LARGER
THAN LIFE
A superheroic role-playing game by Phillip Foster.

This game was influenced by a variety of sources:
- Jeffrey L. Kromer, creator of ORX,
a great little indie game, for the idea of non-fixed difficulties, use of
polyhedral dice, and types of actions (Styles). This game is no longer
a free HTML; apparently Mr. Kromer intends to re-release it as a pay
product. I think it will sell very well indeed.
- hermes, the creator of Capes
& Cowls, for inspiration. This is a class-A superhero RPG, and
you should definitely check it out (it also happens to be free).
- Also check out Mikko Kauppinen's Powergame,
another fine freebie supers RPG.
- The Forge is
a great place for inspiration, and discussion of many aspects of indie RPGs.
- My brother Dave for feedback and suggestions.
