Introduction!

Power Fudge is a table-top role-playing game.  In Power Fudge, you take on the role of a fictitious and exceptional person in a make-believe city where bizarre, frightening, and weird goings-on are commonplace, if not commonly recognized by the non-exceptional inhabitants and visitors.

Your fictitious and exceptional person - the character you play in Power Fudge - is defined not only by your imagination, but by a collection of pre-defined traits built using the rules of the game.  You roll dice to test those traits - the result determining whether or not your character was successful in the test or not; if you want your character to break down a door, for instance, a roll of the dice will tell you if your character victoriously slams the door open, or painfully slams into the door.

Power Fudge is not a game you can win or lose.  Your character might win a fight against an opponent, or the good guys may win the day over the bad guys, but the goal of Power Fudge is to engage in a shared fantasy, where you and your friends play the unsung heroes continually keeping their city safe from things that go bump in the night.

Power Fudge is a Fate derivative with strong, traditionalist Fudge influences.  It's Agents of SHIELD meets The Dresden Files set in Twin Peaks.  Have fun!
