100 Dead Heroes Press Kit

Overview

Genre: Modern Superpowered Tabletop Roleplaying Game
System: Original
Player Count: 2-6 Players
Average Playtime: 2-4 Hours per Session

100 Dead Heroes is a rules-light, narrative-first tabletop RPG about ordinary people taking on a world dominated by corrupt superheroes. Players step into the role of individuals pushed to the edge, hunting down powerful figures who are publicly celebrated but privately dangerous. The game focuses on fast decisions, high tension, and the consequences that follow every action, using simple d6-based mechanics that keep the story moving instead of slowing it down.

At the center of the game is a list of 100 unique heroes, each with their own abilities, weaknesses, and past crimes, alongside a Heat system that ensures the world is always reacting. Combat is quick and lethal, equipment can shift the balance but always carries risk, and no victory comes without fallout. This is a game about pressure, escalation, and survival—where every choice matters, and the world never forgets what you’ve done.
