Seek Justice With Your Friends in Justice League Unlimited: The Roleplaying Game

Set in a universe influenced by Amanda Waller's actions in the DC comic book series Absolute Power, the 'Unlimited' Justice League's organization operates from a new satellite called the Watchtower, welcoming all heroes to join its ranks.  Character creation is a core aspect of the game, as players will have complete freedom to bring their own vision of a hero to life with a vast array of races and philosophies. From Amazons to Kryptonians, Meta-Humans and Cyber Constructs, players can craft backstories to define their motivations and approaches to conflict. They can become the Champion of Tomorrow, who inspires hope, the Dark Knight who wields fear as a weapon from the shadows, and many, many more hero archetypes to build from.

In Justice League Unlimited: The Roleplaying Game, being a hero goes beyond simply defeating villains. The narrative delves into the profound responsibility of bearing this mantle. In the beginning, players will answer five fundamental questions, the League's "Tacit Clauses," which define each character's moral code. D20 Culture has designed the game's system as a tool to facilitate the creation of heroic sagas, fostering interpretation and collaboration between players and the 'Editor' running the game, as players narrate their heroes' deeds.

Using Ascension Points (PAX), players will be able to customize their Attributes (Potency, Agility, Mind, etc.) and purchase powers which will evolve over time eventually allowing them to wield magic on a planetary scale. Powers can take many forms including Super Strength, Flight, Speed Force, Magic, Telepathy, and technological Exoskeletons, Lantern Rings to name just a few. The game will then unfold in a series of dynamic scenes featuring:

• Combat Scenes: Fast-paced and cinematic threats ranging from street-level henchmen to apocalyptic forces.
• Saving Scenes: Time-sensitive missions to rescue innocent people from different disasters.
• Interlude Moments: Quiet moments that allow players to delve deeper into their hero's personality, interact with allies outside the battlefield, progress in personal arcs, and recover for their next crisis.
• The Crisis Die: Activating the Crisis Die unleashes catastrophic events that alter history's course, such as an unforeseen alien invasion, the loss of powers, or the arrival of a time traveler.
