Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

Responsibility Principles
These principles speak to the burden of being a
hero: as a hero, you are in costume and “on the job”,
but what is the rest of your life like? Are you just an
average civilian? Do you have a secret identity? Who
are you when you’re not heroing, and how does
that influence and impact you as a hero? How does
being a hero weigh on your day to day life?
PRiNCiPLE OF BUSiNESS
During Roleplaying: You are an entrepreneur — running a business is an important part of your life
and your identity. You have a base of operations that you can rely on for support.
Minor Twist: You’re always looking at the bigger picture. How does that cause friction in the
moment with your team?
Major Twist: Your business interests are in danger. Where are your priorities, truly?
