Demongate High
Demongate High is the world’s single school for
supernaturally-talented youth. Run for centuries in secret, it teaches
such gifted students to control their powers and use them in the fight
against demons as well as humans who would use their own powers for
evil ends.
The Demongate High book, written to resemble a student’s orientation
packet, includes rules for creating supernaturally-powered characters
including Half-demons, Holy Chosen, Inheritors, Seers, Spirit Energists,
Summoners, Warders, and, of course, ESPers. Each type of student
brings their own unique abilities to the fight against demons, and
their own personalities to life in high school.
The book includes over fifty demons, new skills and Backgrounds, and
an introductory adventure module, as well as limitless paranormal
thrills.
And you thought high school would be boring.
Perfect Horizon - HDL Cyberpop Setting
Take a step away from the gritty, post-apocalyptic futures
of cyberpunk gaming, and into the world of “cyberpop.” Perfect Horizon
offers a new vision of the future, where cyborgs and
genetically-engineered “perfect humans” exist side-by-side.
Mega-corporations rule the economy, conglomerate nations vie for
political power, and the ever-growing slums of the “outlands” harbor
ever more dangerous criminals, while the human race takes its first
steps away from Earth and into the solar system.
This book includes new character options, including new species such
as Neutopes and Terraformers, as well as extensive cybernetics and
technology descriptions, including robotic “ARC” armor. New skills and
Backgrounds fill out your characters in a world filled with intrigue,
danger, and excitement. The book includes a detailed timeline of the
world of the 2150’s, political and economic climates, and enough plot
hooks to kickstart your adventures into high gear.
