Wild Talents Essential Edition

Wild Talents Essential Edition includes the complete roleplaying game rules for Wild Talents Second Edition: the One Roll Engine, built for fast, thrilling, suspenseful play, and rules for superpowers that have the simplicity, flexibility and detail to handle any setting and style of game. 

Wild Talents is a tabletop, dice-and-paper roleplaying game that emphasizes the motivations of superhuman characters. The loyalties and passions that drive them fuel their inner drive and willpower, which in turn fuels their superpowers. Motivations that really impact the characters provide instant hooks for RPG scenarios and conflicts. 

The rules for creating superpowers have all the depth you could ever want for quirky, strange abilities customized to your own character, but also allow fast creation of simple powers if you want to dive in and start playing.

No superpowered roleplaying game is complete without super-fights. Wild Talents’ combat rules focus on the dangers posed by superpowers -- if somebody who’s strong enough to throw a truck comes at you, you better get out of the way! With the unusual One Roll Engine (also found in the games Godlike, Reign, Monsters and Other Childish Things, and A Dirty World), action scenes resolve quickly, with all details from a full round’s actions resolved in a single roll of the dice. That makes fight scenes fast, hard-hitting, deadly and loaded with suspense.

Wild Talents was created by the award-winning authors of such acclaimed roleplaying games as Godlike, Delta Green, Unknown Armies, and Trail of Cthulhu. It’s a superhero game where characters are heroes not because of the costumes they wear or the things they’re able to do, but because of the risks they choose to take for the things that matter most.
