Heroes Assemble: System Core Rulebook [eBook]

Unleash supers in 5e. Build legendary heroes, master explosive powers, and battle unforgettable villains in a comic-book world powered by the 5e engine. If you already know 5e, you’re ready to play—no brand-new system to learn, just new ways to go BIG.
 
Kickstarter-Funded. “Heroes Assemble” successfully funded on Kickstarter with 1,142 backers pledging €61,155 (campaign ran Apr 15 – May 15, 2025).
 
What You’ll Love
5e at superhero scale: Run street-level capers to cosmic showdowns using familiar 5e bones tuned for caped action.

Fast, cinematic play: Rules focus on dynamic movement, set-piece battles, and stunts worthy of splash pages.

Plug-and-play with your table: Uses 5e terminology and flow so your group can jump in immediately.
