'''Peril Patrol: The Roleplaying Game''' is a fast, rules-light superhero RPG set in [[Peril:Skyscraper City|Skyscraper City]], where heroes battle mad scientists, monsters, alien conquerors, badly supervised robuts, unionized Goons and their own terrible judgment.

The heroes are real heroes. The villains are real villains. The danger is real. '''The consequences are negotiable.'''

== About the Game ==

Peril Patrol is built for fast character creation, broad superhero Powers, wild improvised Stunts and comic-book logic.

Characters fit on a 3×5 index card. Powers are flexible rather than exhaustively defined. Villains do not have to be fair. Failure makes things worse instead of stopping the story.

There are no Secret Origins, tortured backstories, point-balanced Power builds or long equipment lists.

If making the character takes more than five minutes, simplify.

'''Find the joke. Make the character. Fight crime.'''
