This series of Comicworld guides deals with various European countries and regions, presenting them as interesting backdrops for superhero-related RPG adventures, offering some allies and antagonists and adventure ideas. Each guide presents a selected country, it’s history, associated images and topics, geared towards their use in Icons RPG, provided with stats.
The goal of this series is to provide entertainment. It’s neither educational (though hopefully it will inspire the readers to research the topic on their own), nor completely serious, honest or objective – for starters, the author is himself an European. Many “ethnic” or, simply non-American heroes and villains presented in superhero comic books are nothing more than stereotypes, with thematic superpowers and costumes, and little personality beyond these, instead of heroes who just happen to be Europeans. I’ve decided to take the middle road – it stands to reason that at least some costumed heroes will proudly display their national symbols, and some will proudly accept and embrace the symbols of their own nation (as they see them) – while others will simply express their own identities.
See the world. Visit different countries. Meet foreign superheroes! Punch foreign bad guys until they explode!
