Who builds it

P&P Ready is built and maintained by a working software engineer with more than 20 years of experience, who runs this game at a regular table. It exists because we wanted a tool designed to work smoothly during a session, and none of the existing options quite fit Prowlers & Paragons.

P&P Ready is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LakeSide Games, Inc. or Mobius Worlds Publishing. Prowlers & Paragons and related marks are trademarks of LakeSide Games, Inc.

How it started

Our group meets regularly to play tabletop RPGs and board games. We've played systems such as D&D 5e and Nimble RPG, but one of us eventually went looking for a superhero game and came back with Prowlers & Paragons.

What sold him was the character creation. The system gives you enough flexibility to build almost any kind of hero, from familiar comic-book archetypes to entirely original concepts, without forcing the character into a narrow mechanical framework. He ran a few sessions for us, and we were hooked.

As we played, the first reference tools were small and private. Looking through the book during a session slowed things down, and we wanted a faster way to find answers. A few personal notes gradually became searchable indexes and lookup tables.

Running the game exposed the rest. Printed GM screen, books on the table, dice ready, and still more mental work than anyone wants mid-scene. How difficult should this check be? What does this result mean in practice? A digital GM screen was the obvious answer, so it got built.

More sessions turned up more tools worth having. The table was already using the character sheets, so those kept getting refined alongside everything else.

Although Prowlers & Paragons is often described as rules-light, it has considerable depth. Powers can have lengthy descriptions, some situations depend on lookup tables or edge cases, and the character options are remarkably broad. The game supports multiple identities with separate sheets, sidekicks, alternate forms, and customizable vehicles.

That depth is what makes it worth playing. P&P Ready exists to make the game easier to run, faster to reference, and more accessible to the people who already enjoy playing it.
