Power World is a Role Playing Game set in a world of Super Heroes. It is designed to be played with 2 – 6 Players. This is a game where you and your friends tell an action packed super heroic tale of your own creation that could have been pulled straight from the comics, books, or cinema. With Power World you can play characters from your favorite franchises or create heroes wholly your own.
The rules of the game are there so that the story you tell together can have twists and turns. The players of the game can never be certain of the outcomes even as you “write” the story together.
To play Power World you will need these rules, regular six sided dice (the more the merrier), paper and pencils. To make things even simpler, character sheets and other templates are available to save the Players some writing.
Throughout the site you will find Elaborations and Examples, which can be clicked upon to reveal their contents. Elaborations contain further commentary as to why a rule exists and advice on implementing the rules. Examples provide examples of game-play for the rules listed above it.

Elaborations
Examples and Elaborations have been put behind these “Accordian Links” so that people can reference the meat of the game quickly. They are always placed in reference to the Rules above. Examples and Elaborations help teach how to play the game and provide a starting point in personalizing how Players may wish to implement, elaborate upon, or even drop a rule entirely.
If how the Players interpret the rules is fun for them, then that is the right way to play Power World
