Against the Axis is a WW2 era superhero RPG supplement written by gaming luminary Steve Perrin for ICONS. It's set in the Stark City campaign setting - but Stark City is not required.
Praise for Against the Axis:
Dr. Comics and nbsp;(aka Professor Jason Tondro) has this to say about Against the Axis: and quot;From subterranean Vril to the Man with Green Gloves, from Panzer mecha to Nazi supermen fueled by Asgardian beer, this book has everything you never knew you always needed to run a Golden Age campaign. and quot; and nbsp;
Chuck Rice of Mayfar Games and nbsp;says: and quot;Steve Perrin delivers a wonderful trip into the Golden Age of Comics. Along the way, he provides some WWII history, some comics history, and a lot of great villains for your heroes to fight and heroes for them to interact with or play. If you want to take a trip to WWII for the ICONS system, you should buy Against the Axis! and quot; and nbsp;
Steve Kenson, ICONS creator and nbsp;says : and ldquo;Industry veteran Steve Perrin delivers both classic Golden Age comic book style and a wealth of useful information for Game Masters interested in World War II-era adventures or an entire series. A must-have expansion for the Stark City setting! and quot; and nbsp;
Sean Patrick Fannon (Shaintar, Savage Rifts) and nbsp;says: and nbsp; and quot;One thing my friend, Steve Perrin, knows better than almost anyone else in gaming is World War II era of the Golden Age, especially as it applies to superhero gaming. He is deservedly a legend in gaming circles that quite literally go back to the beginning of gaming, both as a GM and as a writer/designer. This book is an incredible treat - not just for Stark City fans, but for anyone wishing to run rollicking, two-fisted heroic adventures across the world of the Golden Age. One-part total expertise with the subject, one-part masterful prose for the tone, and one-part genuine love of the era you won't find in another source = the perfect book for this genre. and quot;
Fainting Goat Games has struck a deal with long-time fan-favorite publishing house Heroic Comics that allows us to use several of their Golden Age characters in this setting. In addition, Heroic will be publishing a special Golden Age comic written by Steve Perrin that ties in with Against the Axis.
