Welcome to Dynamo!
Dynamo is a fast-playing RPG about super heroes and villains. But this is no rose-colored take on comic history. Dynamo harkens back to the Golden Age of super heroes - when a hero's only qualification for stopping evil was having super powers, and they were more likely to punch their way to victory than rely on the law. It was a time when villains did villainy just because they were villains, and their schemes held to theme even when completely lacking in logic.
Dynamo is a game about those heroes and villains. Players create a team of heroes using a very simple point-buy character creation system. The GM creates a villain and some minions. Then the heroes bust heads until they figure out what's going on and put a stop to it.
It's the light, pick-up-and-play super RPG you didn't know you needed.
