It's the 1920s Prohibition Era in the United States. Alcohol is illegal. Organized crime grows at an unprecedented rate as gangsters get rich selling hooch to a thirsty populace. You are one of those gangsters... and you have superpowers!

That, in a nutshell, is CAPERS, the role-playing game of 1920s superpowered crime! Use eye-projected heat beams to melt the door of a safe! Snatch purses by running faster than the speed of sound! Take the police from behind by using a dimensional portal to appear out of thin air! Or, be one of the proud members of the thin blue line seeking to keep the innocent and law-abiding safe from the predations of superpowered crime! CAPERS is beautifully illustrated by Beth Varni, whose work is a veritable eyeball feast, and it's on Kickstarter right now!

CAPERS is the game of gangsters with superpowers from NerdBurger Games and designer Craig Campbell is a man who knows his onions. Campbell has over 30 published credits to his name, including work on Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Gamma World. In 2016 he Kickstarted an RPG of his own design, Murders & Acquisitions which is an absurdist RPG of "espionage, subterfuge, intrigue, theft, and murder" in the corporate world. CAPERS is his second original RPG, and came about through a decision to explore a different historical era and an intense binge-watching session of Boardwalk Empire.
