this game rules! i have only a passing knowledge of power rangers and that is totally fine for this game. easy to pick up and play, very fun, and knows the genre so well that it gives you the chance to make a really fun and creative story together. i played this in the context of a larger anthology campaign that takes place in a superheroic city recently, and we made a kickass show. thank you also for including the "evil" trait, as 2/3 of us ended up with that, and it was a blast.
If Not Us, Then Who? is a game about transforming teenage hero shows. Think Power Rangers, Sailor Moon, or Animorphs. It is unique in that it is more about the narrative structure of this kind of show than individual actions.
The episode-structure prompts that Riley has written are spectacular, and really evocative. Get ready to play though holiday episodes, bottle episodes, crossover eps, and more!
This game is just begging to be hacked to play through some other types of procedural show! Also the villain of your story can be “Yule Lads,” so you know this is a great game.

This sounds great, just wondering if you plan on doing community copies for this?

That sounds really cool !
Do you have a preview of what kind of card your game uses ?
Or may be an example of how the game works ?
Thank you
Yeah! I just added a picture of two of the cards, and the rules breakdown of The Episodes and Beats, along with what the "character sheet" looks like!
