HENCH

You are not the half-lizard mad scientist. You are the way underpaid, way out of her depth super-fan that thought it’d be fun to live a life of supercrime. You watch your best friend from your villain fandom days die in the collateral damage of a hero’s magnet blast.

You are the one time groupie, made full time employee, who thought Dr. Reptilla would have been impressed enough to turn you into a hot lizard wife by now. Maybe one more job will show her you’re worthy of attention. You are plotting an unfortunate accident for Dr Reptilla's second in command.

You are the failed solo villain with a sickening grudge against the guy that stole your girlfriend: Magnetic-Man. Your grudge will not pay rent this month, but maybe Dr. Reptilla will.

You are the accountant that got held hostage on a heist, but pointed out a variety of organizational issues and have somehow been convinced into figuring out a way for this villain to rise through the ranks of infamy. You know you could run this crew better than anyone else here.

Hench is a tabletop game for 3-6 players, about your group of henchmen going on missions of comedic villainy.

It is played with a playing-card resolution system, drawing cards instead of rolling dice, and following prompts based on which card you pick to play.

Play one of 7 playbooks, or the special boss playbook!

Hench features a rotating-gm system, where any player can pick up the role of The Boss for a mission, with tools to establish canon and hooks between missions for a cohesive feel.
