This is the new superhero RPG hotness. Listen as four heroes unite to fight GARBAGEMAN, Neo-Birmingham's newest villain.  Rules and show notes: https://ggnorecast.com/181. WE STAN is a snappy game that produces an actual storyboarded comic book each time you play (no drawing talent necessary). It uses panoptical GM rulings to adjudicate superheroic action rather than using extensive rules and keywords. Its GM-facing procedures create dramatic arcs while still preserving player freedom and encouraging creative problem solving.  Music from https://filmmusic.io / "The Descent" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) / License: CC BY...
