Super Awesome Action Heroes (First Ed)
These are the revised first edition core rules for Super Awesome Action Heroes. The original version of these went online in 2006, and then several revisions were made in 2019. I promised this version of the rules would always remain online for free, and I'm sticking with it (even though the second edition is, frankly, slightly better -- and less of a product of the mid-2000s). These rules are 90% compatible with the second edition.
