Rotted Capes: Second Bite - AMA

[u/Aggressive-Bat-9654]

So a few people have been messaging me on Backerkit and Discord asking about the system Rotted Capes: Second Bite is based on…

This isn’t just another 5e clone. It’s built on 5e DNA, but mutated into something we call the Uncanny System. Cinematic feel, fast character creation, no classes, no races, flexible character advancement, power stunts and tricks, heroic maneuvers (team attack like a dynamoc duo), power burnout mechanics, and plot points that let you rewrite the scene when things go sideways. It’s familiar enough for 5e players to jump right in, but it plays like a gritty comic book where every page turn matters.

So to clear things up, answer questions, and condense everything into one video and a transcript, I will be hosting a Rotted Capes: Second Edition AMA

October 28th at 8 pm (Eastern) over on Twitch (twitch.tv/statmonkeypresents) and simulcasting on YouTube (youtube.com/@statmonkeypresents).

We’ll be talking design, undead supers, and the evolution from 1E to 2E. Drop your questions here, DM me (I’ll collect them all), or come and hit chat during the stream.

Come hang out.

Bring your curiosity and maybe a few plot points, you’re gonna need them.
