barlow's Guide to Superhumans gives more background specific to Europe, Asia, and Africa as well as a few more rules options. Also, as versatile as the system is, if you want a different setting you can throw out the Wearing the Cape world background and create your own superhero world with no change to the power-types and other superhero-specific stuff.

There's a whole section dealing with creating your own setting or divergent campaign, and I've seen players adapt Marvel and DC heroes to the system with ease. Yann E December 15, pm UTC. Thanks for your answer. I have Fate core at home in English and French but I have difficulties reading it, It's not because the system is difficult, it's more because the book is dense and compact and not well written I think. My few friends who like superhero seems to prefer Supers! Do you think adaptations would be easy? Marion H December 16, am UTC. Adaptation from Supers! Not sure about the reverse. I understand your issue with the Fate Core rulebook; I've heard from several players who thought WtC:RPG did a better job explaining the Fate system than the Fate Core book did.

August 03, am UTC. I've read all the books so far, so, fair to say I'm a fan of Mr. What I want to say here the first chapter of this book should be considered Must Read for ALL superhero gamers players and GMs alike. It's the best expression of the context of supers and modern society. Some of it is specific to the Breakthrough mechanism people gain powers during a highly stressful event and some due to the transitional, recent nature of the Event which started it all. How does a super arise? How long have supers been active? These questions certainly have significant impacts on the current state of the game world, and if you've got different answers to them, your world may be different. BUT, Mr. Harmon gives back story here, which creates a compelling case for why the setting is the way it is. The notion of the breakthrough spawns the origin-related questions for building a stronger, more completely visualized character.

That part translates to other origins. The role of supers See more and society is a major factor. Some of it is specific to the sharp transition from No Supers to OMG What's Happening!! It includes a couple of pages of a scholarly hero talking about the impact of supers at a Senate hearing it's so on point, in the context that, yeah, these supers can be REALLY powerful. So even if you're not fond of Fate, which is to be sure a soft, dramatic-presentation system rather than a crunchy one the background's outstanding. Anthony M July 29, pm UTC. It was my first RPG. I loved how I could make any character come to life in Champs. I still gravitate toward systems that support that level of player creativity. Venture City is really good for experienced Fate players to dive right into the attached street-to-corporate superheroes setting, Superpunk.

Powers are built on a Extra template. And characters are limited to two powers each. Which I found a little confusing until I realized that the player defines the powers. So Captain America has the powers Super Soldier and Adamantium Shield rather than, Super Fighting, Super Athletics, Super Strategy, etc. Just like Wearing the Cape, the power level can be scaled up by increasing the But I find that two power limit kind hangs over the creation process. And it lacks implicate support for flexible power pools, like magic or hypertech. Icons is a proto-Fate game, written before Fate Core was published. So the dice, rules, and nomenclature are a little different. What Fate Core calls Stress, Icons calls Stamina. You can also add limits to powers like in Champions. Icons has the Bronze Age of comics feel whereas Wearing the Cape feels contemporary, both in the way powers are built, but in the setting material. In the setting material, all supers, called Breakthoughs, have a common origin.

Since the divergence event a worldwide blackout called Besides breakouts, you can play a robot from the future, or a hyper-intelligent, vampire dog from a parallel universe, no problem. The setting material is very broad and accommodates a wide range of character origins. But in the core setting, the Event happened in recent history. Character creation in Wearing the Cape includes power templates called Types which cover the major archetypes of super heroes. Wanna be a Hulk? Ajax Type. Wanna be a Superman? The Metamorph Type in particular crosses over with the other Types quite well. The rules build on Fate Core, but only a little. Skills have been split into Attributes, Skills, and Resources Reputation, Wealth, Contacts. High attributes grant bonuses to skills when appropriate, so a high strength grants a weapon rating to the Fight skill and an Armor Rating for defense.

With characters with a high upper ceiling for their capabilities it makes sense. It has a few more Types, and a lot more of the setting, and a very satisfying number of Breakouts. You can see the influences, but very few of these characters feel like direct analogs of properties published elsewhere. Compared to other NPC books for supers games this book is light on the villains. Many of the NPCs are private contractors using their powers to do a job. It makes the supers feel like the live in their world instead of on top of it, a feeling often lacking in the comics. Need More NPCs? As a Fate Core game, Wearing the Cape allows the GM to bring in a wider rage of NPCs from other setting books without complication. And the art is fantastic. Anthony M July 30, am UTC. Marion H July 31, am UTC. No it's not, but I see you've found the spot now. I appreciate the excellent review.

Carl M January 25, pm UTC. Very nice book but even on Indierevolution, the shipping costs to the UK doubles the cost of the book. You MIGHT want to consider putting a POD on Drivethru, even if it is just for the benefit of non-US purchasers. Marion H January 26, am UTC. Thank you for the suggestion, and you're right--it's something that really needs to be done. Glad you enjoy the gamebook. David W March 02, pm UTC. Mr Harmon, I was wondering if there was any plan to offer a physical copy, be it hard bound or soft bound? Marion H March 02, pm UTC. There is a very nice hardbound edition available at wearingthecape. Rafael G February 20, am UTC. Marion H February 22, am UTC. Not unless the game gets picked up by a larger game-publisher later; even with Kickstarter funding, miniatures-production and marketing is time-intensive work.

It would sure be nice, though. Jeffrey K May 15, am UTC. Marion H May 21, pm UTC. There are currently no plans in the works. However, future editions for different systems Savage Worlds, Cortex Prime, etc. are being contemplated. Jeffrey K May 22, am UTC. Ron R April 22, pm UTC. And it is time to ask the perennial question: "Will this be available in POD at any point? David Y April 22, pm UTC. I'm not Marion, but on the google Plus list he is working on getting a print run into stores after the kickstarter backers get theirs, as well as looking at PoD down the road Marion H April 23, am UTC. At this point I'm exploring all options, and PoD is certainly one of them. But if it does happen, it won't be for awhile; currently the PDF and the hardback edition are the two options.

John B May 31, pm UTC. Kevin M June 10, pm UTC. Id be interested in the hardback option; yes please share the link, thanks. Alan B June 11, am UTC. I'd also be interested in where I can get a physical copy as the Wearing the Cape website doesn't have one. Marion H July 10, am UTC. The printed edition should become available this week, at wearingthecape. com and indiepressrevolution. Keep your eye on the Kickstarter update or Wearing The Cape's Facebook page for the news. Luc L December 21, pm UTC. Marion H January 01, pm UTC. Andrew S. This book is not a good rules set to build your own superhero world for using the FATE system. That is what I was hoping for when I bought it and it was a bit of a disappointment on that front. The rules are pretty heavily interconnected with the set [ Anthony M.

I loved how [ Brendan C. A fantastic book series and a great supers setting for tabletop play! The RPG really utilizes the FATE setting to the fullest, and the forthcoming Barlow's Guide has a ton more NPCs and worldbuilding background. Michael H. I've played numerous instances of Fate campaigns, coming across some interesting Fate Worlds. My group was becoming powerful enough that a Supers campaign just made sense. I saw this a few months ago, noted the price and thought it would come down lik [ Christian F. I haven't played FATE before, but after a couple videos I think it is pretty easy. When I had trouble downloading the game, the creator responded quickly to get me my copy I kickstarted. He always responded quickly and checked in until I was satisfied.

I have never read the novels that shaped the world this book is based in, I have to say that it is terrible one. Many people have sited the realism of the setting, but that realism consistently falls short when discussing anything not white or American.

This setting is clearly written by someone with very racist views against the Arabs, East Asians, really anyone not white especially if they don't live in the US. The rules are solid, but if you plan to use the setting, I would recommend heavy editing, or more reasonably, just make up your own setting. Honestly a little upset I gave these creators money. Marion H January 19, pm UTC. Hello, Stan. While I am heartened to hear that you consider WtC:RPG a solid set of rules, I am sorry to hear that your takeway of the background section of the gamebook is "This setting is clearly written by someone with very racist views against the Arabs, East Asians, really anyone not white especially if they don't live in the US.

Of course I feel you are completely wrong in your reading of the setting background, and I could refer you to both the books and the wider world background provided in Wearing the Cape: Barlow's Guide to Superhumans. However, I doubt this would be a fruitful use of your time. Since you have expressed distress at having given a racist your money, you can email me at wearingthecape gmail. Rafael G June 16, am UTC. Mr Harmon, big fan, and I have to say that I have to give you a big thanks for your help with this amazing project that you have put in front of my life.

I'm a retired wounded soldier and I never heard of you before until I picked up one of your books at the local store. I have to say that it was a life saver for me, , I have been in a very bad place for a long time but when I started to read that first book I was hooked on a new outlook on life that I didn't have. But enough of that, I didn't want to make a spectacle of this, I just wanted to say that I really thank you and my family loves you for it. I was wondering, is there a possibility that you would release your book collection in hardback? Also, are you planning on releasing the game in different formats, ie. Please let me know. Marion H June 20, pm UTC. Thank you, Rafael. Possibly a project to consider after Book 9 is out I'd love to see them.

As for other game formats, I'd love to see WtC in ALL of them. But that will require someone else to do it; WtC:RPG took up a substantial block of one year, and my big priority is continuing the books. Rafael G June 25, am UTC. Mr Marion, yeah I know that it sounds weird to say it, but the only way I could explain it is that I saw very bad things in war and I was injured in Afghanistan. After all that I just about gave up and I didn't because your books remind me of something I had forgotten. I just wanted you to know that you are doing a wonderful job and I hope you keep doing it. Christopher K June 15, pm UTC. I have spent some time running this for a group of new fans who are just starting the novels. One player is a more experienced hand at Fate than the others, but two big questions came up - will there be an update to Fate Condensed or will a Fate Accelerated version come out? The main issue, though, was that there's an inescapable aspect where some Types are flat-out more expensive than others.

Any thoughts? It should be out in a month or so. The problem of some Power-Types being more expensive than others is, sorry to say, an unavoidable one. Put most basically, Power-Types that require more bonuses or special rules to play cost more Stunts. An Atlas-Type will cost more in Stunts than a Phantom-Type. Superpowered Fate addresses it a little by leaning more heavily on the Power Aspect and defining Power-Types more generally, but some superpowers will always cost more in terms of Skills and Stunts than others. Christopher K June 22, pm UTC. Thank you so much for answering! I understand the whole some things will always cost more than others. But I am looking forward to that Superpowered Fate!
