We Can Be Heroes Officially Funded!
Holy crap! We did it! Each and every one of you has helped make our dream come true and we can’t thank you enough. We are going to get to work on making sure this is the best damn superhero TTRPG you’ve ever played!
Next Steps
Surveys
We will be sending out surveys to collect your shipping information. You should see these come through in the next week or so. Keep that super vision tuned to your inbox!
Thank You!!!
I (Spencer) want to take the time to thank my teammates, the BudStuff Boyz. Mikey, Jesse, Ryan, Pete, and Smiley. They’ve been 100% on board with this vision since the very beginning and teamwork really has made the dream work. Each one of them brought various skills to the table and I love each of them with all my heart.
We also want to thank Max Bare for being incredibly easy to work with and for providing us with a brand identity that truly fits our vision. His weird and wild illustrations are a huge part of our success and we look forward to continuing to work with him.
As a team, we want to thank our guys RadSamurai and Maltzazar from our Discord community. These guys have been keeping people engaged and excited about the game and have been so helpful in growing our community.
And of course we would not have been able to do this without all of our backers. You all believed in the idea, game mechanics, and the artwork. You provided us with the funds to get this project off the ground. We will provide you with a very cool game and a beautiful hardcover book. Together, WE can be heroes!

More Top Tiers Still Open!
We still have some of our higher tiers available and time is running out to upgrade or pledge!
Custom Superhero or Villain with Artwork from Max Bare!
We had a $500 tier open up so if you were considering upgrading your pledge or missed out on this amazing tier the first time, now's your chance!
With this tier, you get to build and name a hero or villain within the We Can Be Heroes lore. It will appear in the book as a custom stat block and will have a backstory created by you! Your character design and backstory is subject to final approval by the game developers.
You will receive a print and digital copy of the custom art of your character from our illustrator, Max Bare. You also receive all previous reward tiers.
Play a One-off with the Developers
Get to know the devs of We Can Be Heroes and play an exlusive adventure module. You and up to 3 friends will play a virtual one-off adventure run by the developers of We Can Be Heroes. You also receive all previous reward tiers. The session will run 3-4 hours, scheduling TBD.
Your NPC in the Book
Get a custom statblock in the book and work with the devs to design an NPC that fits into the world of We Can Be Heroes.
You will get to design and name an NPC (use your name if you want) to be included in the book. You also receive all previous reward tiers. The developers of We Can Be Heroes will set up a call with you to design your NPC and determine where they fit into the world lore (subject to final approval by the game developers).
24 Hours to Go!

We really can't believe the Kickstarter journey is coming to a close. It has been an amazing challenge for the entire team and we want to thank each and every one of our backers from the bottom of our hearts.
Share! Share! Share!
With just about 24 hours to go, we would love it if you shared We Can Be Heroes with people you know. Share the link: https://shorturl.at/bclLW on social media and with friends or family that may dig our weird and wild superhero TTRPG.
Social Media Channels
Don't forget to follow us on all our social media channels for the latest news, videos, and our weekly episode of "We Can Talk Heroes."
This is the best place to come for behind-the-scenes stuff with the devs and people who are already playing the game. Come join in on the discussion and be the first to get news about upcoming events, contests, and playtests.
Or Twitter or whatever. We love to promote other creators on this platform using #TTRPGCommunity. If you're a designer or a fan of TTRPG's, find us here to help build the community.
The latest platform is starting to take off a bit and we enjoy our small but growing community. If you're on there, give us a follow and interact with us.
We are here until the government shuts it down and then we will have to find another place to post our silly videos. Still trying to convince our guy Smiley to do a cute dance but we aren't holding our breath.

Kickstarter Ends 3/19 at 9 AM!
Make sure to share We Can Be Heroes with anyone and everyone! We still have a chance to hit the next stretch goal!
This has been such an incredible experience so far and it is going to be weird moving on from all of the preparations and work our team did to get this Kickstarter off the ground. We have a special game for you and now we get to fully focus on the final touches for mechanics and formatting.
Tabletop Journeys Podcast
Our guest stretch on the Tabletop Journeys Podcast wrapped up yesterday with their review of our system. These guys have some really great insight and undertanding of the game after playing a demo combat encounter at AcadeCon last year and our one-off adventure during this run. You can listen to all 5 episodes now!
We want to thank Glen, Josh, and Lewanika for the support and interest in our game. They have been professional, hilarious, and a true pleasure to work with. Subscribe to their podcasts and check out their product line as well. So much good stuff!
The first episode is an interview with Spencer Reichley, lead game designer and creator of We Can Be Heroes. The questions are incredibly insightful as they bring out much of the design philosophy behind the game and Spencer's passion for the project.
We get into character creation in episode 2. The guys each build a hero from the ground up as they go over many of the available options for superpowers, secondary powers, origins, and other abilities. This is a great peak behind the hero creation process and a must listen.
Part 1 of 2 for the actual play segment. One of our devs, Smiley, joins the fray as the TTJ and BSG team join forces to take on an icy threat at the Riker Dam.
The TTJ crew reviews the system with feedback, suggestions, and plenty of praise. They clearly enjoyed themselves while playing and it shines through during their breakdown of the major mechanics and roleplaying aspects.
BAMF Podcast!

About Last Night
We were on the BAMF Podcast last night for an awesome bank heist demo with plenty of superhero action.
Check out the actual play and get to know the combat mechanics a bit better. This is a sneak preview of one of the first adventures we plan on publishing after the book ships out.
Stretch Goals Ahead!
We aren't far away from the next stretch goal at $20k. We can't believe we've made it this far already and we would love it if you shared this project with anyone that might be into weird, wild, and awesome superhero action.
Superhero Madness!
The finals are almost set. Voting is close between Deadpool and Wolverine! Our Discord channel has Wolverine up but Instagram has Deadpool.
