SuperSystem: SuperSystem 4th Edition: Super Miniature Battles Kickstarter


SuperSystem has an ongoing kickstarter to launch their 4th edition rules: SuperSystem 4th ed. updates the world's most versatile super miniature battle game! We wrote SuperSystem in 2001 so we could play out super slugfests on the tabletop with any miniatures we had handy. With the help of Old Glory, the SuperFigs line of 28mm miniatures quickly grew up around the game. 

While we continued to release lots of great miniatures, we never stopped improving, modifying, and building upon the core rules that made SuperSystem great. In the last 13 years we've released many other miniature games based on the Goalsystem engine that powers SuperSystem. Now we've come full circle by taking our boldest design step forward and returning to SuperSystem to do a 4th edition of the world's most versatile super miniature battle game!

This edition will include expanded attributes, new and revised powers, and improved mechanics that speed play and allow for increased ease of character design. While we remain incredibly excited about all of these improvements and innovations toSuperSystem, we're even more ecstatic about the prospect of a proper print run. That's where you come in! We know we have some of the greatest, most loyal fans in all of the tabletop miniature hobby, and that's why we have decided to take SuperSystem 4th ed. to Kickstarter! With your support we can produce the sort of SuperSystem 4th ed. book we can all be proud to take to any tabletop gaming gathering. A slick new book will act as the perfect ambassador for our game and allow us to more easily introduce new players to the greatness of Goalsystem! 

This 256 page hardcover book will feature gorgeous color covers and a sharp black & white interior. It will retail for $39.95 USD, but we're offering it here to you for $30 (plus shipping & handling) as a thank you for your pivotal role in completing this project. The PDF version will retail for $11.95, but we're offering it for $6 to backers because we respect the movement of some gamers to e-content, and we want those folks on board for this new edition. This book will see production in some form whether we succeed or not, but we will be unable to get it into wider distribution without a proper print run, and that's what a successful campaign will deliver! We also strongly believe that a great community response could deliver the resources needed to take this book to full color, and that would be super indeed! 

We intend to run this Kickstarter with openness and efficiency. Our goals remain realistic, and as we build momentum, the amount of trim we can add to the rule book will increase. While most stretch goals will be tied to the production of the book itself, we also planned a few surprises along the way! You can find the Kickstarter here.
