Gestalt: The Hero Within (COLOR)

Where Men Become Myth - and Myths Become Men Superhero comic books contain worlds of Archetypes, individuals who represent important symbols. All fiction deals in archetypes or symbols, but comic books apply them more consciously than most fictional forms. The Gestalt campaign takes the idea of "character as Archetype" one step further. In Gestalt-Earth, the characters ARE the symbols. A physically powerful superhero might not just be a strong guy -- he could be an embodiment of Strength. A Gestalt martial arts master isn't just a superb fighter -- he's the human representation of his chosen art. While characters in the Gestalt-Earth setting look and act like superheroes, in many ways they fulfill the role of mythological gods, becoming the champion of concepts and portfolios. Gestalt uses the HERO System roleplaying game under license from Hero Games.
