Description

The air screams around your helmet as you hurtle past the final turn and towards the finish line. Your best friend looks to make a pass that could take both of you out. Do you play it safe and risk losing, or play for glory and risk everything? 

Welcome to Superstars: Racing Icons.

Trophies are nice, but racing careers are short and you’re here to build something that lasts. Is that a rabid group of loyal fans who follow your every move? A list of sponsors willing to keep you comfortable long after your racing days? Or just one meaningful connection with a teammate, a rival, a friend, a lover? 

Winners get champagne, legends last forever.

Superstars: Racing Icons is a GMless tabletop roleplaying game for 3-6 players,  intended to be approachable for fans AND players who aren't very familiar with racing. It was framed with some touchpoints (real life motorsports as well as movies like Speed Racer, The Fast and the Furious, and others), but is intentionally built for expanding or translating the setting into whatever you are interested in. You could play as motorcycle racers in a contemporary setting, mech racers in a cyberpunk setting, spaceship racers in a sci-fi setting, or anything else you can think of! 

Superstars: Racing Icons was written by Tristan B Willis and Pete Volk. Layout and graphic design are by Tristan B Willis. It is a hack of Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands by Meguey Baker and Vincent Baker at Lumpley Games - we highly highly recommend buying Firebrands!
