Super Awesome Action Heroes
Super Awesome Action Heroes is a pick up and play RPG set in the world of Action Movies. This is where you can find the rule book(s) and any other expansions for the sytem.

The revised second edition (which is 100% compatible with the first edition) is available right now on both Kindle and as a physical book, but the first edition rules will remain free online.

You can hear this system in use every week on the Actual Play Podcast Stormwood & Associates

Super Awesome Action Heroes 2nd Ed RevisedThis is the updated, revised second edition of the core rules. It's only available for purchase, though with the exception of some archetypes (like "Military" and "Mystic"), characters from first edition should be 100% compatible from the first edition game.

Second edition revised modifies some abilities and adds in the Advanced Combat rules (also available here as a free expansion).

This is the version of the system currently heard on Stormwood & Associates and The Meatgrinder

SAAH Core Rules First EditionThis is the main manual for the first edition of Super Awesome Action Heroes. Well... one point five. There are some retired archetypes in here that were retired in Second Ed, along with an important stat name change. Mostly it's just not as well written a guide to the system, but I promised I'd always leave it online free -- so I will.

Appendix: Legendary Beasts and the SupernaturalOptional rules for horror, fantastical creatures, and other stuff. This is a work in progress.

It includes rules not just for specific creatures (vampires, werecats, etc), but also the rules for creating your own general monsters and horrors that you feel like subjecting your players to.

Largely this is a repository for rules we've needed to create for some of the more fantastical portions of Stormwood & Associates.

Appendix: Fantasy ArchetypesThese are additional Archetypes and Rules for SAAH to be used in a Fantasy Setting. Now you can go all sweet-move style upside the head of some fodder orcs... or something.

These are compatible with both first and second edition.

These are optional modifications to the rules of SAAH which are compatible with both first and second edition. These rules have been incorporated into the Second Ed. Revised version of the manual.

This is just a simple page that can be used by a GM as quick reference on their laptop while playing. It includes a scratchpad, but this isn't saved anywhere -- so don't leave anything important in it.
