"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

From the web:

Includes (i) a cardstock sheet (slightly smaller than 8.5 x 11) with the combat table and other useful information, (ii) a cardstock character sheet, (iii) an approximately 8.5 x 11 errata sheet.

Villains & Vigilantes is a role-playing game simulating the lives and adventures of comic-book style superheroes. Players take the roles of superheroes. But unlike most role-playing games, in V&V, the character used by the player is himself with the addition of super-powers. Each character receives a random set of powers, then creates a costume and a.name in order to fight crime and protect society. As the characters gain experience, their abilities will increase, along with the difficulty of the tasks they will be called upon to perform.
