Watchmen Sourcebook is book detailing the characters and chronology of Watchmen. It is the third and final of the RPG books based on Watchmen, which are notable for being the only spinoffs Alan Moore ever directly contributed to.
Synopsis[]
Watchmen Sourcebook is very much the definitive sourcebook for the Watchmen universe. Most of the characters, even those briefly mentioned, are chronicled here, with the classic Mayfair DC Heroes stats telling of everyone's main strengths and weaknesses. However, unlike other sourcebooks for the game line, instead of narration of each character's history, instead you get a collage of photos, newspaper clippings, and in Nite Owl's and Silk Spectre' cases, their new fake driver's licenses.
This book is a supplement for use with the DC Heroes Role-playing game, Second Edition. All the statistics and game mechanics contained herein conform to the rules and guidelines for play presented in the second edition boxed set, except where specifically noted in the text.
