Paragons RPG Starter Kit A boxed set with everything you need to learn and play Paragons: The Roleplaying Game.

Have you ever thought "Wow things kind of suck. I wish I could make a difference"?

Well, 1) You can, but that's beside the point. 2) You can also play a TTRPG like Paragons for escapism where your characters are literally superheroes who can save the day!
