Шындық және Әділет: Суперқаһармандық Рольдік Ойын

the role playing game

Truth & Justice is an "indie" tabletop role playing game designed to emulate the superhero genre. It was created by Chad Underkoffler and published by Atomic Sock Monkey Press. The game allows players to take the role of superheroes and supervillains.

The game uses a modified version of the Prose Descriptive Qualities or PDQ system. PDQ offers three different levels of task resolution for any situation, in order to let players resolve encounters in as much or as little detail as possible. Compared to the standard PDQ system, T&J divides stats into normal scale and super scale. (This is similar to the "mega damage" mechanic in Rifts, or the "mega dice" mechanic in Aberrant.) Therefore, one character may have Good [+2] Strength (i. e. normal scale) and another has Good [+2] Super strength (i. e. super scale). Normal scale must roll 2d6+2 for typical tasks. In contrast, super strength will automatically succeed at normal scale tasks, but must make a 2d6+2 roll for tasks as rated on the super scale. Super scale damage on a normal scale target adds the power's Target Number (i. e. 5 to 13) to the damage ranks done. Normal scale attacks can still affect super scale targets as failure ranks, though they cannot do damage per se.

The game was originally published in PDF and Print on Demand format in July 2005, and a print version became available through distributed retail in 2006. As of March 2007, there are two Truth & Justice supplements: Dial S for Superhumans, a free, downloadable PDF created by several contributors; and The Turtlezilla Dossier focusing on a giant kaiju known as Turtlezilla, a downloadable PDF for purchase.

Truth & Justice won the 2005 Indie RPG Award for Best Support, the 2006 Silver ENnie Award for Best Electronic Book and the 2006 Silver Award for Innovation (an ENnie Judges' Award).
