The Comics Code

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

THE COMICS CODE is the latest Superhero Role-playing game.

Specifically  designed to focus upon the Heroes, their Adventures and  the Moral Dilemmas they face – rather than spending hours playing out hyper-detailed slugfests. Play it anywhere with just two six-sided dice, pencil and paper. A game can last a couple of hours, a campaign can span a lifetime.

             Five minute character creation!

             Ten minute combat!

             Hours of high-octane Superhero Adventure!

             Easy to pick up and play.

             Hard to put down.

             THE lightweight, fast-play Superhero Role-playing game.

I'm wait for your review, Maxwell. Generally the character sheet is a mirror of its game. Here isn't possible to see anything :(

I bought the PDF, and really liked what I read. Not ready to post a full review, but I thought this was a really fresh take on the superhero RPG genre. I feel like the best ideas were all in the Appendices, but that's just my first impression. I am left wanting to try this out, and to check out Squadron UK, too.

Oh, I should mention that I ordered the softcover along with the PDF. Hoping it holds together better than the last couple of print books I've ordered from this site :)

Well I took a leap of faith because I too still have my Golden Heroes Box and my Squadron UK.
The Comics Code Softcover arrived yesterday (bought before the +PDF option or PDF version was online) and I am very satisfied. So I guess I'll buy whatever comes next as well.

I'm taking a leap of faith. I've had many years of great gaming from Golden Heroes, I own Squadron UK 2nd edition, I'm intrigued by this new game. If it's half as good as the others I'll be very happy.

How can I buy a game without look at any preview or having any informations about the character sheet and the core mechanics? It's not possible to buy blindly anything and without the pdf version too.

I agree its a pain not having the PDF version (thats what I would have preferred) however for what its worth I played this at Concrete Cow earlier this year with Simon and it was a hoot, very pick-up-and-play. British super hero humour, but a lot less crunchy than Squadron UK. I'd advise going for it for the cheap price its at.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
