You know a genre of games that doesn't get the respect it deserves? Supers games! Superheroes (and villains) are massively popular in media right now, and just don't get the love they probably should in the rpg scene!
We figured we should talk about them a little bit. Problem is, neither Steve knows a whole lot about Supers games. So, for this week, we've enlisted the help of Shane Stacks (Shane Plays podcast) to come and give us an admittedly not-totally-comprehensive (but far better than we would have done on our own) lesson on the history of supers games through the years. So come along with us, as we learn some of the history of a beautiful genre of games!
