What is HEROIC?
HEROIC is a tabletop role-playing game (RPG) inspired by the classic MSH RPG by TSR. It allows players to create their own superheroes and embark on epic adventures in a world of their making. HEROIC aims to capture the spirit of comic book storytelling with fast-paced, dynamic gameplay.

How does HEROIC differ from the original MSH RPG?
While HEROIC draws inspiration from the original MSH game, it features updated mechanics, a more flexible character creation system, and modernized graphics and art design. Our goal is to pay homage to the classic while ensuring the game mechanics and aesthetics resonate with both new and veteran players.

Can I play characters from the MCU in HEROIC?
HEROIC is not licensed to use characters from the MCU or any other copyrighted universe. However, the game is designed to allow players to create their own heroes and villains, drawing inspiration from their favorite comic book characters. It will also feature the all original ZENITH COMICS UNIVERSE.

What is the ZENITH COMICS UNIVERSE?
The ZCU has been developed through game play since the halcyon days of 1985 and has even been published in 2 indie comics, also titled HEROIC. It is a complete universe set in a fictional Bronze Age, and despite having hundreds of characters to draw on, leaves plenty of room for YOU to set your own HEROIC adventures!

When will HEROIC be released?
We aim to release HEROIC just in time for Christmas 2024 (so maybe grab an extra book as a gift for that superhero fanatic on your list?). This timeline will allow us to finalize the artwork, refine the game mechanics based on backer feedback, and ensure the quality of the physical components.

What are the risks?
Well other than the usual stuff with the ball of confusion the world is today (hey hey), we have the base game written, we are just raising funds for a final draft, layout, and art, so this is a pretty good bet!

What does CDN mean?
It’s a short hand for Canadian Dollars, which is the currency in which we are doing this project! Sorry for any confusion, eh?

Why POD?
The reason we chose Print-on-Demand through Drivetrurpg is two-fold. First it significantly raises the price to print, ship, and then pack and reship out books to everyone around the world. Beyond that, DTRPG has printed in the US, Canada, and Europe who can ship from within their own country (usually) which is a massive savings for everyone!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
