The year is 2055 and Earth has changed. Some say for the better, others say that the world is nothing more than a playground for those with power. Heroes and tyrants, the rich and the poor, all struggle to survive in a future where nothing is certain, and anything can be bought… For the right price.

Welcome to the second of my projects. This is the Heroes Unlimited setting I plan to run my game in. This is a work-in-progress and, thus, far from finished. The information you find here will cover each of the major regions of the world, an overview of the technology, and the various organizations and factions (both good and evil) that exist.

This setting currently consists of a world overview of the various countries of the world (though I have yet to develop each on individually and determine how each interacts with the others), a few of the organizations and government agencies, and an overview of the technological advancements that have taken place. I would highly recommend using the weapons from Aliens Unlimited and Century Station as a basis for developing new weapons for use in your own games.

Please note that I have drawn inspiration for this setting from several places, including the Babylon 5, Sentinel, Stargate, and Dark Angel television series, as well as various science-fiction movies and the Fading Suns RPG.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to e-mail me (I'll be happy to give you full credit for the suggestion).
