Play like a Prime Hero

The rules are free up there. This is the other half: what separates a correct session from one your table remembers for years.

  • Custom 2D tokens. Turn your character into a real token for the table.
  • Print and paint. From file to finished miniature, step by step.
  • Crafting and terrain. Build the world, don't just describe it.
  • Next-Gen Intelligence. Use the tools that already exist today to prepare adventures, characters and maps in an afternoon.

Thinking outside the box isn't knowing more rules. It's bringing things to the table nobody expects.
