Sentinels of Echo City is my love letter to 1984. It is the game that answers the question, “what if the designers of FASERIP used the B/X system instead?”. It is the game that I wish I could get into a time machine and take to myself when I was 13 years old. It’s an old-school superhero game jam packed with love for the genre. It’s fast. It’s loose. And it does it all.
In the long-standing tradition among comics artists, the artwork pays tribute to the great comic artists whose work inspired mine, starting from the cover, and continuing throughout. The game also serves as an homage to the exceptional work of game designers who put their hearts into the fantastic RPGs that filled my childhood.
And maybe yours, too.
