CAPERS is an RPG from NerdBurger Games full of super-spies and super-villains. That’s right, you get to be a spy with superpowers! If that doesn’t sound cool, I don’t know what will. Well, a new supplement for CAPERS is on its way via Kickstarter called CAPERS Covert and it takes players to 1960s Las Vegas.
“It’s the 1960s and the Cold War rages. Diabolical super-villains implement plans for market, corporate, and global domination. Scientists craft gadgets to help sexy super-spies battle these villains. You are one of these super-villains or super-spies clashing in exciting and exotic locales…and you have super-powers!
In CAPERS Covert, you portray a character with extraordinary abilities living a high stakes life as a super-spy or a super-villain.”
CAPERS Covert provides players with expanded character options, expanded rules for vehicle chases and more, gadgets, new powers, more guidelines and tools for the GM, and organizations for both the spies and the villains.
Now, I have not played CAPERS, but it sounds like a lot of fun. Not only do you get to pretend to be a really cool super-spy, but the mechanics sound interesting. Instead of using dice, you use normal playing cards. The value of the card and the suit help determine how successful you are in your actions. This is cool.
Now, what do you get if you back the project? Well, beyond getting CAPERS Covert, you can also potentially get CAPERS, CAPERS Noir (another supplement for the game), links to additional materials available for additional costs, your very own character put in the game as an NPC, and/or your likeness in the comic story also being released.
CAPERS Covert’s Kickstarter has a little over 10 days to go and was fully funded in 90 minutes. Will you be getting your own copy?
