I don't have them posted anywhere, but if you want to PM me an email address, I can send them on to you.   I'm travelling for work at the moment, but will be back home this weekend and can get them then.

Very nice.
It's great to see you having a good time with your kids as well.
I really like your superhero project and the super simple rules.

Very nice. I have read your blog !!

I have also two boys (6 and 8 y.o.). They want to play with my "Mavel Heroes" boardgame but I find the rules too difficult for them. So, your rules could be a very good way to play with the 20 figures in it... and to enter in the table-top games I play (pulp, spy-fi, WH40K, Saga,...)   ;)

I will send you a pm for them.

As i dont have kids, but i am pretty sure with confidence i can say right there are two very good reasons for playing games period. Be they roleplaying games, tabletop games, board games, card games or dice games or whatever kinds of games.
Way to go Chris. The AAR looks wicked. And the fun was had by all. This i can see.
Be sure to share more when you can.

Well,  due to the lack of metal miniatures for some of the figures my kids wanted, I've broken down and started buying some Heroclix figures from eBay on the cheap.  As expected, the factory paint jobs are underwhelming to just plain terrible.  However, with some repainting, I'm finding them not so hard on the eyes anymore:

So far I've only completed three figures, but I'm happy with how they are looking.
