Special People is a Roll to Dodge game on the Bay12 forums. It is about super powered individuals taken from their home dimensions by godlike beings called Entities and made to compete in challenges. Completing a challenge or objective will give them increased power. The challenges always have a very high death rate, but people who die will always be revived in time for the next one.
