About The Code | Hero Creation | Game Mechanics | Sample Heroes & Villains The Code is a superhero game, minus the superheroes. Characters are "normal" people who have decided (for whatever reason) to take upon the mantle of "superhero" in order to fight injustice, protect those in need or just have fun wearing a cape and mask. Their motivations, methods and goals may be different, but in them is the desire to bring about change.
