Last week we asked if you wanted to see new art - and here it is!

This piece, illustrated by @dakotacurry.com, will be featured on the Paragons Starter Kit box set, which will be crowdfunding in early 2026.

What do you think the threat depicted here is? Will the heroes be able to save the day?

Other heroes can be seen in the distance, all approaching the threat. Text over the image reads "Paragons: The Roleplaying Game Starter Kit"

We need stories of heroism, bravery, and justice now more than ever.

Three vignettes depicting superheroes. The first vignette is of a hero and a villain locked in combat. The hero wears blue and gold, and is flipping through the air wielding blue orbs of electricity, while the villain wears a suit and is blasting flames into the air. The second vignette depicts two heroes fighting side by side against unseen enemies. The first hero wears yellow and black and holds a yellow sword, while the second hero wears purple spandex and is delivering a swift kick to an enemy out of frame. The third vignette is of a hero dressed in black tactical gear, looking out over the city skyline with a hand to her earpiece communicator.

What type of hero would you make for a new TTRPG campaign?

Let's talk about Training in Paragons: The Roleplaying Game!

By making a Stamina move roll (equivalent to an ability check) you push your body to improve one of your abilities. Over time, you can increase an ability's range, damage, number of uses, and even invent new special moves!

The other hero, on the left, wears a yellow suit and is holding a blade at the ready. A screenshot of a PDF with text that reads "Training. One very beneficial way to spend downtime is by training. Taking time to practice and enhance your paragon's abilities or talents is a great way to make them uniquely your own. Training pushes your body past its normal limits, and requires a Stamina move roll. The GM determines how many successes a paragon needs to accumulate before their training is complete, and can use the following as a guide. Easy. Three Successes required. Increase the number of uses (e.g. 4 uses per episode instead of 3). Medium. Six successes required. Increase range by one category (e.g. Close to Near). Hard. Nine successes required. Increase the number of ability dice by 1. Difficult. Twelve successes required. Increase the number of people you can target with an ability (e.g. attacking two enemies at once with Energy Control). Develop a new way to use the ability (e.g. using Energy Mastery over fire to propel yourself through the air to simulate flight.) You can also use a training scene with a mentor as part of the leveling up process for characters to showcase new abilities or improved stats that come from their level up. No roll is required for this kind of training scene."

Let's talk about our approach to adventure content (we call them episodes) for Paragons: The Roleplaying Game!

Rather than release a ton of setting information in the core book, we've chosen to build the world through a series of episodes that can be used together or separately.

Why? A short 🧵

If you've got weekend TTRPG plans, maybe now is a good opportunity to pick up a new, original superhero game.

Use simple, but powerful d6 dice pool mechanics to soar into action and save the day!

There's something really fitting about using TV as an analogy for a TTRPG campaign (even moreso with AP).

It's almost like that's something we specifically address in Paragons: The Roleplaying Game...
A single page screenshot with the chapter 2 title spread from Paragons: The Roleplaying Game. The chapter title is "Basics of the Game" The text reads, "Paragons is a tabletop roleplaying game (see "What is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game?" below) where a group of 1-6 players each create and play a s a super-powered character, referred to as a paragon, under the guidance of a Game Master (GM) as they collaborate to overcome obstacles, fight villains, and tell a story together. The GM serves as a narrator and guide throughout this experience by creating the challenges the characters will face and then helping the players navigate them. What is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game? Simply put, a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) is a game that encourages cooperation and creativity as players and the GM work together to tell a story. The rules of the game provide a framework for you to adjudicate what happens and to keep the story moving. While many TTRPGs are intended to be playing with a group of friends around the table, Paragons can also be played with just two players: one with a character and one as the GM (For more information, see the "Running the Game" chapter). Episodes One session (the period of time your group plays the game) of Paragons is referred to as an episode, because the analogy of a TV series is great for... The screenshot cuts off here as there is no more room for text on the page.
