Stalwart '85: Core Rules

It’s April 1985. The Comics Inquirer has decided that we are at the end of the “Bronze Age” of comics, but they also said The Mighty Doc Stalwart is only #14 on the list of greatest comic series of all time, so how reliable can they be? You know better. This is a golden age of comics, and your monthly haul is not complete without Doc’s newest issue. So, when you learn that they’ve published a RPG based on Doc’s adventures, you decide this is a must-have. You’re into fantasy gaming, and it may be time to give superheroes a try as well. You had to wait two weeks for your local comic store to get it, but on that fateful day, you rush home on your bike and rip open the cellophane. You cannot wait to tell Matt, Mark, and Ron. Friday night is going to be epic.

About

Stalwart ’85 is a traditional, ‘rules-lite’, pen and paper roleplaying game. To play this game, you need these rules, some paper, pencils, and a set of polyhedrons (dice) including D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D16, and D20. The entire core rulebook is released under a Creative Commons Share-Alike Licenses CC-BY-SA 4.0; all characters and art are drawn from the Public Domain. The full rulebook (156 pages) includes the campaign setting, 'The World of Stalwart'. That is available on DriveThruRPG.

Kickstarter

These core rules are released as a PWYW download because of the amazing people who have backed the Kickstarter support it.
